Transfer to a computer Would there be a way to transfer and capture an image on the computer - maybe use a video camera with av input/output?

There a couple of different ways. I actually own an external video-capturing device (Studio 10 / Dazzler) that allows me to plug a typical yellow RCA jack into my computer, and I have software to record the feed into a video clip. They have cards you can install on your PC that do the same thing too. Or, if you have a digitial video camera with an input jack, you could run it right from the toy to the camera (or from the toy to the TV, and a second cable to connect to the camera), and record it directly on to the camera as a video file. Then transfer the video clip to your computer like you usually do. There a couple of different ways.

You could use a video capture card (in your computer) if you have one, but a video camera will work also. If you have a video camera that can connect to the computer (firewire, USB, etc), then that will work as well and you won't have to buy anything.

Here are instructions for transferring photos/videos from your Esky to your PC. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/photo-video/3462376/how-transfer-photos-from-camera-laptop/

I can think of two definite ways to record to your computer. 1.) Your computer runs an FTP server. The camera's built-in software has options to upload photos to the ftp server either periodically or only when a motion event occurs. 2.) You can install 3rd party software that will read and record from the camera for you. I've used iCam myself but there are plenty of options in this case. As far as playing on your flat screen, realize that this is a network camera that has no video output lines. You either need a smart TV with a built-in web browser so you can access the camera's built-in web server, or you need an intermediate PC to retrieve the images from the camera and send them to a video-out stream which you would feed into the TV. Alternatively, if you have a gaming console with a web browser, such as the internet browser supplied with the Nintendo Wii, you may be able to browse to the camera's web site from there. I'm not sure if the Wii has all the right plug-ins to play the video feed though. I think it only needs javascript but I'm not sure.

USB flash yes, I haven't tried all file types but definitely mp4 and avi. Not sure what you mean by PC input. It will take an HDMI output from a PC. Most newer computers have HDMI outputs.

I don't believe so. The camera has only one output- the USB thumb drive. Any real time capture from that would likely cost many times the value of the camera.

if the camcorder has a S-video or composite RCA output it should capture the video to your PC and then you can copy the saved digital file to a SD card

Since it is analog and not digital, you will need a converter to hook up to your computer to capture the video. I use the ION Video 2 PC Analog To Digital USB Video Converter for PC on my Mac. It is simple to use and does the job.

I kinow you can capture an image with the camera and use it like a power point. I never had it hooked up to send images to my computer. So I'm not sure how to do that.

I can't say for sure if the software will work, but that won't matter, if you're planning on getting some kind of extra software you will be fine. You'll be able to get the video on to the computer no problem.

The short answer is ... 'no'. As DrDon explained previously, the device is basically a capture device that converts the output video signal from your TV, XBox, etc into a file that can be saved on the connected computer using the software that comes with the device. You can then take that file and copy it from the computer to an external drive if you wish ... or you can record directly to an external drive connected to the computer which is actually how I do it.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, you can use the included USB cable to transfer pictures to your computer.

This being an analog camera needs a display card installed into a computer so that the image can be displayed on the monitor. From there I don't know how you can capture the image and send it via the internet but I suppose it can be done. However, why go to all of this trouble when you can purchase an IP camera (that has a noticeably better image) and utilizing it's IP address send it to any computer in the world. Additionally, the IP camera is the same price but also admittedly, it is somewhat harder to set up but with all of the help on the net you can do it....I was able to. Good luck but you really won't need it to get some nice video of the traffic in front of your home using an IP camera.

Hello, yes you can hook it to a computer, I view it on a computer,you will need a program to record it, media player might not do it. You will need a 12v plug and possibly a bnc connector to convert the video end to plug into your computer.

I have never tried it but my understanding is that if you can login to the camera you can take a picture or video and save it to your computer.

The camera should have come with a cable that plugs into the camera at one end and the computer at the other. You just plug it in and then turn on the camera and it will upload a program to your computer and then a little window will appear that asks what task you want to perform. You choose download pictures and it will put them in your computer. Only takes a few seconds!

Yes. It transfers images to your computer via usb cable. It appears as a removable drive on PCs and as a Device on a mac. You can import them in several ways using any photo capture or transfer method. Also, as previously mentioned, you can remove the card and transfer images through an External USB card reader or a card slot built in to your computer.

Yes. You can transfer photos to any computer or even a tablet. Use a usb with a micro end that goes into the camera. The charger that comes with the camera can be used for transfering photos. No need to buy a new usb.
