Philips TL24A5T User manual

The Philips and TL24A5T 24hr Time
Lapse Recorder (TLR) introduces
state-of-the-art audio and video quality
plus many easy-to-use features that
can be used with any security
application including banking,
educational, industrial, retail, and
medical installations. The TLR has
excellent resolution picture and
superb still picture quality, with no
wavering for the best possible picture
display.
Specifically designed with surveillance
and security in mind, the TL24A5T
TLR offer three picture quality modes
(2, 12 and 24 hour recording) to
enable the appropriate balance
between picture quality and recording
time depending on the application: fully
automatic recording at user defined
time intervals, manual recording, time-
lapse or event alarm recording. Event
alarm can be activated by alarm
contact.
In the playback mode the user can
either quickly select individual images
by using time/date or alarm search, or
easily browse through by using the jog
shuttle. Turbo drive technology
provides high speed rewind (a T-120
minute tape is rewound in about
65 seconds).
The alarm memory enables display of
7 alarms on the display monitor and
allows the user to rewind to the
selected alarm. Other important
features of the TLR include
superimposed on-screen display for
monitoring cameras while checking
VCR display; built-in timer with up to
seven programmable options;
automatic picture control to ensure no
more tracking problems; automatic
head cleaning for maintenance free
operation; auto repeat recording, with
an end-of-tape alarm, warning the user
that the tape is about to start over-
recording; screw terminal on the back
of the unit for camera control and
alarm inputs; security lock; and power
failure protection to recall alarms.
For reliable CCTV recording, the
TL24A5T Time Lapse Recorder
provides the system capability, quality,
and ease of operation needed for
