Recording Configuration
TruVision SVR also configures the recording settings of the cameras via the device configuration
window in TruVision Navigator interface.
Right-click on SVR and select [Configure Device] and select [Recording] tab.
Various settings including recording mode, event recording mode, and compression settings can be
applied to the camera with this interface. For more information, refer to Chapter 5: Cameras on
page 31.
Event recording
Event recording allows a camera to be configured for a higher frame rate when an event is generated.
The camera can also be configured for pre-roll or post roll on an event so that video is recorded at the
higher frame rate a few seconds before and after the event occurs. After the event restores and any
amount of post roll recording has passed, the camera returns to the normal recording mode that was
set prior to the event.
Event recording is fully supported for MJPEG and MPEG4, but with H.264 the event recording frame
rate has to be set to the normal recording frame rate. MPEG-4 can also record I-frames on non-event
and then record at the normal frame rate when an event occurs.
Notifications
TruVision SVR configures notifications for specific events such as Network usage, CPU usage, and
Disk Busy status with appropriate thresholds. To do this: right-click on SVR and select [Configure
Device] and select the [Notifications] tab.

To set up a retention period, select “Automatically delete video older than date” and enter the desired
number in the Days field.
