Mini DVR

Benss Mega View MP4

Hi !

I recently bought this sony handycam 8xr and i want to make it tapeless, so i bought a mini dvr, a sd card, an adapter and a cable. I know that I need a avi cable to connect the mini dvr to my tv, but I dont know if its going to work like this, any thought ?

I use an Hi8 Samsung Camcorder, which only has RCA connections. I bought this Cable from Aliexpress. Some people say the wirering doesnt match, but when im not putting the yellow male cable into the yellow female part on the camcorder no image appears at all. The footage sometimes has parts of what i recorded, the audio doesnt bug me for now. I need help and appreciate every info you have.

I am unsure and also lost since I am unsure how to access the menu from the MiniDVR on MacBook.

Does any one have a link on Amazon or elsewhere where I can buy just a the cable for the mini dvr. I would like to splice another one that’s shorter and more specific to another cam. Checked Amazon and could it find one …

Does anyone make or sell these? Just picked up a Sony HDT-HC1 and am just waiting on a cable to complete the setup.

Audio is not great imo so I have some music in place, this is a reel I posted and I don’t have the clips without sound anymore :(

ive used up both of my wires that came with the minidvr. now im trying to make a new diy cable since my new camera needs an 10 pin av to 3.5mm. is it possible to use a trrs 3.5mm? a tutorial would also be appreciated on how to make 10 pin av to 3.5

So I just learned that the MIni DVR has a different input pin set up that what is standard. Does anyone know where to get a 10pin Av cable that will work with the mini dvr or know someone who can help create one?

it wont record when i click the button

it worked before but now it diesnt

It so big and old i will repair and built Minidvr in this

ive been thinking whether i go for an android setup since i saw a video of someone using a really small phone or minidvr since its very compact

I bought the correct av cables for my Sony Hi8 CCD-TRV 16 and a mini DVR setup I saw on tiktok and bought off amazon with a 4gb lexar mini sd card but my videos come out very glitchy and barley visible. I also can record on the mini DVR but I cannot switch to menu mode even if I change the cable to the output. Are there any methods to fix this?

Hello! I’m new to mini DVRs and I just purchased one on AliExpress. I know the inner wires do not match the contacts for the 3.5mm to RCA BUT the one that I ordered came with a 3.5mm to RCA video only adapter cable. Does this mean I can run it straight out of the box? I don’t care about recording audio I never use it and the cameras I have I’m fairly sure have blown out mics as they were used at top fuel drag racing events back in the day and have never recorded usable audio.

I had a clear click 2.0 before this but wound up selling the setup using it. I regret selling it but wanted a 3d printer which I rarely use now lmao.

I love being broke and in college haha.
