FEATURES
The RV2400 Series of time-lapse VCRs are
designed specifically for security purposes. Its
features include time-lapse recordings, frame-by-
frame tape analysis, slow motion playback and
alarm indications.
Recordings are possible in 2-hour, 12-hour and
24-hour recording modes for NTSC formats, and
3-hour, 12-hour and 24-hour recording modes
for PAL formats. By connecting recorders in a
series configuration, you can achieve longer
recording intervals.
Front panel controls enable you to analyze video
frame-by-frame, and playback video in slow
motion.
Alarm alerts are indicated on the multi-function
display. In addition, an audible indication alerts
you of an alarm event.
