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.
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.
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.
