rapid 0 Posted October 23, 2006 I'm surprised you can't find them locally? Perhaps some of the guys from UK can help you. No more VHS tapes!....is this the end of analog? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kensplace 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Never tried this company, but they sell 10 to 12 hour tapes (on long play, which should be 5 to 6 hours standard play) http://www.vt.tv/vhs_cctv_tapes/c/57.html Remember the longer the tape the thinner it is and the more likely it is to wear out faster. It may be worth looking into a dvr or pc based system, that way you would no longer need tapes, and would get much longer recording times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vf702 0 Posted October 24, 2006 I looked at longer tapes before going with DVR's. The 10-12 hour tapes were significantly more expensive than standard length tapes. I stayed with 8 hour tapes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooperman 0 Posted October 28, 2006 What are VHS tapes? They're like Philips V2000 but you can't turn them over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sodagar 0 Posted November 23, 2006 VHS systems are slowly going out of the market, using a 6hrs tape is not good as the tape is so thin that it will not last for long. If your recorder has a feature of long play, then continue with a 3hrs tape that will give 6hrs of recording. If not you can buy another recorder with long play feature,its a cheeper solution as compared to the DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
