Those flood lights are suppose to control
the VCR Commander just like any of the other
motion detectors the actual stopping of the
recording is done by the VCR Commander, it's
supposedly has it's OWN BUILT IN TIMMER, the
floods should start it the Commander should
turn itself off I believe after 5 minutes.
Hope this Helps.

Tom:That's what I thought when I bought it.
(flood lites/motion detector)But after
several hours of trying to get it to work I
contacted x10.They told me it's made to
turn on the camera,and lites and modules BUT
not the commander.And it turns lites on
24/7.even in daylite.More $$ shot.Yes the
commander will record 5 min.then shut
recorder off IF accuated.FUN  WOW!!

Hi that's not true I have the same setup
with the Commander in the learn mode you
should be able to walk by the flood cam and
trigger the rf for the commander to recieve.
I've done this when I first recieved it.
I'll have to go back and find the manual
which I admit is not very good and look it
over again. Can someone else jump in?

Tom   Sure hope your right,but x10 help did
tell me different?I set motion det. to same
address as nite camera I wanted it to come
on  with.I have 4 cameras so can't program
it in seperately and stay in the group of
4.What am I doing wrong?

Do you have FloodCam or Flood light?  I have
3 floodcams and each one turns on the vcr.

Tom AL;I have the mot.detector with
floodlite only,so I could use it with my
nite camera mounted hidden elseware.It will
talk to modules in the house ok,but not to
commander.I think it's #PR511.As I said
before,I tried but it won't do it.x10 help
also advised it's not made to.Before I
purchased it I consitered the flood cam but
reading about the problems with them,I
thought this would be the best for my
purpose.Before I bought I was assured it
would accuate the camera,and assumed that
included the commander.Guess I lucked out

Got Ya! I thought you had the Video Floods,
sorry for the confusion. The flood cam by
x10 is really quite good one of the few
thanks they really got right, picture
quality is excellent especially considering
I only paied about 39.00 bucks a piece. The
reciever could be better they clame 100 feet
but for a clear picture in the city I would
cut that in half.
