Does this equipment records one camera and then records the second camera... until goes back to the first camera or records all cameras continuosly?

It records them at the same time. When it comes to looking at recorded/saved files, it will ask you what channels you want to view and displays accordingly. So it records all of the channels at the same time, and plays them back at the same time, but you choose which ones to view, be it one, five of them, or all, etc.

It records each channel continuously or you can set to motion. You do not loose ch2 recording if ch1 is recording. All ch. are independent. Great system!! And when the hard drive gets full it bumps off the oldest.

It records continuously. You can set it to record in 2 min, 3 min , 5 min loops. For example, if you set it to the 3 min loop, after the third minute it will start all over again and record a new loop. I recommend getting a 32 mb sd card so that you can store a lot of footage in case you need it. After you exceed the space on the sd card, it will delete the older files. This device is great but it has terrible instructions. You have to play with the settings on your own to figure everything out.

You have to switch back and forth between cameras. It doesn't have split screen where you can watch both and listen. Although switching between cameras is done by pushing one button and then it does switch between cameras on its own. There must be a timer or something. I hope that makes sense.

I only bought this as a replacement camera and never used two cameras at the same time. Sorry to not be of assistance.

No, if: 1. You are using 9 or less cameras on the same network. These cameras support SD card recording, and the browser plugin and mobile app allow simultaneous viewing and management of up to 9 cameras. 2. You are using more than 9 cameras, but don't need to centrally view and manage all of them at once. Each camera can also simultaneously record to a designated computer on their local network, in addition to SD card recording. Yes, if: You want to centrally view and/or manage more than 9 cameras on the same network, or view/manage cameras that are on separate networks.

Yes. the way it works is when you look at the monitor it has a split screen of all of the cameras, a small running man appears in the top corner indicating motion for that one camera. you can also set it so it only records during motion which saves space.

Supposed to .. however, foscam doesn't offer additional cameras. You have to buy another set of camera and monitor.. Then you can use on monitor for both cameras or one camera per monitor .. I tried, but you can't have both monitors on both cameras .. as soon as you try to sync the second monitor, it knocks out the first >>>I feel, that with the information given to me in the details of this Item that you should be able to buy additional cameras .. but you can't ... They need to tell you that before you purchase .. because it says that it will work up to four cameras .. Im sure it would if you could get four cameras without having to buy the monitor also.. just saying !! Supposed to .. however, foscam doesn't offer additional cameras.

no...once the unit is full you have to delete items first to record again....that is if the unit works...my unit has already failed and will no longer record. considering the price of the unit I would not waste your money buying this particular unit

A lot of times it depends on the screen. I have a forward facing camera, and three rear facing. On the rear view screen, I do not have to use mirroring option. The image is correct. I also have a digital quad processor, which is what you use to connect multiple cameras for security to see them all at once. That unit I have to turn on the mirror option in order for the recording to come out correct.

Yes you can. Both for android and ios platforms. The installer i beleive is included in the cd that comes with it. And yes it records all cameras at the same time. Be mindful that the recommended hdd sizevis 2tb. Hope this helps.

Hi, DL. If you have multiple cameras, you can either select each one individually or have it automatically cycle between them. While cycling, it will show each camera for about 10 seconds at a time.

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

No, you can switch between each camera. Or you can put it on scan mode, which cycles between cameras I believe every 10 seconds or so

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

This will record over video but u can only specify one camera to record. U can have up. 4 cameras but only one will record.

You can record on all 8 cameras at the same time. It depends on the quality of video you choose for all 8 cameras. The best thing to do is set up the cameras for motion detection. That way it uses up less space on your dvr and you're more likely to get 30+ days of recording time.
