Cautions and
Warnings
This product can be used in a mercantile bank to provide positive visual identification
of suspects by recording surveillance video camera images and time and date information onto permanent magnetic media (video tape). The time-lapse video cassette
recorder and all other components of the surveillance system must be properly
installed, tested, and maintained to fulfill this function. Carefully follow the instructions presented here and elsewhere in the manual.
High resolution time-lapse recording requires high quality tape for satisfactory
performance. The following brands meet the manufacturer’s critical specifications:
• GYYR
• BASF
• MAXELL
• TDK
Precautionary
Installation Steps
Regular System
Testing
1. Secure surveillance equipment to prevent unauthorized access.
2. Supply secure power to all system components. Dedicate power circuits to
surveillance equipment to prevent overloading or shorting the circuits. Limit
access to the surveillance system circuits breakers, switches, and equipment
power cords.
3. Ensure all surveillance system components are operationally compatible. Dwell
times of any accessory switching equipment must be compatible with time lapse
recording speeds.
4. Carefully plan the alarm triggering of components to ensure compatible operation
(alarm hold, duration, sequencing, etc.) Alarms may be recorded at all speeds.
The 2 hour speed records more pictures, providing an increased chance of
capturing a subject’s face on tape. However, more tape will be used in the process.
There is a greater chance the video cassette will run out of tape, especially if alarms
occur frequently. The time-lapse speeds record fewer pictures, but can record
longer without tape changes. Because time-lapse recording methods are used, the
speed of the recording has no effect on image resolution.
5. Thoroughly test the completed surveillance system installation before use. Perform test recordings at the time-lapse speeds to be used and test system performance
under alarm conditions. Test any power backup system installed by interrupting
electrical power. Playback the test recordings to confirm the picture quality is
adequate and the time/date display is visible under both normal and alarm
conditions.
1. Check the operation of the surveillance system at least once a day. Verify tape
movement by watching the counter number increment. Check that the monitor
is displaying camera video with time date information, and that any camera
sequencing is working properly. Perform the REC CHECK (see page 19 for more
information) function and be sure that you see two separate, sequential playback
images on the monitor, approximately 1 second apart.
8
2. Check to see if any alarms have been recorded, since multiple alarms could cause
the video cassette to run out earlier than expected. There should always be
enough video tape remaining on the cassette to record at least 5 minutes of activity
at the selected alarm speed.
3. Perform the following tests on a regular basis: Playback a tape recently recorded
under normal conditions by the system to confirm picture quality. Manually
trigger an alarm condition to check for proper alarm mode operation. Play back
the alarm test recording to confirm operation and picture quality.
4. Use the manufacturer's recommended video tape and replace it regularly (10-15
passes maximum). Check tapes for head scarring and replace any damaged tapes.
Handle tapes carefully and store them in their boxes. Keep the tapes away from
dust, magnetic fields, excessive heat, and direct sunlight.

PART ONE: GETTING STARTED
If you have never used a time-lapse recorder system before, this section will explain
what you need to do to get started.
Besides your time-lapse recorder, you will need the following equipment:
• a video camera
• a monitor
• cables for the camera and monitor (typically these are coax cables with BNC connectors)
• a T-120 or T-130 VHS video tape. We recommend the following brands of tapes:
Gyyr, BASF, Maxell and TDK.
• power sources for the VCR, camera, and monitor.
Before connecting any piece of equipment to a power source, make the following
connections (consult page 17 of this manual for a diagram of these connections;
however, for this example, we will not connect an alarm panel as shown in the diagram.
You may also wish to consult the diagram of the VCR's Rear Panel on page 16):
• connect the camera to the VCR's Video In connector
• connect the monitor to the VCR's Video Out connector
• plug in all of your equipment to their power sources. This VCR unit connects into a
120 VAC wall outlet
• insert the video tape into the unit
Your monitor should now display your camera's image. You will also see a Time/Date
display on the monitor with its factory default setting. A flashing message will be
displayed: "Set Clock".
If you wish to program the Time/Date Display, see pages 22 -23 of this manual. A stepby-step description is covered in that section.
You will also notice that the letters "PL" are flashing in the Time/Date display. "PL"
stands for Power Loss. To remove "PL" from the display, simply press the Alarm Rest
button (see page 12 for more information). However, be aware as you learn about the
more advanced functions of your VCR, that pressing the Alarm Reset button will also
clear the alarm memory.
If you wish to display the VCR's On-Screen Menus, press the Prog. button. Information
about all the Programming Buttons is found on page 12 of this manual. Information
about the VCR's On-Screen Menus is found in Part 3 of this manual.
If you wish to learn more about the Front Panel Controls, you might begin with the
Play/Record Operation Controls. Information about these controls is found on page 11.
These controls are somewhat similar in operation to those of a home VCR.
As you are operating your recorder, keep an eye on the Digital Display (see pages 14
& 15 for more information) and become familiar with the various indicators. This
display will become invaluable as you become more comfortable with the operation of
your recorder.
If you have questions about the operation of this unit, contact your local dealer or call
one of the phone numbers listed on the back cover of this manual for expert assistance.
