Does this product use an app or just a website? How are the cameras powered? Can you digitally store files directly to a flash drive?

this system is required to have an app for the mobile devices. for the PC, u can access to the system via software or website. the cameras are powered with a 5amp power supply and 1 to 5 power splitter. u may only can do manually back up to a flash drive.

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

These are simply cameras with a motorized mount so you can control them remotely. They do not have any onboard video storage. If you wish to record some video to be viewed later you will need a separate piece of software to record and save the video feed from these cameras onto your pc or mac's hard drive.

i'm not very techie but even i managed this one...... this camera has a memory card (you can get various values) and you pop that into the little USB device (about $15 on amazon) and it will unload the pics to your computer and then you can print them out using your computer printer. or you can also put them onto social media or attach them to email. hope this untechie response helps. (it's very uncomplicated and easy)

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

Hello, It does external memory, which is either a SDHC memory card, or a micro (SD) card, and they can be removed, then saved as a compressed/zip file using you desktop, or laptop. I will check my user operation guide, and check if it has a Facebook, etc upload software, which i think it has.

It comes with a USB cord which you use to upload videos to your computer, but it does NOT run off AC power, even though it has an AC charger that comes with it too. This is not a good point and shoot camera because the lens is on the end of the thing, really it works best for tripod mounted uses, web streaming, that sort of thing.

Yes this needs to be connected to a power source and also to a security dvr with a hard drive. You can copy files to USB flash drive.

I am sorry, but I don't know how it would work. Your flash drive plugs into your USB port or hub on your computer; then you copy or drag and drop your files to the flash drive. You can easily transfer pictures from your camera to a computer using the cables though. Just connect the cable to your camera and then to your computer, on screen directions will tell you how to proceed.

If you have a Digital Video Recorder to store the images, and that recorder is off site or somehow made safe, then you have the images. Each camera feeds a steady stream of video, but it is stored nowhere, unless you make provision to store it. Note that to store even 5 frames a second takes an awful lot of disk space.

It just has internal memory. You need to buy a memory card, but I think that is normal for all digital cameras.

While I have not set it up, it does give you the option in the admin / config menu. I do take a snapshot via my smart phone and store the image that way. You can also setup secure view pro to record and since it is a server you have options there as well for email events. I am new with these cameras but they seem very flexible and the provided software is ok but can be a little tough to configure. Hope this helps some

It appears that it is saved to the memory card, not the cloud. You do have the option to download videos to your phone from the cameras memory card. You would have to do it before the crook unplugs it though.

It records photos by motion detection and sends e-mails of them to you (not recommended because of too many false triggers) or uploads them to an ftp server. That is the way I do it. Videos on this particular camera are manual. You can trigger record on your computer or phone and it records the media there. There is no slot for a micro SD card on the unit. There is a more expensive model that has that feature though.

I´m storing the videos in a local FTP server (Filezilla). With yoics firmware ver 3.47, I can see each camera on my phone and store the videos configuring the ftp access under the motion detection tab.

When you plug the camera into your computer, it shows up as a external drive. You can then download the photos & videos to your hard drive.

I have my camera/s run stand alone and configure them to simply email me captured images that are triggered by motion or sound. The emails provides time & six photos spaced over a few seconds. That avoids saving huge video files to your PCs disk. The camera does not store video. They usually send emails at dawn & dusk when changing over from infrared to the visual light spectrum. Not bad for the price. You can also login remotely with iPad, PC whatever and fully record or control the camera.
