Can this record straight to a PC easily? I would like to record onto a PC and view the video later. Is that easy to do with this?

Yes. Once you connect to the camara through the Lorex software, you will have the option to record to the PC what is being shown.

Yes it will but, you must use the Lorex player to view the videos. There is a way to convert the recorded videos to avi format but I haven't been pleased with the results.

It is only a sound/motion detector that will e mail you a picture once triggered. If you have wifi you can stream live to your computer or phone and talk to somebody at your front door. I am very satisfied with this product as others requires a monthly payment.

Yes. It is very easy to record straight to your PC to be viewed later. I also recommend using a MicroSD card which will allow you to pull up videos anytime form any device like your smartphone.

I can think of two definite ways to record to your computer. 1.) Your computer runs an FTP server. The camera's built-in software has options to upload photos to the ftp server either periodically or only when a motion event occurs. 2.) You can install 3rd party software that will read and record from the camera for you. I've used iCam myself but there are plenty of options in this case. As far as playing on your flat screen, realize that this is a network camera that has no video output lines. You either need a smart TV with a built-in web browser so you can access the camera's built-in web server, or you need an intermediate PC to retrieve the images from the camera and send them to a video-out stream which you would feed into the TV. Alternatively, if you have a gaming console with a web browser, such as the internet browser supplied with the Nintendo Wii, you may be able to browse to the camera's web site from there. I'm not sure if the Wii has all the right plug-ins to play the video feed though. I think it only needs javascript but I'm not sure.

I upload it to my computer and then, straight to youtube. But, I don't think you can do it straight from the camcorder to youtube without plugging it in.

Manual says it does, but I have not tried it myself. It is not always recording though. You need to turn it on manually and it would generate a file that you would save on your PC.

It can be used directly to a monitor/tv/ although if you are hooking it up to a CPU you will need a video card I believe and of course software if you want to record.

It records onto a 4GB micro SD card. From there you can hook up the usb cable and transfer it to your PC, or direct transfer if your PC has a SD reader slot (the usb transfer is quicker, though). Rather easy, actually. These mini cams do not include an SD card, so you'll need to purchase one separately; but considering the low cost, it's still well worth the expense IMO.

No. It's just the software for your PC, so you can record it on your PC. You'll need a minimum small mixer or a USB Microphone.

yes you can watch it on you computer. it comes with a USB adapter to transfer recording to you computer. it comes up as a file and is easy to watch the recording. I went to youtube.com and watch this good review. http://youtu.be/X16kiyDtTms

B. Pinker's info worked for me to view video (after some trial and error with numbers in device names) but I was unable to record successfully from VLC. I tried Convert option under Capture Device and also the toolbar record button. My computer may be too slow. I had success with ffmpeg on command line:ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:2:0 -target ntsc-dvd ouptutfile.mpg

I don't really know. I have only recorded onto a CD and I don't believe you can record any other way. However, there is a way to connect to your computer, so there may be some options I am not aware of.

How do you record something on it? I want to put it inside of a stuffed animal and don't want what was recorded on it to be erased. So is it real easy to rerecord?

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

mine records videos on tape and stills on sd card or if you have a Diamond VC500 USB 2.0 One Touch Video Capture Device you can record on your computer.

Hello, we have yet to test it with Network Attached Storage, but if it's treated the same as an external hard drive, you can record to it but only on continuous recording mode. As it is right now, we support recording right to a PC on the network via IE browser (with ActiveX enabled) or iSpy, which is a third party IP camera recording application. We do have a cloud-based storage solution in the works...we're currently about 3 weeks out from going live with it.

Yes. It is a DVR and records independantly of any other source. Downloading is not required. You can connect a monitor to view the DVR playback and a PC is not required. Of course you can also use a PC or playback over an internet connection.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

To my knowledge no. You need to plug the card into a PC if you want to view playback of the recording.
