Observe the following WARNINGS before installing and using this product. Follow
all warnings and instructions marked on the VCR.
Instructions
Read all the safety and operating instructions before operating the VCR. Keep the
instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions. Heed all
warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions.
Installation/Servicing
Installation and servicing should be done by qualified service personnel only and
conform to all local codes. Do not try to service this VCR yourself. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service person-
nel under the following conditions:
1. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
2. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the VCR.
3. If the VCR does not operate normally when following the operating instruc-
tions.
Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may cause damage and will often require exten-
sive work by a qualified technician to restore the VCR to normal operation.
4. If the VCR was dropped or the cabinet damaged.
5. When the VCR shows a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need
for service.
Replacement Parts
Be sure the service technician uses only replacement parts Pelco recommends, or
which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions may cause fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repair to the VCR, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine whether it is in safe operating condition.
Water/Moisture/Condensation
Do not use this VCR near water. It is designed for indoor use only and must not be
installed where exposed to rain and moisture.
Do not place objects containing water, such as drinks, on top of the VCR.
If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming a cold
room or after moving it from a cold location to a warm one), condensation may form
on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. To prevent damage to the VCR
or tapes, plug the VCR into theAC outlet and turn the power on for about two hours.
Do not play back or record on the VCR during this time.
Condensation is likely to occur when:
1. The VCR is moved from a cold room to a warm room or from outdoors to
indoors.
2. A cold room is heated quickly.
3. The humidity is very high.
Avoid using the VCR where cold air (such as from an air conditioner) will blow
directly on it.

Pelco Manual C649M (7/99)
Cleaning
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent and water.
Wipe dry. NEVER USE PETROLEUM-BASED SOLUTIONS.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Pelco as they may cause hazards.
Accessories
Do not place the VCR on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The VCR
may fall, seriously injuring a person or damaging the equipment. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by Pelco, or sold with the VCR.
Follow Pelco’s instructions when mounting equipment, and use a mounting acces-
sory recommended by Pelco.
Use care when moving equipment on a cart. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may overturn the VCR and cart combination.
Do Not Place Anything Heavy On The VCR
Heavy objects placed on the VCR will cause damage.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation and ensure reliable operation
of the VCR and protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings.
Never place the VCR near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place it in a
built-in installation such as a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or Pelco’s
instructions have been followed. There are many ventilation holes on the bottom of
the VCR—for maximum ventilation, place it on a hard level surface only.
Power Sources
Operate this VCR only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are unsure of the type of power supply, consult your equipment dealer
or local power company.
Grounding or Polarization
This VCR is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug—a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. This plug only fits into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace
the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Power Cord Protection
WARNING: The in-
cluded power cord is
used for 120 VAC, 60
Hz. Never connect to
any outlet or power sup-
ply having a different
voltage or frequency.
Do not damage the power cord; it may cause fire or shock hazard. Route the power
cord so it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it.
Pay particular attention to the cord at the wall plug or convenience receptacle and
the point where it connects to the VCR. When unplugging the power cord, grasp
the plug and remove it carefully.
Lightning/Power Surges
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet for its added protection during a lightning
storm or when it is unused for long periods. This prevents damage to the VCR from
lightning and power line surges. Pelco recommends using conditioned-output
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and/or surge protected outlets to maximize
protection of the VCR.
When Not In Use
When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn off the
power.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this increases the risk of fire
and electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the VCR through openings. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. It can also cause extensive damage to the mechanism. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the VCR.

