What a great video recorder.
This is a TOP choice for professionals/ installers who know the
differences and have a need for a high quality, easy to use analog
recording system. More reliable and packed with more features in
comparison to similar looking VCRs, most of which are lower resolution
and are poorly engineered. Too many in our industry are advertising
their VCR units with misleading buzzwords, often with no regard
for the quality, long-term reliability or practical features of
the unit itself.
Highest resolution recording
available for analog VCRs. High bandwidth, high density recording
is 350 lines BW/ 300 color versus most VCRs (consumer and security)
which feature only 240 lines color/ 280 lines BW. For a single camera,
even a relatively high resolution one- most people wouldn't notice
a great deal of difference. Multiple camera applications is where
the line differences are much more noticeable, as more video data
is being 'compacted' onto the screen.
Features ALARM input
port (like a simple speaker input) to interface with physical switches
such as door contact switches and- more often- passive infrared
PIR motion sensors which have "N.O." (normally open) circuit
and a nominal voltage. Recording can be set ONLY when activated
by NO switch- and then for your preset amount of time before it
stops. This allows user to record only when activity is present.
Or you can also record continuously with its 'endless loop' record
feature, though you will lose previous video when recorded over
(can also be set to STOP when tape is full).
Features EVENT titling
which allows user to overlay information onto videotape including
actual time + date and even to 'name' the camera or activity. Perfect
for those who want to maximize their evidence ability- or those
who need accurate archiving of video.
This works perfectly
when used with ANY of our cameras. VCR-5 also has both MIC (microphone
or mic level') and LINE-LEVEL (standard RCA) audio input ports and
works great when used with our AM-1 microphone.
This VCR has a (now included
free) wireless IR remote control, but also great faceplate controls,
including the JOG/ SHUTTLE DIAL feature which allows user dynamic
ability to view between individual frames on playback, as well as
quickly reverse and fast forward with accuracy and ease, even to
preset points.
Common Applications:
•Residential &
commercial security
•Often used in conjunction with a multiplexer or quad processor
•Used in conjunction with PIR motion detectors and other types
of switches for 'action-only' recording
Available Options:
Handheld wireless
IR remote control included FREE with each #VCR-5 ordered.
FREE bonus accessory
package includes RCA-BNC video plug adapters & RCA audio + video
cables.
We stock both T-160 (required
for listed realtime ability) and even the rare T-200 tapes which
can run even longer!
Variations /
Alternate Equipment to Consider:
We also carry an AWESOME
40 hour realtime #VCR-2 (@$299.95) which is lower resolution but
also has time/ date and alarm features + is 12 volts DC capable
for mobile vehicle use.
If you're shopping for
VCRs, you really must consider our line of stable and reliable digital
video recorders (DVR).
