the bad part is that does not have instructions at all. You have to play in order to accomplish your expectations. there will be more easy if have some manual to follow in order to install and accomplish everything that is offered. In my case, i download into my android phone a "ASeePro" application. I went into the the access point to settings to change the ip address to be viewed from outsite. It works fine for me even i have a sucks internet in my cell. i hope it guide you. connections i do not have problems. recording play back ...no! and the sofware i do not have comments! works for me!

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

I had no luck with this camera or its manufacturer. My software disc was blank and the i.p. address given to link the camera was inop. The online chat is so bad I think it may be a fake site. Wish I could help but my best advice is to return it and get something else.

I wouldnt say any longer than most other apps, but a warning it might still not work. You have to depend on their server either with or without video.

After being "forced" into a more expensive model, the unit is still useless as it is limited by the software. I have not had any success on either of the three you asked about.

That is what I did with this camcorder and a video capture software. BUT!! I bought a refurbished one of these and it ruined one of my tapes. bye bye precious home videos.

I bought this DVR in Nov.2013 and hooked it up to my existing a dome color camera and a bullet and it working great so far for me including the remote view from my smart phone. I recommended that you contact the Q-See customer service about your problem. The customer there are very nice and friendly people they help me set up the remote view on my system.Hope that help

Also Recon3d is not ASIO compatible while this one is, which makes it perfect for recordings. Recon3d is known to have significant lags, see reviews.

Well I finally got my reply, and here it is..."...We understand that you would like to know if the DVDR3576H/37 will give you the option to record and watch television at the same time. This particular unit does not have that option. Please visit our web site at www.p4c.philips.com to view additonal DVDR that will be more suitable."We've come along way since the analog/VCR age...NOT!! I don't normally have a call to watch the very same show I am recording. How lame is that. I guess I'll just keep looking. From the horses mouth...I guess that ends this thread.

Mine didn't work on my PC, either. They were fairly good at trying to help me get it to work, but they gave up and said it must just be a bad one. They send me an alternative software site. I never got it to work. I should have used the Amazon return slip and sent it back. It was a $20 loss. I still haven't found a way to tranfer the Hi8 tapes.

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

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.

I did not do anything special. Of course the manual only gives a hint.Send the manual through Google Translate helps a bit.I have used it for more about 6 months or so without problems.The cam has lots of features that can be accessed via the menu. Two issues: The manual is cryptic but one can experiment to figure it out.The record file format is mov which may work well for some users but I would prefer a different format.

I have no problems playing the video on Windows 7. The included viewer software is ok, but it's not great. I downloaded a free viewer called Registrator (http://www.registratorviewer.com/download_en.html) that is 1000 times better. It allows you to view the GPS track on a map beside the video along with G-sensor data etc. I highly recommend it. The cam does have a very small amount of internal storage, but not very much (I don't remember the amount). It's not enough to record more than a few minutes of video probably. You'll need a SD card for any decent recording times. I've been using mine for about 7 months now and I love it.

Don't think they have updated. The software does suck. But video quality is super awesome and its worth it.

YES! I finally got it to work, but they don't make it easy. I had to submit a help ticket with the manufacturer. They sent this link, and when I followed their directions, I was able to get audio and video onscreen and saved to a file. My only problem was that while recording, there are black lines across the screen, so you can only hear the video. I suppose if the VCR is connected to a TV (mine was not when tested), you can still see when to stop recording on your TV.https://vimeo.com/110391073

It will work fine. You will not be able to review it remotely, but can play it back manually from the DVR.
