enabled. The TVN 20 will automatically perform a time synchronization to the
IP camera every 5 minutes.

Step 4: Adding IP Cameras

Adding IP cameras to the TVN 20 is at the heart and soul of the system. There
are two methods for adding IP cameras:

• Automatically via Auto-Discovery (using Quick Add function)

• Manually

Auto-Discovery automatically locates the IP address of IP cameras and inputs
the default connection parameters (User Name, Password, and Port Number). If
a camera does not support Auto-Discovery, the User can manually add cameras
without loss of capability.

Using the Quick Add function

Use the Quick Add button to locate Auto-Discovery compatible IP camera
devices. The unit will scan the local network and list all discoverable camera
devices. Use the check box to select those devices you wish to add to the
connected TVN 20.

Quick Add will only detect cameras that are on the same LAN. It is not able to
detect cameras that are on a VLAN. If Quick Add does not detect your cameras,
please follow the procedures listed under Alternative Add - Manual Process.
