This time lapse VCR is designed especially for industrial, educational and security recording. In addition to ordinary 3-hour
and 6-hour recording modes, it has time lapse modes that allow recording of 18, 72 or 96 hours. 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.
