Hi Martin,

Thanks for your questions and for providing your specific use case. We get this one quite a bit.

If you go for Recoil Simulation with LASR, you are already headed on the right path using LASR Classic.

To capture the short laser burst that recoil simulators emit, you need a camera with a high-speed shutter. The LASR Classic Advanced Camera (LCAC) has high-speed shutter and IR detection. There are other cameras on the market, but presently LASR Classic only supports the LCAC drivers.

You can buy the LCAC Extention License in the store, but it unlocks the ability for Classic to communicate with the LCAC. Unfortunately, it still won't recognize other Thrid-Party Cameras.

Here's a link to a video where Sam gives more specifics on the camera and set-up. It may answer your questions with a bit more detail.
