INSTALLATION

PRE-INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

•Provide secure power to system components. Prevent overloading or shorting by dedicating power circuits to the surveillance equipment. Restrict access to the surveillance system circuit breakers, switches, and equipment power cords.

•If you need to record multiple cameras, a multiplexer is required.

•Surveillance system components must be operationally compatible. Time-lapse recording speeds and dwell times of any accessory switching equipment must be compatible with each other.

•The TLR3168 Time-Lapse VCR provides multiple alarm recording speeds so it is important that alarm triggering of components be operationally compatible. Refer to the Introduction to Time-Lapse Recorders section for information on time-lapse recording.

•Complete all system hookups (cameras, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the VCR where you cannot access its rear panel.

•Do not connect color and black and white cameras together.

SECURING THE VCR CONTROLS

Protect surveillance equipment to forestall tampering. We recommend putting the recorder in a secure VCR cabinet. Pelco offers such units—the RM2001, which is a rack kit for a single VCR.

MONITOR TIPS

•Pelco recommends using a CCTV monitor.

•Some monitors may cause picture vibration or picture distortion at the top or bottom of the image during still or normal playback. (Refer to the Vertical Adjustment section for information.)

•A television may be unable to provide a stable picture without vibration or distortion.
