INTRODUCTION |
|
The VCR Commander works with your X10 cameras and wireless motion sensors to record video on your VCR. When your motion sensor is activated and turns on a camera, the VCR Commander automatically starts your VCR and records the action. Your VCR will stop recording after five minutes of inactivity from the motion sensor. The VCR Commander turns your X10 cameras into a comprehensive video surveillance system.
This owner’s manual covers two models: VCR Commander, model UX21A; and VCR Commander II, model UX23A.
Before you start
Before you set up the VCR Commander make sure that your camera is set up and that you can record its picture on your VCR. If you have a wireless camera, the wireless video receiver’s video output should be connected into a Video In jack on your VCR. If you have a wired camera, it will be connected directly into the Video In jack on your VCR. Check your VCR’s manual for assistance.
BASIC SETUP
When you are setting up your VCR Commander, it’s important that you have all of the parts you need ready. During the set up process, you’ll need to follow the steps exactly as described, without waiting too long in between steps.
Make sure you have your VCR Commander, its power supply, its infrared emitter cable, a motion sensor, and your VCR’s remote control handy.
Important: the VCR Commander will not learn commands if the IR emitter cable is plugged in.
Connect the power supply (model D9100) to the VCR Commander and plug it into a wall outlet.
Remove the battery cover from your Motion Sensor. Put two AAA batteries in the motion sensor.
