If connected to a VCR, will it record? If yes, can you use any VCR?

We have it connected to a digital DVR and it does record. Remember this unit only splits the signal from the cameras. So we use it to display on an extra monitor other than the one connected to DVR.

The short answer is , yes, but the fact that you asked the question, implies you don't know how. I bought a refurbished computer and added a terabyte hard drive and store the security images. These are available on line. Video of a guy in a hoody is useless. You Tube has a bunch of better options..

It has composite video output (4:3 480p) You can plug into anything that takes a standard component video input. (VCR, DVD Recorder, DVR Recorder, Time Lapse Recorder, computer, etc) Depending on your recorder you will need an "BNC-RCA" adaptor. Radio Shack has them or Amazon.

It does not record and playback, but we easily hooked ours up to an old VCR and do our recording/playback from that.

The manual only shows instructions for recording to the vcr. I would say no.

yes on VCR tapes and on DVD's but you need a tuner or cable box it does not ha a built in tuner. you can use a cable slitter and watch TV on another channel while using the cable box to record

My VCR is also still working, but I fear any day it will "konk out" and I'll be lost. I also use a portable DVD player which is OK, but it would be nice to have an "all in one" which would be relatively easy to install and would still enable me to record shows directly from the TV without a hassle. I only have the very basic cable system (no separate box or satellite).

Mine is connected directly to the TV, don't even have cable! So I guess the answer would be "no". Just don't expect the VHS recorder to last longer than a couple months.

The camera itself does not record, you have to have it hooked up to a recording system, I have used them on VCR's and Security DVR Systems, you can also use them on a DVD Recorder but your best bet is to get a good Security DVR system.

The answer is yes! I have my Roku connected via the RCA jacks (and two sets of RCA cables) like this: Roku --&gt; VCR line in --&gt; VCR line out --&gt; TV. Your VCR should have a "channel 0" or "line in" or "camera input" function. Set it to this channel and it will record anything the Roku plays. Have fun. :)

As long as the vcr can be connected to the coverter box, it can record it's signal

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

It does play vcr tapes. I haven't played any DVDs on it yet so I can't say if it does or not

No, I don't think you can. You have to have cable and a DVR BOX. I do like this DVD/ VCR-RECORDER. I HAVE 4 OF THEM.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.

I don't think so. There is a component and S-Video output - So if you can hook this up to your computer you could use it but there is no need. This device eliminates copy protection. So unless the VCR tapes have copy protection you don't need this device. What it sounds like you want is analog video capture ability. Check out USB devices for capturing video signal.

I have mine hooked up to the vcr until i get the DVR. The VCR only records as long as the tape is (6-8-10 hour tape). My neighbor got the DVR that goes well with the cameras and they can record 24/7. You do have to erase it. I think theirs goes to 385 hours and they bought a hard drive extension. I am going to get one asap then i will be able to tell you first hand.

Mine is hooked up to cable, through a cable box, and you would have to set the vcr to channel 4, to set the cable box to tape. Considering you have to set channels on it, with the cable box, I would think so, but cannot say for sure.
