Will it record if I plug in a USB hard drive?

No. It can only be backed-up to a usb drive unfortunately, It takes a sata hard drive, check the specs before you buy one i know these units are limited to the size of hard drive you put it so you cant even just stick a 4 TB drive in and be good for a long wile.And i wouldn't use the wipe when full fetcher every time i use it it deletes all the footage from that day & starts recording fresh.. Witch is not what you want, should just let it get full and do manual back up to usb drive so you have backed up footage to look back on if needed.Or you can have it FTP to a google drive or an FTP server i think. I know you can have it send snapshots through ftp on motion at least.

I found the same thing as Angie to be true. If I started it recorded prior to plugging it in, it would record. If it was plugged in first, then it wouldn't record.

No, not aware the compatible receivers record. You can add an external hard drive to the receiver & use it as a DVR. The receiver must be on all the time for it to work.

Yes. You will have to connect it through a pre-amp to your recording device.

Yes, as long as your drive uses a USB connection. I used my WD My Passport external drive to save recordings I wanted to keep permanently.

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

Make sure your external USB drive is formatted for DOS. If you're using a Mac and the USB drive is format Mac OS Extended, the record function wont work.

Yes, if plugged into a wall charger or an external battery pack, it will still record and stream.

No, but I do have to insert it in my USB outlet located on the front of my computer to listen to what it has recorded and to recharge the device. I am still new with using it and hope to learn more soon.Once the device is charged and in the "ON" position, it starts recording anywhere you have or leave it.Each recorded session can be copied to your hard drive.They are right about the sound quality--it's pretty good!

Ya know I haven't tested it. I would imagine it does so if there is an event that happens definatly pull the record off of the mem card and save it to your computer.

This unit does not come with a hard disk. You will need to connect a memory card or USB hard drive to record. Hope i answered your question.

I don't think so. It records just like the sound on the tv programIhope this helps. It has been so long since I have recorded anything.

Yes you can add a hard drive (I put a 1 TB SATA) and then set it to record to it.

Yes, you just stick in in the usb slot it will show up as a drive, you open that drive and you'll be able to see all the recordings. You can then save them to your computer and name them so you'll remember what was on them.

it should just be plugged in via USB and the unit has to be on, but it should just look like a flash drive with your recordings on it.

It should as long as your recorder has a tuner. I can record from rabbit ears.
