NTRODUCTION
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.

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.
