Can this be used to make a wired remote wireless with the right adapters? I've got a TRRS remote for a portable recorder that I'd like to be able to make wireless and extend the range of, but it also relies on a small amount of power from the recorder.

It didn't work at all for me, and there's no instructions on how to operate the extention wire.

As far as I know there is no place to plug anything into it to use it as a power supply. I have a standard remote that is powered by batteries.

I do not think these can be used with a *wired* remote. It accepts an *infrared (IR)* signal at the transmitter, and then outputs the IR signal at the receiver. To use your wired remote, you would need something that would convert the [electrical] signal running through your remote control's wire into an IR signal output. On the power issue: the transmitter and receiver components each require 5 volt input and draw current at a rate of 1000 mA per hour. They do not serve as a source of electrical power, and therefore do not output any electricity. You would need a separate, outboard battery to power the remote control device.

No! It only works with remotes that are in simc with the device you are connecting it to. It defeats the purpose if you are using a wires remote!

It should work, I have my transmitters linked to the video remote windows and am able to use the IR remote in separate rooms.

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

There is nothing built in the dvr that would do it but there may be something you can buy from another company to connect to the network port but I have not checked into it. I will say that the wired network port is very stable and we use several of these in an industrial setting and have never had trouble accessing the DVR over the network when we need it. You would need to see if there is some wireless adapter somebody sells that can convert the network port to wireless but I do not know if they exist as I have never looked.

the part that makes the connection to the camera is a mini usb and the port on my fuji is a micro usb, so it wasn't compatible. i even tried using adapters and it still didn't work. i have yet to find a wireless remote for mine.

you need to have a "c" wire (24V power from the transformer) to power the wireless network (redlink) - you can't connect to any remote accessories without that.

Holly, After I bought one of these units, I searched all over the place, including talking to someone at 3M and the answer I got was that they made a remote for this unit, but it is no longer available. I have not been able to find one after an extensive search on Amazon, EBay, and several dozen tech equipment places, including several that are authorized 3M dealers. If you find 2, I'd love to get one! :) I have used it hooked up to a laptop (and that was an adventure as well!) and use a standard laptop remote I got from Office Depot.

If your camera/camcorder records in stereo, this should work but you'll need a special "Y" cord to connect it. The cord needs to take 1/8" female mono (times 2 for Left and Right) and then combine them into a "stereo" male plug that goes into the camera. You can have 2 units for interviews and one will go to the left channel and the other to the right. I've done this several times and it works great. Actually, I use a wired mic and the wireless. You just need to make sure if you use 2 wireless mics that they operate on their own frequencies. The "Y" cord was hard to find but I think HOSA makes one.

It is possible, I purchased two and paired them together to make a tethered camera trigger into a wireless trigger. As I have never used them for music I can't say how good the audio quality is, but two of these will work paired together. Just set one on TX and the other on RX and hold in the power button on both for 3-5 seconds. One will link red and blue and the other will blink blue only, after a few seconds they will stop blinking and they are paired

Yes sound recording does work and the remote device works great. It does work with the power cord and both the camera and remote are rechargeable. The remote has battery factory installed so you don't need to remove the battery. Just plug the adapter into it and charge it for about 8 hrs. The same goes for the camera but you can remove the battery . The camera battery resembles a cellphone battery. Make sure you charge the camera's battery for about 8 hrs the first time. I have set my camera up on motion detect and let it go for about 12 hrs and it still could have ran for a few more . Make sure you read the instructions very well so you don't have any difficulties. Have fun ! I bought about 6 of these cameras and love using them.

Hey tick, my camera's are hard wired, which means I have to power them up with a 12v power supply (which was included). The wireless systems, a battery will be the power for the camera, and the base unit for most will be your 12v power supply or however the manufacturer sets the system up with. Basically with electronics is if its doing something, it needs power to do it. Same like us, we need food. However technology today uses alternate energy, but I'm getting off course so I'll end here. Hope I answered your question.The systemas a whole, I feel I got a lotta bang for the buck without spending a thousand. Zmodo support is excellent.

Yes. I'm using it for wireless. You may have to put an adapter on the video cord where you connect the receiver to the recorder.

Next Generation Remote Control Extender I use the above device to recharge my battery. Open door on bottom of unit and it recharges these batteries. Why do you buy this battery without the extender?????? It is what it is made for. Unsure why you are buying radio frequency battery for remote control of TV, VCR or anything from another room. I use mine to change Directv channels from bedroom without having a receiver or DVR unit in the bedroom.

found this post when looking up what this thing i found was...It sounds like what you need. Sony wireless Transeiver. I see its a year later but let me know if you still need this.

If it's IR you should be able to get it to work. Will not work if the controller is RF.

I have a plug in wired accessory made by Sony that has controls for record and zoom connected to a mini tripod and colapsable carrying handle. The handle's attachment is plastic and can't handle even a light led light accessory without titlting against the weight, and wouldn't recommend it for the price.Remote or not, this has been a great quality little camcorder if you can find it used or for a good price.Hope you find the solution you are looking for.I am assuming a similar wired remote that has some length has to be out there too, I don't know about a wireless remote option but there could be one.

I recommend contacting Wheely Bird, but I'm sure some kind of wire extension can be made. However for a few more dollars, they have q wireless remote.
