Capturing a video signal in VCR

[General Mortars]

Hi, guys,

I wonder if you could help me out here, I´m trying to capture a nanny cam TV signal with my VCR and I don´t know which steps to take.

I have a cable that´s compatible with the socket in the image:



But no matter how much I try to tune its frequency with my VCR´s remote, I´m getting no signal at all.

Is there a setting I don´t know about that I should be working with?

Change the channel from a normal channel to AV, maybe?
Help....

There should be an A/V button on the remote. The VCR won't be tuned to a station....but "line in" or AV1 or AV2....etc etc.
That is IF that line from the camera does NOT need to go to an amplifier of some type first?

Thanks, Hech54, I´ve tried the AV button both in the TV and VCR and nothing.

there are no amplifiers and the instructions just say "connect the yellow socket to TV or VCR and tune its frequency til you finds the signal".

Whatever writing is above that input/socket on the VCR in this picture....THAT
is what you need to select as in input on the VCR.
Best thing to do?....watch TV stations via your VCR....changing channels
with the VCR to make sure you are actually using the VCR as a tuner...
with the nanny cam hooked up and ready to be used....go to channel 1
then "channel down"...that should take you to the VCR's inputs whether they be
on the back of the VCR or on the front like the one in your picture.

What is the make and model number of the nanny cam?
