I'm looking for a device which I purchased from Supercircuits about 5
years ago. It was a VCR controller. It would accept a dry contact
closure from for example a motion detector. A wired IR transducer from
the controller was afixed to the front of a consumer type VCR over the
IR receiver LED. This controller, model VCU-1 when tripped would
generate a "record" signal and send it via the transducer to the
consumer type VCR. The VCR would record for 30 seconds or continuously
if motion continued. It would then stop until the next event was
detected. The recording was also time and date stamped as well. This
is a very cost effective way of coming up with an event recorder
system. Supercircuits no longer sells the VCU-1. Their current model,
the VCU-4 which is a cheaper stripped down version, does not time and
date stamp. A separate unit would be necessary. Does anyone know if
the original type of self contained controller is still avilable?
Thanks. Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics.
