The quickest and most convenient way to erase a CCTV recording on a tape is by using a bulk tape eraser. Bulk erasing a CCTV tape can take just 5 seconds, returning the tape back to its original condition, completely clear of any previous recordings. This also ensure the CCTV tape provides the best recording quality.
It is essential that a CCTV video recording is of the best quality if it is to be used for recognition or evidence purposes. Reusing CCTV tapes without proper erasing will result in poor quality reproduction on playback.
Bulk CCTV tape erasing will also ensure conformity with the latest Data Protection laws being introduced throughout Europe.
