Hand held video recorder (not a camcorder) for surveillance camera?




Virus


I have a LED Infrared camera that I want to take out of my house. I want to know if there is a portable box or something I can hook it up to that will record what the camera takes in.

This is what I got

Answer
Yes, there are many choices for a portable video recorder. You must be sure you select one with the appropriate input format for your camera.

The link you included with your question showed only the picture of your camera, but judging by the RCA type connectors shown in the picture, it appears to have COMPOSITE video output with audio.

There are many portable recorders around. Just be sure you select one with composite (also known as A/V) inputs and you're all set.

Just do a web search for "Mini portable DVR" (Digital Video Recorder) and you will find many offers, with a wide range of features and prices.

Here are a couple links selected at random to retailers of such devices.

Answer
Since you didn't give us any examples (model numbers) here it goes.

Camera ... generic. Any light tight box with a lens that can expose film, either still or motion. Recently this includes video cameras and digital cameras

Video camera. What they use at television stations, sports venues ... sometimes they can weigh over a ton and are attached to a control room via a cable which carries video, audio feed as well as a separate duplex audio connection so the director can talk to the operator to call "shots".

Video recorder. Most common is the VCR (VHS), but include broadcast quality beta max and even 2" tape recorders.

Camcorder. A handheld video camera which has a built-in recording system (tape, hard drive, CD, DVD or memory card)
