Does this system need to be connected to the internet before it can be used to record or save data?

No, the internet connection is only for remote viewing. There is an app for remote viewing.

Dear Amazon Buyer, no, it does not have to be connected to internet. Only if you want to remotelly monitor via Apps or any other devise logged to internet. As an additional information all camera cables are same lenght so from console all cameras will be at same distance but in desired directions. It is not WiFi ready.

Each camera is set to record, data is stored on dvr per channel. Does not have to be connected to internet. Connection to internet is needed only if you wanted to connect to dvr remotely through smartphone or computer. I have not done it yet, but I understand you can save the recorded data to a computer.

Not that I know of. It seems like anytime it is plugged in with Internet access, it is on. Sounds like that would be the function of some outside recording device if that is your intention. This camera simply provides a live feed. Good quality audio and video for indoors.

Recording during the night does not require being connected to a computer. The device has a battery for power and a memory that will save about 24 hrs of data. After the recording is made you connect it to a computer via USB and download the file to the software that comes with it.

Internet service can be used with the camera. Large amounts of video can be recorded and, if needed, downloaded to the computerhttp://www.tenm3.com/blogs/?p=176

No, It is a stand alone system for viewing. If you want to record, then you can connect it to your computer or laptop. But you do not need wifi.

Yes. The DVR (NVR in this case) will work just fine with or without an internet connection. Without an internet connection you just can't access the video remotely.

Thank you. for recording, internal hard drive is required. unable to record directly to a cloud server or networked NAS. Regards

To get it to work(upload) on the computer it must be plugged in and set to record so I doubt it would but haven't really tried.

No. It only will record to the internal hard drive and doesnt have any way to load a shared or network drive.

Not necessarily if you have some other way to record. We have wireless Internet and we each have a IPhone. So we have our security system connected so we use our lap tops to record and see every thing live on our phones when we are away from the house. I think I read in the comments someone had recorded to an old VHS recorder.

No computer needed. This device is all inclusive with its own recording and storage software. I would suggest a bigger memory card for video storage though. You do not need internet if you are do not need to view from remote location.

Yes the Dvr need internet service in order you could see it on your mobile or using your pc!!!

As far as I'm aware this is just a piece of hardware and would definitely need to be connected to a computer to perform any scanning/saving functions.

The camera will record continuously without wifi or network if you pre-install a Micro SD card into it.

You don't necassarily need internet unless you want to be able to access the video from a remote location. If you have an old computer and a wifi router you can still set it up to record to the computer (with additional software) but unless you have these items laying around doing nothing, it would be more economical to purchase a hardwired system that comes with it's own dvr. Either way you would still have to be onsite to check the video.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and has a specific monitor. Since it is not ip camera , it can't be connected to computer directly.