2.0 OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION TO TIME-LAPSE RECORDERS
Time-lapse recording permits longer than ordinary recording times. The primary
reason for using time-lapse recording in a CCTV security system is that a single
VCR tape can be used for an extended period of time beyond the standard record-
ing time. The following explains how time-lapse recording works.
The actual recording on VCRs is a series of still pictures or fields. Standard con-
sumer VHS recorders store 60 fields (30 frames) per second. A T-120 cassette
lasts just two hours in this mode (SP mode). You can get slightly longer recording
times (six hours) using the extended recording mode (EP mode). You can record
even longer on a T-160 cassette in these modes: two hours and 40 minutes in SP
mode and eight hours in EP mode. (Refer to the table in Section 8.1.1 for actual
recording times in different modes.)
Time-lapse VCRs, however, use microprocessor-based techniques to record fewer
fields per second than a normal VHS machine and extend recording time. This
negates the need to change the tape every two hours—and also substantially re-
duces viewing time when the recording is played back, another important consider-
ation.
In normal VCR operation, all video head scans (60 per second) are recorded. But in
time-lapse mode the tape runs more slowly and records pictures periodically. In 12-
hour mode, a normal time-lapse machine records 10 fields per second, and in 24-
hour mode, it stores just five fields per second (for up to 12 and 24 hours on a tape,
respectively). Longer times are possible by slowing the recording rate further.
At normal speed a picture is recorded every 1/60 of a second so there is little
change over five frames. In longer time-lapse modes, however, a field is recorded
intermittently over a longer period of time so changes are apparent from field to
field.
The time-lapse recording can be played back at normal two-hour tape speed, which
makes for rapid review—one of the time-lapse recorder’s most important advan-
tages. Action on the tape, however, appears faster than normal.
As an advanced feature, time-lapse recorders (like the TLR2168S) can automati-
cally switch from time-lapse to real-time recording when an alarm condition occurs.
This is important since the primary purpose of recording an event is identification,
and real-time recording provides more detail.
2.2 TLR2168S FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
The TLR2168S time-lapse video recorder is a powerful surveillance tool designed
for industrial and security recording. In addition to ordinary two-hour (SP – standard
play) and six-hour (EP – extended play) recording modes, its time-lapse modes
permit recording of 18, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, or 168 hours. (Linear modes are desig-
nated as L18H and L24H.) You can extend recording up to 64,800 hours (for T-120
tape) using one-shot recording with a three-minute time interval. The TLR2168S
features frame-by-frame playback and high-speed playback of longer recordings. It
is a six-head machine that can play back tapes recorded on virtually any VCR.
Audio Recording–Audio recorded in 2H, 6H, or L(inear)18H, L24H mode is played
back only in its respective mode.
Resolution And Image Quality—This VCR has a high-quality circuit allowing
more than 330 lines in B/W (black and white) recording and more than 300 lines in
color recording in normal VHS mode. S-VHS ET and S-VHS mode resolution is
even higher at more than 400 lines.
S-VHS Mode—This mode has higher resolution and picture quality than normal
VHS mode when using S-VHS tape (over 400 lines).
Pelco Manual C649M (7/99)
9
S-VHS ET Mode—This mode, using VHS tape, has picture quality closer to
S-VHS recording (over 400 lines).
High Density Recording - H·D<EP>–High density recording records three
times more fields than normal density (SP). It reduces the time interval between
pictures and makes for smoother time-lapse recording.
Tape Remaining Indicator–A bar indicator shows how much tape is left and/
or that the tape has approximately three minutes (in 2H mode) left.
Automatic Head Cleaning–The VCR automatically removes foreign matter
from the heads when a cassette is inserted for continuous smooth operation.
Easy Setup Using A Monitor–The on-screen menus simplify setup program-
ming. You can select these menus even without inputting a video signal.
Easy Cueing With Alarm Recording–Index signals are automatically added
at the beginning of alarm recording for easy cueing. You can confirm alarm starting
time in the playback video on the monitor or in the alarm list on the Maintenance
menu.
Time And Date Search System–You can search for a specific hour/minute
and date to accurately locate an image on tape.
External Time Clock Adjustment–You can reset the on-screen clock to the
nearest hour by applying a signal to the RST (reset) IN terminal at the rear of the
VCR.
Record Check–You can confirm correct recording by pressing the PLAY button
during recording.
Automatic Head Azimuth Selection–The VCR can automatically select play-
back heads for normal VHS-compatible time-lapse recordings, or older time-lapse
recordings made using two same-azimuth video heads. Same-azimuth time-lapse
recordings use VHS cassettes but cannot be played normally by VHS-compatible
VCRs.
Special Playback Features–These include still images, speed search, re-
verse playback, frame-by-frame viewing in both directions, slow-motion, and high-
speed viewing.
JOG Dial/SHUTTLE Ring–You can use these controls to search for the desired
image. You can adjust the playback speed with the SHUTTLE ring and search for
an image frame-by-frame with the JOG dial.
Recording Options–This versatile system offers a variety of recording options,
including daily and weekly timer recording, repeat, and alarm recording.
Protection Against Power Failures—Recording data (including date, time,
and timer setup) is stored in backup memory, so the system can resume recording
after a power failure. The monitor displays the time of the failure.
NOTE: The battery backup is for
memory only–the VCR does not
continue recording if the power
goes out. If you want to keep re-
cording during an outage, make
sure the VCR system is on your
UPS (uninterruptible power supply)
system.
Digital <ELAPSED TIME> Display–The elapsed time of recording and play-
back is stored in non-volatile memory. You can use the elapsed time display as a
guide to when to do periodic maintenance.
Tape Use Counter–This counter displays how many times you have recorded
on a tape. This helps you decide when you need to replace a tape.
Daylight Saving Time Setting–A daylight saving time setting is available. You
can set the clock forward an hour by programming the menu.

