Does this record video, or do I need to purchase separate software to do that?

Manual says it does, but I have not tried it myself. It is not always recording though. You need to turn it on manually and it would generate a file that you would save on your PC.

The unit does not record video but your computer can. Software is available from many vendors for free or at cost to record the output or you can have the units send snapshots of activity when motion occurs.

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

Except for I bought this model and mine records audio and video together. It's an option in your video recording menu to allow audio & video to record together. Only allowing video, however, allows for much more recording space

does this camera record videos with audio? how soon it'll record the next video?

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.

I don't use the software that it comes with, I copy the files to the computer after connecting as an external drive and then edit it using iMovie or Windows Movie, depending on where I download it. It's a gr8 camera for the price and works for all home video scenarios.

Yes it allows video recording and you can use the software provided or you can use I spy a free video camera system software. Just go to www.ispyconnect.com

No. It records on micro SD cards. So add another $10 to $20 to the price depending on the size of the card you buy.

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

This records the video from a camera, deck, or other device outputting video. It is not for screen capture.

yes, you need software to do it, that does not cost much. BlueIris is the name of the software I believe, and it works wonderful. Records sound too if you want it to. I think it is 40$ for the software. The foscam site has a link for the software.

The software requires a separate drive letter for video storage. I have used it with a separate hard drive. I do not know if it will work with one hard drive which has been partitioned into 2 drive letters.

No this is just a camera. If you have a video capture card on your computer you can record on your computer. I bought a Q-see DVR and it records on it's own hard drive or on a separate computer using the software that came with the system.

It doesn't come with software, but you can download a great screen recorder called OBS or Open Broadcast Software on Twitch.tv and I use that for my youtube recording

No....this unit does NOT record, you have to simply purchase and run this device through a DVD/VCR Recorder...and connect the VCR/DVD unit to a monitor. That is what works for me... its low tech but it gets the job done and gets you results!
