video recorders
VHS playback devices
Video recorders are devices that capture and store video signals for later playback.
The term covers various technologies across decades: reel-to-reel tape machines used by broadcasters, VCRs that recorded onto cassettes, and digital video recorders (DVRs) that store content on hard drives.
I set the video recorder to capture the game while I was at work.
