Archive options
The TVN 20 has the ability to locally (from the unit itself)
archive video to a USB memory stick. This utilizes the
USB 2.0 and later style memory drive devices.
The unit will archive as much video as there is space on
the device. Video data is archived beginning with the
newest video to oldest video based upon the time stamp
of the video. The archive function simply copies the
selected video to the USB device.
There are two methods available to archive video from
the TVN 20 using a USB memory stick plugged into the
TVN 20.
