FEATURES
Up to 960 hours of recording: an ideal video system for automated security and surveillance systems.
This time lapse VCR is designed especially for industrial, educational and security recording. In addition to ordinary 2-hour and 6-hour
recording modes, it has time lapse modes that permit recording of
48,
120, 168, 240, 360,480, 720 or 960 hours. The
recording mode can be extended up to 64,800 hours (for T-120 tape) if you choose one-shot recording with a 3 minute interval time.
Frame-by-frame playback and high-speed playback of longer recordings are also available. This adds up to a powerful surveillance
system for banks, buildings, traffic and parking lots, as well as a convenient scientific tool for observation of plant growth, animal
behavior and other time-intensive processes.
Audio Recording
Record Check
When recording in
6H or
mode, audio is
played back only during their respective modes.
S-VHS mode
This mode has higher resolution and picture quality than normal
VHS mode when using S-VHS tapes.
S-VHS ET mode
S-VHS ET recording using VHS tapes has closer picture quality to
the S-VHS recording (over 400 lines of resolution).
High Density Recording
High Density recording records 3x more fields than Normal Density
(SP). It reduces the time interval between pictures, providing more
pictures and smoother time lapse recording.
Tape Remaining Indicator
A bar indicator shows how much tape is left and/or that the tape
has approximately three minutes (in 2H mode) left.
Automatic Head Clog Detection and Cleaning
For continuous smooth operation, the VCR automatically detects
and cleans up foreign matter while recording, simultaneously
sensing the output from the video heads.
Easy Setting using a Monitor
The on-screen menus simplify setting-up procedures, These
menus can be selected even without the input of a video signal.
Easy Cueing with Alarm Recording

recording” for easy cueing. You can confirm the Alarm starting
time in the playback video on the monitor or with the Alarm list
using the Maintenance menu.

VCR.
Correct recording can be confirmed by pressing the PLAY button
during recording.
Automatic Head Azimuth Selection
This VCR can automatically select playback heads for normal VHS
