I think Optex has an IR interface capable of being programmed to act as a
remote for most consumer VCRs.  Most surveillance VCRs have trigger inputs
built in for hardwaired switching.

There are also some video motion sensing devices out there, but I would
stick with a more reliable external such as a door contact ona  covered door
or an IR/Microwave motion sensor.
