Can this camera be used with a VCR, what cables are used, if that is possible.

I bought this......VideoSecu 100 Feet Video Power BNC RCA Cable for CCTV Security Cameras 1JE.....$13 on Amazon & I easily hooked it up to my VCR.

The cable that I purchased has a BNC connector and a RCA jack adapter. I run the RCA jack into my aux in port on my TV. It could just as easily be connected to a video recorder. I am planning on getting another camera and will tie them into a video recorder.

Yes. It will connect directly to an old VCR or any TV with an RCA (yellow) input. You WILL need a BNC to RCA adapter though to change the shape of the plug. That will only handle a single camera however. The reason people use DVRs, is because it will record multiple cameras at the same time.

I am using it successfully to hook up an S-video microscope camera to my computer. I would not recommend it for a DVD/VCR it does not carry the audio signal. There are other ones that do.

No. Stop looking for a 8mm adapter, there are none. 8mm film is too small to play in your vcr and it would be much to expensive for the consumer if a company developed one. your only alternative is to hook up your 8mm camera to your vcr by rca cable and either watch or record to a blank vhs tape. Simple, cheap and it works.

This would be a poor use of this DVR. Your VHS signal is standard definition and the only thing this DVR is particularly good at is high definition. Any files recorded from your VCR could be backed up to USB flash memory, but writing them onto disk might prove tricky and you'd need an additional computer and additional know how.

Hi David, You will use the A/V connecting cable for this camcorder to be connected to your VCR. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

Ok, that's good to know; but not having a cable box sucks. I should probably do a VCR setup as someone else suggested.

You'll need a camera that can play / record from / to miniDV tapes. Then you just have to interface that camera from its cable source (usb or firewire) to the computers input; with some sort of capture software. It isn't so easy as newer cameras that have hdd / flash drives, since the tapes don't store 'files' so to speak. Sorry you lost the camera.

If it is like the one I have; it is only a player; I think you can record from the tv to a vhs tape; I am not sure; try it and see what happens; but I have only used mine for a player.

I'm afraid not. I bought the VCR to do VHS digitization on my computer, but found that the S-VHS output is only for the DVD player. The out from the VCR is standard composite video.

It can use Coax cable in and out like the older style VCR's. Not sure if it has RCA connectors. I am using a universal remote for it in my case no remote was provided.

You can either connect the camcorder to a computer using IEEE wire, I think they used to call it fire wire, and is the wire with a smaller connection than USB. Or you can use the other cables with the red, white and yellow ends and connect to a dvd or vhs recorder. All the wires come with the camcorder. The same wires you would use to connect to a tv to watch your tapes on the tv. You can access the owners manual for instruction at I think the Sony Support web site.

Prof. Whitebread: Yes, you can hook up a VCR and record VHS tapes to DVD with this recorder. I transferred all my VHS movies (all that were not copy-protected) to DVD using this recorder. You can apparently do some editing too, although I have not tried this. You can read all about it on the downloadable owner's manual in PDF, available at this URL: http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-images/models/dr570/docs/dr570_om_e.pdf

Doubt that this will work for you. I assume you are trying to play your VCR and record on the DVD of your laptop? The VGA port on your laptop is an Output, so you cannot feed from the VCR into your VGA port of your laptop.

Sure, not a problem. Just run cables from the video, left and right audio outputs on the back of your VCR to their respective inputs on the DVD Recorder.

No you can NOT. This converts HDMI to AV (yellow video port), not the other way around. They make a separate converter that does AV (yellow, red, and white VCR connections) to HDMI. That's what you would want if you are connecting a VCR to an HDTV. Just make sure it says "AV to HDMI" and not the other way around. This product works very well, I would assume their other converters work just as well.

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery. I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD. That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.

This device come with three RCA jacks- white, yellow, and red. You need to attach these connectors to your VCR via a separately purchased set of wires.. The wire is NOT included for this. Then the device itself plugs into a USB port.
