28 TruVision NVR 20 User Manual
Note: By default every camera added to the system is automatically enabled for
7x24 continuous recording.
The TVN 20 uses a maximum of two recording profiles (independent frame rate,
resolution, and bandwidth) with recording schedules. Not all listed IP cameras
support two recording profiles. Where the camera supports, the two possible
profiles are (check the IP Compatibility Chart for specifics):
• Main (Normal) - associated with Scheduled/Time-Lapse Recording
• Main (Event) – associated with Motion and Alarm Recording
• SubStream – available only for live view in multi-camera display through
the browser and Interlogix TruVision Navigator software (if supported by
the camera)
