Does it record on an internal hard disk or does it require tape?

it uses the little SD memory cards. I would recommend at least an 8gb card.

NO ITS Better then that It Records on a Standard SD Card, BUT BE AWARE HD is large BUY the Fast Class 10 Red Gold Card for Optimal Speed Write Speeds. Its a Great Cam for Editing

This does record to SD cards. A 30-45 min recording is around 5 gigs so unless you offload the footage all the time, I recommend a 32 gig card. My Canon 3Ti demands a high speed class 10 card, or else it shuts down the recording after about 5 seconds. The Toshiba Camileo X200 doesn't require a fast card. I run mine with Class 4 cards exclusively and they have zero issues.

You can play a tape or you can record to a blank tape. Does that answer your question?

With a hard drive, you can save the record video to playback or backup, without a hard drive, it only can real-time monitoring, no video can be save, thanks.

No it has an on/off switch to record anywhere. Then you insert into computer to listen to recording, rename and save if you like. It saves as a wmv file.

Sorry, but the answer is no, but if you have a blank tape you can record a disk on your tape.

No. Software has to be installed on a computer in order to record from the unit. Great unit otherwise.

NO, it DOES NOT have to be inserted to record - but it must be inserted to playback!

It records to DV tapes. But their are video USB cards that you can use to capture the video to your computer.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

There is no tape to run out and I've yet to run out of memory on this recorder. I image there would be some warning sound if it ever did.

the recorder uses a solid state "Flash" memory chip to record. Not a tape. a kind of memory that retains data in the absence of a power supply.

It records on a loop just like the old VHS security systems used to do. Once the drive is full it starts recording over the oldest video on the drive. No need to delete or format the HDD.

No, it does not have an internal hard drive. It is a DVD Recorder/ Player only.

No it doesn't. Only recording to mini tapes, the pictures go to a memory card.

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.
