    Security camera/hooking it up
    Hello,
    Ok I'm not very good with explaining things so I will give this my best shot. I'm trying to set up a security camera in my apartment. I ordered a (Wisecom Mini Color Camera w/Night Vision and Audio) from Sams club. I was told that this camera would work with most VCR recorders and TV's. So I went to a pawn shop and bought just a plane VCR recorder. The TV I'm hooking this all up to is a 32" VIZIO HD. The camera hooks up successfully to the AV 1 output/input on my TV. I can't get the VCR to hook up to my TV?? My DVD player hooks up with a HDMI connection and it works great! I'm kinda in a pickle... Here are my questions:
    -Should I get an updated DVD/VCR recorder with HDMI(How does that record the video/audio if the camera is plugged into AV 1)
    -How does this camera work (please see below the information provided for the camera)

    Your video from the camera needs to go directly to your time lapse VCR and then to your TV. Not from the camera to the TV then the VCR. TV's do not have a video output. The line from the camera will go to the VCR "Video in" then the "monitor out" will go to "Video 1" on the TV. Make sense? Hope this helps