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 PRE-INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
1. Provide secure power to system components. Prevent overloading or short-
ing by dedicating power circuits to the surveillance equipment. Restrict ac-
cess to the surveillance system circuit breakers, switches, and equipment power
cords.
2. 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.
3. The TLR2168S time-lapse VCR provides several alarm recording speeds so it
is important that alarm triggering of components be operationally compatible.
Refer to Section 2.1 for information on time-lapse recording.
4. Complete all system hookups (camera, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the
VCR in a location where you cannot access its rear panel.
4.1.1 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 RM2000, which is a
rack kit for a single VCR, and the RM2004, which is a rack kit for four VCRs.
4.1.2 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 Section 9.4.3 for
information.)
A television may be unable to provide a stable picture without vibration or distortion.
4.2 INSTALLATION
1. Remove the VCR and all cables from the box.
2. Place the VCR in a suitable location.
•
•
If the location is unsecured, refer to Section 4.1.1 for information about
products to lock up the VCR.
Do all system hookups (camera, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the
VCR in a location where you cannot access its rear panel,
3. If installing in a rack, place the VCR in the rack before making cable and
power connections. Refer to the documentation included with the rack kit for
specific installation instructions.
4. If you are not using a switcher, refer to Figure 1.
•
•
•
Connect the camera (video output) to the rear of the VCR (video input
BNC). Connect the VCR (video output BNC) to the monitor (video input).
Connect the alarm input to the VCR (SET IN and GND [ground] termi-
nals).

NOTES:
•
The VCR writes an hour index mark on the tape on the hour, which it
uses as a reference when searching. Because of this, a recorded
tape must pass a time clock hour mark before this function can work.
The time date search function begins after the first hour index mark.
Example 1:
Example 2:
The VCR is set to record from 8:30 to 17:30. Times
from 9:00 to 17:30 can be found.
The VCR is set to record in one speed from 7:00 to
14:30, then in another speed until 18:00. Times from
7:00 to 14:30 and 15:00 to 18:00 can be found.
•
The time and date search function only works for tapes recorded on
this model VCR.
If the recording quality is poor, the VCR may fail to locate the desired part
of the tape during a time date search.

7.0 LOADING/UNLOADING/PROTECTING THE TAPE CASSETTE
You can load video cassette tapes into your VCR as long as it is plugged into a
power source. Loading a cassette automatically turns the VCR on even if its power
switch is turned off. Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS.
Use only standard grade VHS cassette tapes for reliable video recording. Do not
use Pro, Hi-Fi, and High Grade tapes–they may damage the video heads.
Do not use a T-160 or ST-160 tape when recording in 48H – 168H or 0H modes.

7.2 UNLOADING
1. Press the EJECT button on the front of the VCR.
2. Remove the cassette.
NOTE: The VCR will eject a video
cassette even if it is in STANDBY
mode. When you press the EJECT
button, the VCR will automatically
turn on, eject the tape, and turn off.
You cannot eject a tape while record-
ing without first pressing the STOP
button, or while the VCR is locked.
7.3 PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
Video cassettes come with an erasure prevention tab. When it is removed it stops
the tape’s contents from being erased or recorded over. The VCR will automatically
eject a cassette if you try to record over it with the erasure prevention tab removed.
NOTE: We recommend taking
any torn or broken cassette tape
requiring repair only to profession-
als who specialize in such proce-
dures. The adhesives on many
common types of tape could dam-
age the head on the VCR.

