:roll: I have a CCTV recorder in my cellar (hidden so that it should be hard to detect if my house is broken into). I would like to make a remote control panel (connected probably by wiring) for my sitting room so that I can operate the CCTV without having to go downstairs.
I have though of using a basic solenoid setup, one for each button strapped over the unit's control panel. This seems expensive and quite clumsy. There are 17 buttons to control.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this by maybe using a relay connected through to the internal button connections of the CCTV unit?
Any thoughts or pointers would be gratefully received.
