Hey, All! I don't mean to 'shout', but if
you've posted a problem on this forum and
have gotten good advice from it which
resolved your issues, let the rest of us
know! This forum is a two way street.
You've got a problem, so you post it and
hope you can get an answer. Some of us
think that, perhaps, we're clever enough to
come-up with a solution. If our advice is
of use, but you don't post back and let us
know whether it worked, or not, we'll never
know. If you followed the advice and it
DIDN'T help; we need to know that too,
because we obviously need to go back to the
drawing board. I don't know everything, but
I'm not TOO shabby in the brain department
(sometimes). If I give advice that works,
I'd like to know so that I may learn from
it. If my advice is wrong, I'd like to know
that, too, because I can learn from that,
as well. I'm sure anyone else that gives
advice in this forum feels the same way.
It's not ego. It's the two way street that
is the forum! An exchange of
information/knowlege that helps us all!

Nice work Ken,
I agree. As far as what I have done and
left on this forum has kinda worked. This
equipment is touchy. I'm thinking of
dropping the PC recording as I have too much
trouble using the VA11A device on XP. I saw
you use the Commander with floodcams. I'm
thinking of buying the CommanderII. What is
your honest opinion on this way of recording
please.

Hi, OkieJim!
Other than the VCR Commander/2 being a bit
touchy to program, it seems to do a
fantastic job of controlling the VCR. So
far,I have not had an opportunity to try-out
the software you're talking about, which I
guess would be an ideal thing if you wanting
to look-in on your cameras remotely, right?
Of course, with VCR's being so cheap and
plentiful, it seems to me to be an easier
thing to do because you can conceal one
pretty easily. Unless you can afford a
laptop that you can stick somewhere, a thief
may take your PC, if that's what you're
relying on to run the software and view the
images with.
