Update Connection of DVR To Nitesite NS50

OK you may have read my Post below that I had decided to purchase a Nitesite NS50 Nightvision Scope to replace my Yukon Sentinel Pulsar dedicated set up primarily due to the recording option that was available on the NS50,so here we go with another update now to get the whole set up connected and working.

Well first things first,the NiteSite Camera has a 3.5mm AV in jack plug socket and the DVR Recorder has a 2.5mm AV in jack plug socket here the trouble starts to quote from NiteSite Website  " The NiteSite connection must be  a four pole 3.5mm 4pin jack plug/lead from the tip of the jack plug as pin 1 this is an audio signal, pin 2 a video signal, pin 3, ground (common) pin 4 is an audio signal. For technical details please check the manufacturers instructions for your recording device as these pin configurations may vary for different regions and will not work until the configuration is the same as the NiteSite " OK looking for a suitable connection lead was to be a nightmare and I could not for the life of me find one in this country so I took a chance and ordered one via Ebay from China one single cable one end was a 2.5mm jack plug the other 3.5mm two weeks later it arrived.


Ok I finally had delivered my connection lead from China a quick test and it worked so I temporarily attached my Dog cam DVR,NiteSite NS50,smaller battery etc to my Air Arms TDR and carried out a quick night time test in my garden it seemed to work fine  the clarity is not the best but I didn't bother with the focus too much as I only wanted to see if all of the units would work together especially using the LANC DVR remote that was fixed to the fore end of my gun, I downloaded the recording for you to see you can click on the link below to view

Secondly I needed to find a way to tidy up the battery,DVR Recorder and the cables so armed with a small camera case from Poundland and a pair of scissors I made the following "Battery + DVR Stock Pouch" that will fix to my gun a real "Blue Peter Moment" (how it will be fixed will be another project)

Its a lot neater now

Cut some small holes for the cables



hard wired ready to go on the gun
