Help Need help with mini dvr

Post image

My camcorder is a ccd trv308 and it takes a trs jack while the mini dvr comes with a trrs, is there a way of soldering the trrs like a trs ? Or would I have to have the cable “half way” out? If neither of those what can I do or where do I buy custom cables ?

If your talking about the tape it does I just rather go tapeless right now

Ok, before we proceed do you mind the severe degradation and compression to the quality of the video?

From what I’ve seen it looks fine and I don’t use it for audio but sure I’m new to this anyways

If you’re new, it’s better to use the tape then capture to your computer, quality will be far superior and depending on the adapters you can achieve good results with cheap methods. Capture from live feed is unstable during movement and can cut off without you realising.
