This time lapse VCR is designed especially for industrial, educational and security recording. In addition to ordinary 3-hour recording
mode, it has time lapse modes that allow recording of 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168, 240, 360, 480, 720 or 960 hours. Also, the recording
time can be extended up to 27,000 hours (for E-180 cassette tape) if you choose one-shot recording with 3 minutes interval time.
Frame-by-frame playback and high-speed playback of longer recordings are also available. This adds up to a powerful surveillance
system for banks, buildings, traffic and parking lots, as well as a convenient scientific tool for observation of plant growth, animal
behaviour and other time-intensive processes.
