Hello,
I just bought a Sony VCR for security recording. I need to have the recording start and stop with the motion lights. The user guide says it uses a universal remote, so presumably that is the Phillips code and not the Sony? Can someone point me to where I can find the code? My thought is to use a timer and preload shift register to drive an IR LED. I only need record and stop functions. If that gets too involved I will just go in and connect micro-relays across the manual switches.
I also need to switch between camera inputs. Will an analog switch such as a 4066 work or should I just use another relay?
Thanks
