A video recorder is the foundation of all Surveillance cameras. We have video recorders that can be concealed on a person's body. Real time video recorders that can record for up to 40 hours. Real action VCR's that have both real time as well as time lapse recording modes and time lapse video recorders that can record up to 960 hours or 40 days on a standard videocassette tape.
Event recorders are also available for alarm input video recording.
Event recorders are generally used in conjunction with motion detectors and alarm sensors that only engage recording when it receives a triggered signal. Without a reliable video recorder specific to your application, a surveillance camera will not be able to answer the mystery of what really happened. This DC video event recorder can record up to 10 hours on EP mode. It has automatic tape repeat and automatic power on when triggered. It can be powered by a car adapter, battery pack, or wall plug.
