Your VCR will probably have one or two Scart sockets
You should be able to get a lead (make sure it is switchable, or wired for Scart IN) to connect one of these sockets to the Phono sockets on the camera).
IF your camera has s-video outputs, and you know your video is capable of taking s-video input on the scart socket (the VCR will be marked s-vhs rather than vhs), then use a Scart cable with an s-video socket.
You should then be able to record from the camera to the video.

Actually this sounds like a fairly old camcorder so it will almost certainly not have S-video.
It most probably has a lead combining a BNC and a phono jack on one end to go into the back of the Video, and either BNC and Phono, or something proprietory, on the other end to go into the camera.
There won't be red and black phono leads unless the camera has stereo sound, which is unlikely. Most probably there is just one black phono jack for audio and a BNC alongside it for the video.
As your VCR almost certainly does not have a BNC socket (they are rarely used in domestic applications these days) you may need a new cable.
But please, end this speculation and tell us what you've got!
