Remote VideoEye™ Instruction Manual 

 

Introduction 

 
The PixController Remote VideoEye™ is a wireless remote triggering device to control any Sony 
or Canon camcorders with the LANC editing port. The Remote VideoEye™ consists of a small 
waterproof box with a receiving antenna and LANC port for connecting your 

user supplied

 

compatible camcorder. Wireless commands to power “on” your camcorder and start “recording” 
can be sent via the included handheld 

SlimFire

 remote control unit. Commands to stop the 

camcorder recording and power it down are also sent via the SlimFire remote, and command for 
controlling the camcorder zoom functions are also possible via remote wireless commands. 
 
The Remote VideoEye™ is perfect for capturing video without needing another camera man.

never before seen

” angles of your hunt or wildlife documentary. Imagine a 

video camera setup from ground angle filming the shot from a tree stand all controlled from the 
hunter or camera man in the tree stand? Remote VideoEye™ units are also addressable, which 
means you can control several Remote VideoEye™ camcorders units independently in one 
setup.  
 
There is no limit to the number of Remote VideoEye™ camcorder unit that can be used at one 
time. Several system can be setup at one time and will all set to record with a simple press of the 
button with the included SlimFire remote control unit. Remote VideoEye™ can also be triggered 
via the X10 wireless PIR motion sensor. Imaging capturing footage of a trophy buck walking into 
your setup from angle never before possible. Adding this type of footage to your hunting video or 
wildlife documentary will set you apart from others!
