Does the camera have to be connected to the DVR or VCR or TV at the location where you are spying? If so, will be hard to hide it.

Definitely don't have to, you could run wire to a device like vcr, security recorder, or any other devices. Another option instead of running wire, get a wireless device that connects to your recorder.

Yes, it must be connected to the VCR in order for you to play back on the TV. Yes, it can be hidden! I hide mine between a piece of figurine or you can hide it in a toy, a vase with artificial flowers, etc. Use your wisdom. You may hide it otherwise by attaching the battery, BUT!!! you will not get much battery life!

Yes, if you look very closely you can see the camera, but mounted on the ceiling you would need a chair or ladder. It works great in a lighted room. It does not work in a dark room. You will need a DVR if you want to record images.

Not sure what you are asking; but, I keep my cameras plugged into my home desktop computer all the time. I can see the cameras from any computer/phone, anywhere at anytime and monitor my home. I would guess you don't need to keep it plugged up all the time, but the cameras do record to the computer when ever there is motion, as long as they are plugged in and on.

You need internet service with a wireless router to connect the camera in order to view it on your computer or smartphone. It's a very simple setup and once connected you can view the camera where ever you are. You can make the camera private (as I do) or public so anyone can see what you are monitoring.

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

Unless you can run a DVR through a computer, they don't use DVR. they use IP addressed and VPN. You can watch from your phone or computer. I can monitor from my office everyday.

Hello, US Law prohibits audio recording in covert/spy cameras. Video only.Thank you,Sleuth Electronics LLC

Thank you for your inquiry. No, you will have to activate privacy masking on the DVR. The OSD is used for adjusting the amount of light the camera receives while recording video.

It just steam to computer for real time viewing. If recording is desire, then u would need a program like securityspy or sighthound video and many other program could do the recording on motion detection.

i have a regular monitoring camera attached to it. since it is a little heavy, I used a couple of screws to hold it on the base (since it has just a plastic clamp) so I decided to do that for extra support. the camera is hooked to a TV thru RCA cables, so far the unit has worked fine, only negative aspect is that sometimes I wish it can move faster..

This item is not a recorder at all. It is simply the input side that gets audio and video to another device such as a recorder or monitor for viewing. Yes, anywhere you want to place the camera will require the running of wires from the camera location all the way to the recorder or monitor.

You need a dvr with Internet access to connect the camera to most dvr now have that feature. If you want just a camera you need to install an IP CAMERA.

You have to use your imagination. The camera is meant to be concealed in something (box, basket, ceiling tile). The only thing that should be visible is the lense, which is very small. The wires can be concealed in the wall, ceiling, or any other way.

No. The motion detection would be controlled by the DVR. This is a standard analog camera with infrared for night vision.

As others have said, it depends on the DVR. Usually if the DVR can be connected to a network, you can make the necessary adjustments on your router (e.g. port forwarding) make make the DVR "internet visible". There are dozens of free apps for viewing live video streams.
