If there is no HDD, what does the video record to? Does it support an external USB HDD, a little confused. Thanks.

I read it does not support an external drive. It does not record unless there is an internal drive.

I don't believe it can record without the hdd. It will still work but only view your cameras. You need to buy an hdd and recommended size is 1gb to 2gb. Anything bigger or smaller will not work. Not sure if it can use external hdd as I have not tried it but heard that it can. Though be aware that the hdd will be formatted by the machine for it to work. Hope this helps.

Mine has a 1 ter hard drive. But it shuts off the record mode on its own. You have to keep checking it to make sure its recording. I would recommend looking at another brand. I wouldnt buy this brand again if I had the chance

The one I ordered came with a 1tb hard drive. It is installed inside the main unit. There is another model that doesn't come with a hard drive, but there is a list of drives that can be installed inside it.

It has a 1TB HDD, but the problem is not the HDD, it is the camera. Every time you unplug the power supply, the camera will lose wireless configuration. Useless.

Hi Bob, sorry for our later reply. this system is without hard drive, it could realize real time recording without hard drive, and it need hard drive to realize storage recording and playback function. Thank you for your great support.

Hi Thomas, the camcorder cannot save files directly on a computer while recording. It also uses the built in USB cord for transfer. Thanks_Mitch

OK, so if I have my external Blu-ray burner USB to my computer, and an external HDD USB to the DVR, I can record to the external HDD, then move the HDD to my computer to transfer video to my blu-ray burner would this work?

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

This NVR Kit does not have Hard Drive(HDD) included. Separate purchase is necessary in order to record onto the device. It will be available soon in our Amazon listing soon. Here is a full list of compatible Hard Drives in the link: http://ismartusa.net/FAQ/shownews.php?lang=en&id=44. Thank you

This camera can not store any video. It is just a camera with a microphone. You will need a DVR to store the video and audio. Don't get me wrong, this is a good little camera just no storage. Hope this helps.

Recording is done via a micro USB card. It comes with an 8 GB card but I added the 16 GB card. I have had problems with recording. It does not seem to want to really record over previously recorded files. Sometimes It will stop recording and I will have to turn off the monitor and then on again to get it to record.

thanks for checking with us ! The HD camera provides a local storage solution, recording video directly onto a microSD memory card with up to 128GB capacity (sold seperately). Set your camera for continuous recording or, to minimize viewing time and storage space, for recording only when motion events are detected. The saved video can be remotely viewed from any computer or Android or iOS device. And the HD camera also provide network storage solution, such as NAS & NVR drives, like Synology, ASUSTOR and QNAP. With ONVIF 2.0 compatible for systems integration, the camera can record to any NAS

The device has an hdmi output. I would think it is not copy protected, but not sure about that. If not, I don't see why you couldn't record to hard disk if you have a video card with software that supports recording over hdmi.

Not sure, I have never used it for recording. It does appear to be HD video feed onto the screen I view it from.

The unit does not come with an installed hard drive limiting it to live video only. It does have the ability to have a hard drive however you will need to buy one and add it yourself. Once the hard drive is installed then the box will record video for playback later.

You can plug it in to a DVR but recording will show nothing but "static". The operating systems are completely different in the 2 devices. However, if you connect this to a TV and then connect the DVR to the TV, you can record video.

Yes, i have watched videos off a usb thumb drive. I forget what video formats the TV Supports.

If this is from the External SD card to your hard drive, could it be that you used that card in another video recording device too? Or, if it's copying to your DVD drive, older drives may require conversion from AVCHD. I don't have such a drive, so I cannot test what the error message would be in that case. I sometimes use it to record in MPEG2 for use on older DVD players, letting the camera do the conversion. Maybe that's what you have to do.

Thanks for your interest in our product.Without a HDD, the DVR would only be capable of live viewing and live remote internet viewing; you would not be able to record footage or play back footage.RegardsMolly
