Greetings; yes you can watch live as it records to what ever device you are recording to. It has great quality for the size of the LCD.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

My system is connected to a flat screen. You need a dvr recorder box. I have a vga cabke from my box to the tv.

Yes, use the hdmi setting on your dvr and change the settings on your comp to output via dvi.

At least a LCD monitor with VGA. One with HDMI (high definition) is best. Check your outputs on your DVR. You may have 3 choices. VGA, HDMI, and video (BNC connection).

It does have HDMI out, as well as many other jacks. And you have two XLR inputs for mics.

I use "IP Camera Super Client" software for recording to a hard drive. Monitoring is done either via built-in browser-based software or software I'd mentioned.

The stand that comes with the camera has an HDMI mini output for viewing directly to your HDTV. However there is electrical connection needed (should come as well with the packaging and attaches to the stand) that will allow both AV out and HDTV out .

To my knowledge If you are thinking about recording live television the answer is no, since there is no video/audio input on the device. however there are applications that can supply you with pre-recorded material such as xbmc. Also if you meant to record programs on another device such as tivo etc using this as a controller yes you can. That being said this is based on Android and if you are technology savvy it is probably possible to use an application along with an external video/audio receiver to record anything but it requires work.

Can you record while the hdmi cable or componet cable is hooked up and see what the view finder is seeing on the TV. I have a Kodak zi8 that has hdmi out to tv but when plugged in has only playback mode. Does this camera allow you to use an external TV as your monitor?

The receiver records activity from the camera on a SD Card for purpose of review or saving data. Your existing TV may be used as a monitor. The monitor is live and has nothing to do with recording. This particular system is amazing. I would def recommend the DVD system.

Yes. I've got mine to record 100% of the time, but also make a log in the system when there is motion. You can also pick which portion of the monitor to record the motion on, so you can block out trees and such so there are fewer false reports.
