Recording with a VCR

Whether you have set up your camera to use the wireless receiver or the

1.  Make sure your VCR is connected to play back on your TV.

2.  Set up your camera according to the instructions on pages 4 thru 11 (for 

wireless transmission) or pages 13 and 14 (for secure connection).

3.  Connect the video cable from the camera or video receiver into the 

Video In jack on your VCR.

With the camera connected to the VCR, you will be able record surveillance 
video while watching on your TV. Check your VCR owner’s manual if you 
aren’t sure how to select the 

SentinelPro

 Camera as the video source.

The onscreen menu is displayed over the picture from the camera. 

1. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to select items from the main menu.
2. Use the Right arrow button to select a menu item and move into its 

submenu. 

3. Use the Up or Down arrow buttons to select a submenu item.
4. Use the Right arrow button to select a submenu item.
5. Use the Right arrow button to save the new setting.
6. To exit the onscreen menus, press the Left arrow button repeatedly until

To discard all changes made in the onscreen menus and restore the default 
settings to the camera, select the PRESET submenu, and change the

If you leave the onscreen menu open for a while without pressing any 
buttons on the remote, you will stop being able to control the menu. Follow 
the steps 1 through 3 above to enter the menu mode again. You can then

The onscreen menus change the low-level, technical operation of the

settings.
