Can the probe record data without the USB drive plugged into a computer? If it needs power can it be plugged into a wall USB charger and record data?

My device is the TEMPer1 not the TEMPer1F. My device must be plugged into a computer or laptop not only for the power but also because it has no wifi or blue tooth capabilities, and no on board storage.

Unfortunately, no. There is no display or built in storage on the unit. It needs to be plugged in, queried over USB (not just power), and saved off of the device. I'd recommend a Raspberry Pi if you're going for a small setup, works great.

I have never had a reason to try to record when charging. Short answer is "I don't know". I could be wrong, but I don't think it will. But then again I have had no reason to try it.

Yes it has to be plugged into the computer by USB. It records the call on to your local hard drive. The computer and phone can be separated by as long as your phone cord is able to stretch.

using the wall-to-usb adapter, yes. Plugged into a computer's usb port, not if the computer automounts external drives. And once mounted, it shuts off if you unmount it. It might work if you disable automounting, but I just use the wall adapter so I'm not sure.

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Yes you can plug in a USB pen drive and access the data. I use supplied Display Port cable for the monitor.

No it doesn't. Maybe you can use an smart TV app that records to an attached hard drive via one of the USB ports on the tv. But not sure if could work

yes you can but you cannot record with the DVR while plugged into a computer. when plugged into a wall outlet you can charge and record at the same time.

You can plug it in to a DVR but recording will show nothing but "static". The operating systems are completely different in the 2 devices. However, if you connect this to a TV and then connect the DVR to the TV, you can record video.

Hi Kelle, I hope this helps. There is a cap over the USB connector on the bottom, as you've probably discovered by now. Take it off, then plug the unit into any USB port on your computer. This will actually charge the device, too. But you can use it either plugged in or not. You will have to be sure it's charged first, though. When you first plug it in, there is a tiny red light, which means it's charging. When it turns blue, you can record. Then there is a switch on the top. Slide it to Rec to record, then STOP to stop, obviously. It needs to be plugged it into the computer to get the files. It does not do any playback. Then, in Windows, just go to the File Manager (it used to be called that, anyway) and look under Computer for the list of drives. It should show up as a Removable Disk. Then click on it and see what's on it. If you've recorded any files, just copy/paste them to whatever folder you want them in. The ads claim great quality, but really, it's not that good. It's just handy for quick voice recording and can be carried in a purse or pocket, or even "palmed" if you need to be discrete.

It will record continuously until it runs out of battery or memory - which ever comes first. If you plug in the usb power charger, you can eliminate the battery limit. I have recorded as much as two hours without attending to the camera during that time.

the power source is the recorder itself. they plug into that along with the video cables. the hard drive has to be plugged in.

All I did on mine was just plug it in to the recorder. You could test it, plug it in turn the recorder on to record, say (testing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) stop the recorder hit play, if you hear the test it worked if not you need power.

the recorder has a push out usb plug that plugs into your usb in your computer or hub and charges the recorder. This works really well!!

You can get a wall charger for USB ports. My recorder also uses plain batteries.

Yes, if you use a charger like car USB, or wall USB, and not a computer, it will continue to record as it charges. I have done it several times.
