Features

Field recording/field playback
Because single fields can be recorded one by one in
time lapse mode and all fields can be viewed
separately during playback, you can record more
information.
Audio recording in 12-/24-mode
You can record audio information with video
information even in 12- or 24-hour mode and listen to
it by selecting audio mode during playback.
Various recording functions
• Repeat recording: When the tape reaches the end,
the VCR rewinds the tape and starts recording again
from the beginning of the tape.
• Timer recording: You can set the timer on daily
recording or weekly recording.
• Alarm recording: If an externally connected alarm
sensor is triggered, you can make a complete
recording of the situation that triggered the alarm.
Mode settings on monitor
You can set the modes for all functions, such as the
internal timer setting, the alarm recording mode
settings, etc. on the monitor.
Series recording function
This function permits long-term continuous recording
using two or more time lapse VCRs.
Multiple recording modes
The time lapse intervals for recording can be set in 8
steps. At the longest interval setting, available
recording time is a full 168 hours (7 days) with one
180-minute tape.
Clog detection
The VCR always checks that the video signal is
recorded without problem (in time lapse mode only).
If the recording cannot be made properly because the
recording head has become clogged, the VCR will give
a warning.
Used time indicator
This VCR has a built-in microprocessor equipped with
a calendar function and shows used time of head drum
and power on time on the monitor screen.
Alarm scan function
You can scan the alarm recording and play it back for
five seconds.
Clock operation backup
When a power interruption occurs, the built-in
rechargeable battery will provide backup power for the
clock for up to 30 days.
Essential data, such as data setting, internal timer
settings, recording time, and mode settings, and alarm
recording mode settings are also retained.
Security lock
To guard against operation errors, this VCR locks all
of the buttons.
Monitoring the recording condition
You can check the recorded image during recording by
pressing a single button.
RS-232C interface

Interface Board, you can control this VCR from a
