Connect your camera to the VCR, set it to vcr mode and if it shows video on the camera monitor press record.
This is actually the best way to go. This way, you get a solid digital copy of your VHS footage. That allows you to log and capture, and then go back later and recapture from a batch list/sequence if necessary.
If the tape is old and the control track has been chewed up a bit, you may see the picture roll. At that point, the signal should be passed through a time-base corrector (strips and replaces the control track info, which stabilizes the image).
Be advised that copyright and copy protection rules apply. The camera will not recognize a signal with SCMS encoded. If you are trying to dub footage for which you don't have the rights to copy, edit, etc., you're breaking the law.
