Hi, i bought a simple 2.4GHz wireless mini camera ip44 & reciever which has component cable's yellow and white. What i want to do is record its images onto my Humax 9200t pvr. So when i get back from work i can rewind and see who's been knocking on the door or who might be getting too nosy (i live on a council estate and need to keep an eye on the place) I have a LG 26lb75 tv with 2 scart sockets on the back and component sockets on the side, if i plug the receiver into the side of the tv i can get a reasonable picture on my tv, but i am at a loss as to how to record the images onto my pvr. The humax also has component sockets but if i use them i get nothing on the tv to view, and i can't seem to locate any channel which brings up the images. Do i need component 2 scart cable's? Am i doing something wrong? Is there actually a way to achieve my aim? Any help would be much appreciated Many thanks Bill

Yep. (sulk) i hate it when my gut instincts are shot down in flames, but i still think.....nope just jesting...thanks buddy, it looks like an independant piece of equipment is the answer. As the modulator seems out of the question and a video recorder isn't practical (i have too many cable's in my living room as it is) is there any piece of equipment that can record onto CD/DVD that can then be played on a laptop or DVD player i.e..my x-box. Or to be quiet honest, and not to sound in any way disrespectful about your advice hitherto, could you please advice me on the cheapest independant piece of equipment i need to achieve my goal. Many thanks Bill

Hmmmm thanks Matt et al, beginning to get the picture now well not, if you can handle a pun. There is a freeview tuner built into the pvr so i guess that is what you mean. Obviously (i think) what your saying is the pictures from the camera are analogue and the equipment i have is digital, a bit like water and oil they don't mix, so i need third party equipment that converts analog to digital. Baring that i need a totally seperate recorder (hopefully cheap) record onto that and play it back at my leisure. But i'm not totally convinced (he says, imagining you guys banging your heads against the wall) that i can't get what i have to do the job. Will post pics anyway, (when i can get time from the crazy hours i work) and hopefully not try your patience too much. many thanks again.

Many thanks Matt, don't entirely have a grasp on exactly what you said, but am pleased someone is 'in the know' about it. Don't know if you follow up on newbies questions, but if your a regular on this site (or anyone who is in the know) i would appreciate it if you could have a peek at this topic again in the next couple of days (will re-post) as i will try and post a couple of pics showing the set up, as i feel a picture/s will help enormously in resolving the problem. Many thanks. Bill
