for low cost video surveillance security systems. It can save you hundreds
of dollars by turning an inexpensive home VCR unit into a video event recorder;

OEM
Component:
We
offer the customised IC of the VCR commander to security camera manufacturers
for inclusion in the design of a security camera. This 20 pin IC with minimal
external circuitry enables a security camera which includes a PIR motion
detector to trigger a home VCR to automatically start recording the camera
picture in the event of an intrusion.
VCR
Commander "Turns an ordinary VCR into a real time video event recorder!"
Would
you like to have a security system that can do more than just sounding
a loud siren? If your home or office ever gets broken into, wouldn't you
like to have the intruder recorded on video tape? You think a system like
this is too expensive? Not any more!!
VCR
Commander is a smart solution for a low cost home or office video surveillance
project. If you are interested in monitoring and recording your home or
office for visitors or intruders you would need a time lapse VCR. This
will cost you hundreds of dollars. Can you use an ordinary VCR that you
probably already have at home or office?
Yes,
but one of the problems with using a normal home VCR is that only a few
hours of continuous video can be recorded on a tape. If you are away over
night or a weekend and start recording your camera you simply run out of
tape well before you are back. Even if you are away for a few hours you
probably do not want to watch a static screen for a few hours to see if
you had a visitor recorded on tape!! VCR Commander is the perfect solution
for all these problems.
What
does it do?
This
is a typical scenario: Some intruder enters a monitored area; a motion
detector triggers the VCR commander; which in turn starts your ordinary
VCR recording the scene. After about 30 seconds that the intruder has left,
the VCR commander stops your VCR recording. You get home and check your
VCR. There you have it!! Only the action that you are interested to see
is recorded on tape. You do not need to waste your time searching for it
in hours of recorded tape.
How
does it work?
VCR
Commander sends IR signals (same as your VCR remote controller) to control
your ordinary VCR in response to a dry contact input signal. It contains
a library of IR codes of most common VCRs. Just connect it to normally
open or normally closed contacts of virtually any detector device such
as a passive IR motion detector, a door and window sensor or any security
system. When triggered an alarm LED on the controller flashes. It then
sends an Infrared record command to the VCR. About 30 seconds after the
trigger is removed it sends a stop command to the VCR.
VCR
commander measures 44 x 71 x 22 mm and can be mounted on a wall in the
line of sight of the VCR. It includes a powerful IR blaster with a range
of up to 10 meters (30 feet). It works with 5 to 24 volts DC power supply.
