INSTALLATION
PRE-INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
Provide secure power to system components. Prevent overloading or shorting by
dedicating power circuits to the surveillance equipment. Restrict access to the
surveillance system circuit breakers, switches, and equipment power cords.
If you need to record multiple cameras, a multiplexer is required.
Surveillance system components must be operationally compatible. Time-lapse
recording speeds and dwell times of any accessory switching equipment must be
compatible with each other.
The TLR3096 Time-Lapse VCR provides multiple alarm recording speeds so it is
important that alarm triggering of components be operationally compatible. Refer to the
Introduction To Time-Lapse Recorders
section for information on time-lapse recording.
Complete all system hookups (cameras, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the VCR in
a location where you cannot access its rear panel.
SECURING THE VCR CONTROLS
Protect surveillance equipment to forestall tampering. We recommend putting the recorder
in a secure VCR cabinet. Pelco offers such units—the RM2001, which is a rack kit for a
single VCR.
MONITOR TIPS
Pelco recommends using a CCTV monitor.
Some monitors may cause picture vibration or picture distortion at the top or bottom of
the image during still or normal playback. (Refer to the
Vertical Adjustment
section for
information.)
•A television may be unable to provide a stable picture without vibration or distortion.
