Does this camera allow recording on a local drive? Is the recording service free? Is there a special soft required?

Yes this camera can record to a local drive. No, the recording service is not free, but is a one time cost in the form of purchased software. Yes, a software designed for your computer operating system and camera recording needs (sometimes referred to as 3rd party software) must be purchased and installed to run/record on a local drive. I recommend Blue Iris Software. It is pretty reputable all around and has a matching phone app ($10 cost). It's pricey but it's a good product. It's a good place to start. There are other options/companies available.

Sorry, can't help, have not tried to record with this machine. But there is a record button on the remote, so you must be able or that would not be there. Make sense.

The HD camera provides a local storage solution, recording video directly onto a microSD memory card with up to 128GB capacity (sold seperately). Set your camera for continuous recording or, to minimize viewing time and storage space, for recording only when motion events are detected. The saved video can be remotely viewed from any computer or Android or iOS device. Or you can record on NAS & NVR drives, like Synology, ASUSTOR and QNAP with ONVIF 2.0 compatible for systems integration. No matter wireless or hardwired , the harddrive should be connected to the same router/ switch that the camera is plugged in .

The DNR and attached hard drive have to be in the same local network. You can playback the video that is recorded from anywhere. Maybe there is some hack that would make the DNR think the cameras are attached locally but not sure how that would work. The software it comes with is pretty clunky. This is no industrial setup to say the least.

The box itself is CLOSED CIRCUIT, you can only view live feed, you add the harddrive inside the box and it then will record

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

Yes - you can record. I don't know about the DVR with hard drive - however - here's what I recommend: Get the Blue Iris software - yes it runs on Windoze - but - you'll have a ball with the features and what you can do to manage the camera, the alerts and recording clips. I have 4 of the 18905's outdoors and 4 18910's indoors :)

It is a CCTV camera so you will need a CCTV card in your computer with software to record onto the hard drive or a DVR for CCTV cameras. It is not a stand alone unit.

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.

There is no sd slot for recording. I believe that recording software would need to be added to a network computer in order to do that. I went out of town shortly after the rudimentary setup that I did and intend to work on that when I get back. Also, one alternative I'm going to look into when I have time is "Foscam Pro", an app for iPhone and iPad which, I've read, provides video recording, image capture, 2 way audio and other features.

I've got to make an assumption that you are using a security system, and is the basis of your question. If your security camera has digital output, it can be recorded and stored on an external hard drive.

No. The simplest and best recording software (free) is audacity. Easy to use and works with this hardware

I'm unsure, however, I have connected a USB3 hard drive to the unit. I've found that even passport drives work well with the unit as it relates to recording even HD video and being used as a DRV. The only devise that seems to have issues when recording are the slower flash drives/USB Sticks

While it doesn't require any drivers to run, the "drive" itself may require formatting. Check if your DVR allows to you point at a storage device other than the onboard default drive, and if it requires any additional formatting like FAT32, Linux, NTFS, etc.

There's no need specific software to view recording. It works with Windows Media player. About Google map I can't tell, I never tryed that option. But camera's software does not work properly, memory card needs to be formated daily. I suggest to choose another maker.

I purchased one and installed on my DVR box (SA Explore 8300HDC). The DVR recognized the drive and prompted for formatting the drive. Another reboot of the DVR and every thing works. I did not lose my previously recorded video. Thanks,--CY

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.
