Will this unit record directly to a connected PC, circumventing the need for an SD card?

No it won't. It only has an SD card slot for memory storage. You'll definitely need to get an SD card

I would highly recommend VideoSecu, portable DVR. A\C plug required. Records to SD card, Love it!

Yes, this item records the video inside to an internal HDD. But some kits goes without this HDD, so check it twice!

I believe that you can since since the source can be a cd, tape or external device. The "record to" options are USB and tape. I haven't done this but it should be doable. This unit is not a CD burner so you can't record to CD.

It has a USB plugin so im sure it will record on a PC as long as the PC has a USB

No. Just cameras & receiver. You would need to connect it to a pc or dvr to record.

Yes. To voice recordings. As far as using an external micro sd card for extra storage or video watching with no laptop conversion to avi, just straight in download, no success. Yet.

You can also use the SanDisk without a Computer. Just plug into your TV or VCR's RCA jacks and go.-Mike

It works without any computer connection. It records straight from your video source to a SD memory card.

No, the unit is designed to connect to the network. The unit wont work by direct connecting the unit to a pc/laptop via USB

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.

Very simple. I usually just pop out the sd card and use an adapter to use on my computer where it gets picked up as a data drive. or you can just plug it in with the supplied usb cable and leave the card in the recorder. Very simple and great device.

Ya know I haven't tested it. I would imagine it does so if there is an event that happens definatly pull the record off of the mem card and save it to your computer.

Yes, you can record to a Micro SD card on the camera or connect the camera directly to a PC and record.

You can record directly to a PC using the G5. You may have to do some research online to see how others have done it.
