In addition, the TVN 20 supports a variety of IP Cameras from different
manufacturers.
Important Note: Not all IP Cameras will have the same level of feature support.
These limitations often are limited by the different IP cameras and the protocol
they support.
The appendices at the end of this manual includes specific information on
TVN 20 technical specifications as well as specific information concerning the
unit’s IP camera capacities and IP camera feature capabilities.
IP Device Auto-Discovery Tools
The TVN 20 can automatically “discover” a number of IP Cameras (different
makes and models) on a network. The TVN 20 can only discover devices that
are on the same network as the TVN 20.
For example, if the TVN 20 is on a network with an IP address of 192.168.1.82
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then the only IP cameras it can find will be
in the range of 1 to 255 of the last octet.
Interlogix and other IP camera manufacturer’s provide auto-discovery tools that
make it easy to change the default IP address to conform to your network
addressing needs. It is strongly recommended you use these tools to quickly
identify and modify your IP device address needs.
Interlogix devices that support auto-discovery can be identified on the network
using the TruVision Device Finder. This simple tool allows you to view and
modify the IP address of any TruVision supported devices. This tool is included
on the TVN 20 Resource Disk included with your product. An introduction to the
tool is available in the Appendix (see page 130).
Understanding the TVN 20 Browser
The TVN 20 browser page utilizes Windows ActiveX controls on the Client PC
and delivers expected performance using Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 and
