TLR3168 FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

NOTE: The battery backup is for memory only—the VCR does not continue re- cording if the power goes out. If you want to keep re- cording during an outage, make sure the VCR system is on your UPS (uninterruptible power sup- ply) system.

The TLR3168 Time-Lapse VCR is a powerful surveillance tool designed for industrial and security recording. The unit supports both T-120 and T-160 tapes.

T-120 Tapes

The unit can record for 6, 18, 30, 48, 72, 96, 120, or 168 hours.

T-160 Tapes

The unit can record for 8, 24, 40, 64, 96, 128, 160, or 224 hours.

The TLR3168 features frame-by-frame and field-by-field playback and high-speed search. Playback also allows still picture viewing.

Audio Recording—The 6H, 8H, L18H, L24H, L30H, and L40H modes allow audio recording.

Resolution and Image Quality—This VCR has a horizontal resolution of more than 240 lines in VHS mode and more than 400 lines in super resolution mode.

Remote Operation by PC via RS-232—You can use a personal computer that has an RS- 232 serial port to remotely control the VCR.

Automatic Head Cleaning—This VCR automatically removes foreign matter from the heads when a cassette is inserted for continuous smooth operation.

Easy Setup Using a Monitor—The on-screen menus simplify setup programming.

Easy Cueing with Alarm Recording—Index signals are automatically added at the beginning of alarm recording for easy cueing. You can even use the monitor to confirm an alarm recording’s starting time.

External Time Clock Adjustment—You can reset the on-screen clock to the nearest hour by applying a signal to the RST (reset) IN terminal at the rear of the VCR.

One-Button Recording Check—You can confirm correct recording by pressing the PLAY/REC CHECK button during recording.

Variety of Search Functions—You can do index and skip searches, or search by time and date.

Special Playback Features—These include still images, speed search, reverse playback, frame-by-frame and field-by-field viewing in both directions, slow-motion, and high-speed viewing.

JOG Dial/SHUTTLE Ring—You can use these controls to search for the desired image. You can adjust the playback speed with the SHUTTLE ring and search for an image frame- by-frame with the JOG dial.

Recording Options—This system offers the following recording options: daily/weekly/ holiday timer recording, alarm recording, series recording, remote recording, repeat recording, one shot/interval recording, and synchronous recording.

Complete or Partial Front Panel Lock—All or some of the front panel buttons can be locked, keeping the VCR in its current condition.

Protection Against Power Failures—Recording data (including date, time, and timer setup) is stored in backup memory, so the system can resume recording after a power failure. The monitor displays the time of the failure.

Digital Elapsed Time Display—The elapsed time of recording and playback is stored in non-volatile memory. You can use the elapsed time display as a guide to when to do periodic maintenance.

Tape Use Counter—This counter displays how many times you have recorded on a tape. This helps you decide when you need to replace a tape.

Daylight Savings Time Setting—A daylight savings time setting is available. You can set the clock forward an hour by programming the menu.
