Hi,
I'd like to do some video recording with a wireless video camera that I
recently bought. This camera outputs its video signal via an RCA
connector on its wireless receiver. In order to record the video to
tape I need to get a camcorder that has video and audio inputs for an
external signal.

Does anyone know of an inexpensive camcorder (make and model) that will
allow me to do this? I know there are some new camcorders that do this,
but I don't have the budget to purchase such cameras.

Thanks for your help in advance.

If I understand correctly what you want, why not just record it on a
VCR?

Anyway, most camcorders in the US have analog in, so it doesn't have to
be an expensive one if there really is a reason to record it on a
camcorder instead of a VCR. (Some European camcorders have restrictions
having to do with a tax code, I am told.)

I assume you're in the US, if you live in the same Providence I used to
live in...
