How can i have this camera store its recordings on a computer's HDD vs the internal SD card? Is there software to have a computer act as a DVR?

I am able to confirm that the NC-336PW is able to use a Windows XP Home computer's hard drive as a "NAS", which would eliminate the need to buy a memory card for the camera. I have outlined the steps in this review and in a couple of other places (the steps will be slightly different for other versions of Windows):

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?

As previously answered you can use a usb thumb drive to recod to. The unitg does no have any internal memory for recording. I use a 1T external hard drive. I find the the quality of rcording to be indistinguishable from the original.

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

According to product instruction: "It is possible to expand the available storage using an external hard drive. The hard disk must either be formatted with NTFS or FAT 16/32. Connect the hard drive through the USB port, and the DVR will automatically recognize it. To set the DVR to record onto the external hard drive , access the menu. Under REC tab, select REC device and choose USB....." Seems to me you can do what you seek.

Thank you for your inquiry. This camera doesn't have a built-in SD card to record video onto. Please purchase a DVR recorder to record video, and choose AVI when backing up your video file.

I purchased one and installed on my DVR box (SA Explore 8300HDC). The DVR recognized the drive and prompted for formatting the drive. Another reboot of the DVR and every thing works. I did not lose my previously recorded video. Thanks,--CY

You will need a recording device such as digital video recorder (DVR) that stores the video on a hard drive or a SD card.

Depends on how you configure it. I am saving video and alarm still captured to both a memory card in the camera itself, and across my local LAN to my Windows PC. By using both methods, I actually have two copies of the video. Easy access to my computer hard drive copy, but I pull the memory card from the camera to read the second copy.

This DVR allows you to record continuously 24/7 as long as you have enough room on your Hard drive. It does record all cameras connected if you choose to record 24/7. You can manually press the record button and will begging to record all cameras connected until you stop it or hard drive is full. You can also choose to record when motion is detected. Choosing this option, only the cameras that detect motion will begin to record, therefore allowing the hard drive to store only files in which motion is detected. Hope this answers your question.

Yes I use a Toshiba Canvio 1.0 TB USB 3.0 Basics Portable Hard Drive - HDTB210XK3BA(Black) . Can record up to a few weeks for a couple cameras after you configure the motion recording in the camera setup. When hard drive gets filled it will record over it self. I also have the hard drive hidden behind a lock door for it does not get stolen or tampered with in case of breakin.

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

I haven't tried it yet. But if my understanding is correct, it won't record live data to an external HDD... but you can archive recorded data from the internal HDD to and external storage device.
