Title: Floodlight and VCR
Post by: jay on February 05, 2005, 12:43:18 PM

I can not make my flood light to trigger my
VCR recorder. After I press play and
trigger the motion detector of the flood
lights the play LED never goes off.
What is the problem?

What model flood light is this? If it's the
PR511 you'll have a problem. The PR511 sends
powerline signals, but the VCR Commander only
responds to RF commands. If the VCR Commander
is triggered by a motion sensor (rather than
you pressing play on it), it will stop
recording 5 minutes after the last ON command
is received from a motion sensor.
