Features

Video recorder with long

recording capability

The recorder uses memory cards

identified by the P2 logo, such as

the separately available AJ-

P2C016RG. (This type of card is

called a “P2 card” in this manual.)

P2 card is inserted, available

recording time is up to 128 hours at

the 512 kbps rate setting.

Wide-angle, high-sensitivity

camera with IR function

The IR capable camera improves

the quality of images recorded at

night. The wide angle lens ensures

that a wider area is covered.

File recording

Video and audio files are recorded

on the P2 card using a compressed

format (MPEG4 and G.726).

In addition, meta data such as

recording date and time, recording

trigger and other information can

also be recorded.

File playback and archiving

Recorded files can be played back

on a desktop computer.

Recorded files can also be

uploaded to an archival server via a

LAN based network. (A specified

application software running on a

computer is required.)
