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, timelapse 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 overrecording; 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 continuous, dependable service.
