I can't find anything online about that VCR other than assorted listings
for IR remote codes.  Is this a standard home-style VCR, or an actual
time-lapse unit?

Since you can playback tapes to the monitor, it sounds like you have the
VCR->Monitor connection right... so the issue is getting the camera
signal into the VCR.  Have you tried both inputs (front and rear)?  Is
there a switch or on-screen menu to select which input you're using?
