Using other Video Cameras with your Trekker MiniDVR
Board Video Cameras
Board and Pinhole Cameras
You can use any 12V video camera with a standard NTSC
or PAL output with the Trekker MiniDVR unit. Some
applications may require other video cameras than the
bullet camera supplied with the Trekker MiniDVR unit.
Cameras such as board cameras and microphones as in
the photo shown can be used. Applications such as indoor
where you may need to hide the video camera in
something for covert recording are possible with the
Trekker MiniDVR unit.
Room setup: PIR Motion sensor trigger, video
camera connected to a wireless transmitter
Recording Setup: Video receiver connected to the
Trekker MiniDVR video input
Wireless video cameras with motion sensor trigger
The Trekker MiniDVR unit can also be used with various
wireless video cameras. In this setup the Trekker
MiniDVR recording unit can be hidden in another room or
a distance of 100’ from the wireless video camera.
An example setup show here would consist of one room
setup with a wireless video camera connected to a video
transmitter. The camera and transmitter can be hidden for
covert setup, but power must be supplied to the video
camera and transmitter. Simply setup the PIR motion
sensor or motion sensors within the room.
Next, in another location setup the Trekker MiniDVR by
connecting the video receiver to the video input cable of
the Trekker MiniDVR unit. Connect the power and video
output connections to the cable.
Upon motion detection from the room with the wireless
video camera the Trekker MiniDVR unit will power up the
wireless video receiver and start recording the incoming
video signal.
In situations where you may need to monitor an area of a
building but do not have access to the recording area this
is the ideal setup. Simply setup the Trekker MiniDVR in
the basement our outside the building in order to get
access to the recorded video files.
