If a thief breaks into my house and steals my computer, than I lose all the video stored on my hard drive. What's a way around this?

The software that comes with it and Blue Iris Pro which is what I use will send alerts to your EMAIL account and you are offered links that you pay for the use of servers on the internet to store your alert data ie: pictures and videos that are triggered by motion detection or scheduled recordings. Plus these alerts can be sent to your I Phone and you can access your camera from anywhere with the application with a laptop, tablet, or I Phone or android. But you have to have high speed internet service.

Have all of your data uploaded daily to the cloud. There are probably some good programs out there or even some of the newer wifi routers that do that

Set the camera to email images to you. That way you don't use your hard drive. They are stored at your providers location.

Purchase a separate DVR for your security cameras- you shouldn't even be using a personal computer for security video recording. If you want an all inclusive security camera with onboard recording, look into the Lorex Ping Camera (LNC116). They work well. They are not pan/tilt/Zoome; however. Hope this info helps. Personally, I own Lorex and Foscam and I'm really, really happy with my Foscam. The pan tilt tracks movement if you want it too. I'm happy with Lorex as well, but foscam has more perks. Good luck.

No, the DVR saves the video to its internal hard drive. If your DVR was purchased without an internal hard drive installed, then you can install an internal hard drive to your unit

I don't believe that you can...NO. However, saying that; the video recording always produces a jpeg from the first frame or so of the video, that appears when you download the video to your computer.

Depends on how you configure it. I am saving video and alarm still captured to both a memory card in the camera itself, and across my local LAN to my Windows PC. By using both methods, I actually have two copies of the video. Easy access to my computer hard drive copy, but I pull the memory card from the camera to read the second copy.

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.

I was able to save all pics and some of my desktop items. But your best to move everything to a flash stick, or a disk of some sort just to be safe.

Your PC becomes the DVR, but it must be left on. Nothing will be recorded when the PC is turned off.

I have not seen a way to do that but the system overwrites the oldest video when the hard drive runs out of space. Ao in that respect you don't have to worry about it.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

You will need a recording device such as digital video recorder (DVR) that stores the video on a hard drive or a SD card.

There is a way to swap files, but why did the computer fail??? If it was due to a virus, you'll unfortunately be swapping that to the new computer.If not, your in luck, you can connect the hard drive as a slave to the new hard drive and download. Look on Cnet.com or instructibles.com to lead you the way.Good luck!! I know how much my files and docs. mean to me and I would hate for them to be corrupted - DVD storage is the way to go, unless you have access to a cloud.Hate to say this, but let this be a lesson learned, I lost allot of files I wish I still had from the late 90's and 2000's - Be smart and use external storage, Peace Brother or Sister There is a way to swap files, but why did the computer fail???

I didn't find any security software on the drive and didn't have any problems copying any data to the drive. if you are having problems transferring data to the drive I suggest contacting Mushkin.

It will depend. You buy a memory stick separate that keeps the info. Then you can put it into your computer and see what is happening. You can also put it on standby so it only comes on when there is movement that trigger it. I think it would be quite posspile. I have recorded off and on for three days with an 8gig.

You can * burn it to a disc * copy it to a jump/usb drive * if your computers are networked you can access it from your laptop * failing the above, you can download it to your laptop

Hello,That would be through a separate recorder or a computer set to do that or maybe a cloud service. I havent done it so you'd have to do research.

No. The Kingston will be reformatted. You will be guided to set a new password, then can upload data. From their website: "The drive locks down and reformats after 10 failed login attempts, so users can rest assured their data is safe even if the drive is lost or stolen." "Secure - drive locks down and reformats after 10 invalid login attempts "
