American Dynamics ADV096HD User Manual

The ADV096HD High-Density Time-Lapse VCR

produces the clear, crisp images that effective

surveillance requires. The unit provides up to 96

hours of time-lapse recording and up to 24

hours of virtual real-time recording.

Onscreen programming allows for simplified

setup of features such as advanced time and

date search, timer recording and alarm

recording.

In high-density mode, the VCR can record up to

400 lines of horizontal resolution. The result is

smoother recording with more detailed images.

The easy-to-use Time and Date Search enables

you to play back specific alarms and events.

Alarm Recording designates the speed at which

the VCR will record; faster speeds yield

increased information.

The unit’s versatile shuttle dial allows for a

variety of playback options including fast

forward/reverse play, forward/reverse

fieldplayback and still field.

The VCR offers automatic startup after power

failure when power is restored, and automatic

daylight savings auto-switcher.
