Abstract
With a time lapse recording/reproducing device for applying time lapse recording/reproducing processing to a video image signal gained through a video surveillance system and the like, a recording control unit ( ) performs controlling by giving directions so that a signal obtained by applying picture compression processing to an inputted video signal in a picture compression/expansion circuit ( ) provided with a means for intra, frame picture compression/expansion processing is recorded on rigid platters of a hard disk driver ( ) as a moving picture and at the same time the foregoing signal is recorded intermittently on an optical disk of an optical disk driver ( ), and, when an alarm signal is inputted, the foregoing signal is recorded on the rigid platters for a predetermined period of time as a moving picture and then has the recording operation ended, thus realizing a time lapse recording/reproducing device, whereby recorded moving pictures of the scenes just before and after the time when an alarm signal is inputted and also intermittently recorded pictures covering a long period can be obtained.