8.0 RECORDING
8.1 MANUAL RECORDING
1. Load a cassette with the erasure prevention tab intact.
2. Set the S-VHS switch to on or off.
NOTES:
•
Press the PAUSE/SHUTTLE
HOLD button to momentarily
stop recording. Press the but-
ton again to resume recording.
3. Press the REC/PLAYMODE buttons (+/-) to select the desired recording mode.
If necessary, change the recording mode, as follows:
•
NORMAL <SP> – Choose SP (standard play) when a higher picture qual-
ity is desired. With this setting, the recording time mode is switched in
the following order: 2H, L24H, 48H, 72H, 96H, 120H, 168H, 0H, 2H.
•
To protect the tape, the pause
mode is automatically re-
leased after about five min-
utes.
•
H•D<EP> – Select the EP (extended play) setting to make high density
recordings. This provides three times more fields than normal density
(SP). It reduces the time interval between pictures, providing more pic-
tures for smoother time-lapse recording. With this setting, the recording
time mode is switched in the following order: 6H, L18H, 48H, 72H, 96H,
120H, 168H, 0H, 6H.
•
•
The REC button will not func-
tion unless the tape is in the
stop or pause mode.
4. Set VIDEO MODE in the First Time Set Up menu for either color or black and
white recording. (Do not connect color and black and white cameras together.)
If the cassette you insert in the
VCR has the erasure preven-
tion tab removed, the VCR will
automatically eject it if you try
to record on it.
5. To record the day and present time, display the day and present time on the
monitor. (If you are not using a switcher and the time/date do not appear on
the monitor and you want them to be recorded on the tape, you must turn
them on using the VCR’s menu system. If you already have time/date sup-
plied by a switcher, you will probably not want them turned on via the VCR’s
menu.)
•
Both 2-hour (SP) and 6-hour
(EP) tapes are VHS compat-
ible with other VCRs. Time-
lapse recordings can be
played correctly by other VHS-
compatible time-lapse record-
ers when the recording inter-
val and head type (SP/EP)
matches the recording.
6. Press the REC button to begin recording.
7. Press the STOP button to stop recording.

8.1.2 Record Check Function
When the VCR is recording, press the PLAY button for more than 1.5 seconds and
then release. The tape rewinds a little and then plays back the recording just made.
When the tape reaches the spot where you pressed the PLAY button, the VCR
returns to record mode.
8.1.3 Audio Recording
Either apply the specified line input signal to the AUDIO IN connector or connect
the microphone to the MIC IN jack. If both are connected, the microphone is given
priority.
Normal sound is played back only when a tape recorded in 2H, 6H, L18H, or L24H
mode is played back in its respective mode.
The longer the recording time mode, the worse the sound quality becomes. In L18H
and L24H modes, the sound quality is such that speech can be heard.
8.1.4 Repeat Recording
WhenTAPE END on the First Time Set Up menu is set to REPEATor ALARM•PROT
and the repeat recording mode is set (the REPEAT indicator is lit), the tape will
automatically rewind to the start when the end of the tape is reached. Recording
will begin again.

8.1.7 Synchronous Recording
Several camera images can be mixed together through a camera switcher and
then recorded separately onto several VCRs. To do so, assign a camera to each
VCR. The VCR records only the camera image assigned to it. This allows recording
without gaps.
If you have three VCRs, the video signals from the three cameras can be recorded
separately by connecting the switcher as shown in Figure 21.

power failure or if the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet. Presets re-
main in memory for a maximum of 31 days provided the VCR has been connected
to AC power for at least 40 hours per week. Connection charges the battery backup.
NOTE: The backup is for memory
only–the VCR will not continue re-
cording during a power outage un-
less connected to a UPS.
Check the time if there has been a power failure or if the power cord has been
disconnected from AC power for a prolonged period.

11.0 TESTING
11.1 INITIAL SYSTEM TESTING
Before using the newly-installed surveillance system, do the following:
•
•
•
Make test recordings at the time-lapse speeds you will be using. Test how the
system performs with alarms.
Interrupt electrical power to check your installed power backup system (if ap-
plicable).
On playback, verify picture quality and that you can see the time/date display
under normal and alarm conditions.
11.2 REGULAR SYSTEM TESTING
Every day check that the system is operating. Is the REC indicator lit? Does the
COUNTER display indicate movement? Does the monitor show proper camera
sequencing and time/date information?
Check for recorded alarms. Multiple alarms could make the tape run out early.
Make sure there is enough tape to record at least five minutes of alarm activity at
the selected speed.
Regularly verify picture quality and operation under normal and alarm conditions.
Play a tape recorded recently under normal conditions, which also includes an
alarm condition that you triggered manually.
