If recording to a local disk drive on a personal PC, would I still have to pay a fee?

No I do it all the time with my Mac. They have free apps you can download for this purpose

I dont know enough about computer to know how to do that so I didnt play around with the hardware too much. However, im pretty sure that if you use your own PC and memory there will be no charge. I pay like $7.00 a month for the website.

Hello. Yes you can record on local HDD. Or go to foscam website and download this user manual--01_IP Camera User Manual_English. Thanks

For clarification for my understanding, can it record to another system, or record a file in memory then FTP transfer the file to a PC supporting FTP services?

Hello, we have yet to test it with Network Attached Storage, but if it's treated the same as an external hard drive, you can record to it but only on continuous recording mode. As it is right now, we support recording right to a PC on the network via IE browser (with ActiveX enabled) or iSpy, which is a third party IP camera recording application. We do have a cloud-based storage solution in the works...we're currently about 3 weeks out from going live with it.

I don't think so ... the commands indicate that a disc is required in the drive before recording can begin. You should probably investigate TiVo.

Yes, it works like a regular USB drive. So recorded files can be deleted like regular files to free up space.

No, and that is a big negative with this product. You have to sign up to pay dropcam for their cloud based storage service ($30/month).

I would like to know also as sometimes when I record over 1 hour and 17 minutes it will not copy it do a cd; if smaller it will. So I have learned to stop at that point and start new recording if you want to transfer to a cd.

It is best to record on cd-r. Also, it depends on what was recorded. Some machines cannot play certain file formars

No, this plugs into a computer through the usb port and has to be ran from the software on the computer. If youre having a phone conversations you could use the mic on your computer to record it and then burn a copy with this drive. The big thing is having the software to record it. Once you get it recorded on your computer, then any CD burner will work to burn it to disc.

It depends on the size of the hard drive you are using on the PC you are recording with. You can use the included software or any off the shelf IP Camera software. This is just a camera and does not record to itself. Usually you can estimate about 1GB per hour of recording on just about any camera with average quality settings. I would suggest adding a secondary hard drive dedicated to storing your video.

I have mine recording to a synology disk station. You get 1 ip camera free but any other you have to buy a licence which will cost you 60 bucks per extra camera.

No, it's a separate policy, which, like I did, you can get through Amazon, but it comes from them [Square Trade]. I bought one on my external 3 1/2 disk drive (as I have old ones I want to use with my PC). If you have questions, you can contact them, as I did, either by email, or phone, they were pretty helpful on mine. Thanks for asking Jen, and have a nice day/evening, depending on when you sent this, and receive this reply.

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

None. You can buy an external USB drive or share a drive from another computer. We use our portable for that purpose.

I checked the information I was given and there are no other fees. Covered as long as it's the drive that is covered and it wasn't intentional damage.

You should be able to record to your computer through the USB to whatever recording software you are using.
