Overview
The Sony HSR-X216/X209P/X216P Digital
Surveillance Recorder is a digital video recorder that
records images of high picture quality from
surveillance video cameras for extended periods.
Images are recorded on the built-in hard disk, and you
can achieve high-quality recording/playback without
worrying about the recording time and durability of
cassette tapes as you would with a recorder using
videocassettes.
The differences among the HSR-X216, HSR-X209P,
and HSR-X216P models are described clearly in the
manual. For anything not mentioned, the operating
procedure of these models is the same.
