does it take a picture or video and save it once someone has pressed the doorbell?

Hello, this one doesn't support storage, we have another model which can do that,8inch Color Home Video Door Phone Doorbell Intercom System Video Storage

No. There is no storage in the unit. I don't think it is even possible to access the video for remote storage. Something to look into. If the video format is one of several standard formats, say, AVI, it might be possible to tap the video lines and send to an AVI-to-USB converter, then to a computer for recording and storage.

I'm unable to answer since I do not use my camera for video. If I had to make an assumption, I would say "no". Once you press the button, it opens the shutter. I'm unaware of any other options to make it start a video. I'm sorry for not being more helpful.

No it's just a doorbell inside your house. You can record different doorbell rings onto it in place of the normal ding dong. Ours currently plays a Star Wars theme when it's rang.

Yes it does. There are two separate buttons for video and for taking photos, so when you press the photo button while making a video it will take the picture

I believe it does but have not looked nor activated the function. This is a highly functional updated camera, so I think it has this feature.

It's only still photos. And the lag time sucks. Literally, ups has rung the doorbell, dropped a package, and I have NO photo of the driver because they left so quick. I also bought the motion sensor. This item is a complete waste of money and I regret my purchase. Also, I listed the battery issues in my review, but I didn't mention that when the battery expires, NO image is available through the peephole.

Yes it does. If someone rings the doorbell, you can view them in real-time and talk to them via the intercom with a phone handset

The doorbell need to ring to activate and capture the picture in micro SD card,or you can turn on the power button to see the picture. I do not think you want to turn it on 24/7. Good luck.

It doesn't record to itself. You can set it to email snapshots, so you don't HAVE to have a receiver. A pc can work as well if you don't want the email option.

If you use this with an iPhone app like foscampro or babycam that iPhone or iPad app will allow you to record by the push of a button. The web based version does not.

It will take pic when the button is pushed. I haven't tried to take with out I believe it only does it with bell button pushed

yes it does. Hold the camera button down for 5 secs or so when you want to turn on the camera. Then the next time you push it you will see a record time bar on screen instead of a still pic. Greatest phone I've ever owned. Left it out overnight face up on patio table in a constant rain. Shoulda been fried. 3 days latter after sitting in a rice glass, with battery in seperate rice glass it came back and has been rocking for another 17 months.

It has a remote that you press record. It saves recording to a removable SD card. It does not have battery back up, but what gets recorded will be saved on the SD card if power goes out.

No. It is motion activated. You set it up leave it and it only takes pics and video when something moves in front of it day or night
