I use 2 Q-see pci cards. They are 4 channels each, so I have 8 cameras.See http://www.q-see.com/I use Q-see software which came with the pci cards.The software records by motion sensing, continuous, manually or timed.One channel of sound can also be recorded.The software will also monitor 16 sensors which can be window or door activated, and start the recordings.The software also allows me to watch the cameras from my iPhone.You can plug the video into any video recorder which accepts the RCA plug and record the video.You can plug the video into a TV which accepts the RCA plug and watch directly.There are many security recorders which this can be used with.Lots of options.I hope that helps. :-) I use 2 Q-see pci cards.

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

I would also add, that the BNC connector, is just the professional version of a composite camera connector. With an inexpensive BNC to RCA adapter, the camera can be plugged into any standard composite jack (RCA style) that you typically see on consumer electronics. For example, those little Red, White, and Yellow plugs on your TV or VCR or DVD Recorder - They are RCA Style (some people call them "phono") plugs, and Yellow one is Composite video. The Red is Right channel Audio, and the White is Left channel audio. In the case of this camera, the only output is Video, so no sound.

The camera has a standard BNC video cable and 12volt power cable. You can connect the BNC video cable to any compatible recording device. Typically for a home security system this would be a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) that can either record continuously or when it detects motion in the image. Search for CCTV DVR and you'll find plenty to choose from. I have a Zmodo 8channel (it can record 8 cameras at once and allows remote viewing from my iPhone or computer). Be aware that you won't get TV quality images with anything other than very high end equipment but I've been happy with what the Zmodo DVR does for home security purposes.

Hi Jame's Dad, Thank you for your inquiries! Recording Sound, or Not On the Dash Cam menu, you do have the option to have the microphone on or off. Just press the "Menu" button. Use the arrow buttons to move the selection up or down until to find "Audio Record". Press the "OK" button on the top of the camera to select "Audio Record". Use the arrows again to select on or off. and press the "OK" button. when done, press "Menu" to get back to the main screen. There is a Microphone image that will appear when sound recording is on. It will disappear when sound recording is off. Sound & Volume The best sound from the videos you record will be heard in playback mode on your computer where external settings can be altered. When playing the video back on the cam itself, there is a limited amount of volume the unit will be able to play back, but it should be relatively comparable to the unit you have received. Loop Recording with this model Dash Cam A 32GB SD card will record up to 6 hours of continuous footage (depending upon use). It saves the files in 2 minutes intervals, continually dropping the oldest footage. The camera also has a g-sensor and a panic button -- when pressed/activated the camera will lock the current video for one minute before and after -- these videos can only be deleted by formatting the SD card. Upon playback on your computer you can save the videos in 2 minute increments or as one full video (up to 2GB each). "Auto-Off" If turned on and plugged in while the car is off, the cam could pull from the car's battery. This depends on your car. Some cars will shut off power to these outlets while others will not. The camera normally will shut off automatically when the car is turned off. I hope that information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

Hello,The camera is located where the headphone jack should be, so all you need to do is set it on a surface and it will record video in the direction it is pointed at.ThanksGary

There is a on/off button on the left frame, long press it to turn on, then short press to take picture, long press again to record. after finishing, long press it again to turn off, then connect with PC, you will see the video in storage . if all not working, there is a hole for RESET, this is very important when you can not operate the device. find a needle press button in it, it will work again.

Hey Alex; the camera will ask you what's your recording destination (external SD card or internal memory) so you cannot record simultaneosly into both modes. Hope this helps.

This is probably a couple months late, but from the page, I can tell you they say: Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included). That is all I know. I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

After charging and pressing the power button, you should see and able to record. Try the car D/C adapter. If that doesn't work, then there is something wrong with the unit. One more thing, these cams are very sensitive to extreme temperature, cold or hot. Also, do you have a micro memory card in? If not, the unit won't work. Hope this help.

Sorry, can't help, have not tried to record with this machine. But there is a record button on the remote, so you must be able or that would not be there. Make sense.

There are instructions with the camera. You download a program from the website and enter the unit number. It links up. That is the only way to record the video. I had to leave the program open on my computer for it to record. The program is IPcamsystem.exe. It shows up as plugCAM on my computer. A friend did everything for me, so if you need more detailed instructions, just let me know and I will ask him for you.

I'm sorry, I don't remember for certain how mine worked...or didn't work. I sent it back after about an hour of trying to get it to even be recognized by my computer there was very little (if anything) that DID work the way it was supposed to. I suggest you do the same. Return it and remember...most of the time...you get what you pay for. I ended up buying a very nice camera I'm pleased with on ebay for something like $20-$30. Good luck.

With the video camera on, but not recording or in camera mode, do the following. Press the Menu button on the side of the camera. The following should be displayed on the screen. Use the UP and Down buttons on the side of the camera to highlight (not really highlighted) what you want to do. Use the REC/SNAP button to actually select something. Press the Menu button to exit.

You have to look on this camera on youtube. There are several very good videos about this model including all the items that come with it.

You can do to their web site (by googling the camera model) and download the instruction manual (in pdf). There are instructions in the pdf file on where to download the software to setup the camera.

I think you need to insert a Micro SD card for recording. If you plug the power cord to the cigarette charger, the camera will turn on and off automatically every time you start your car engine or turn it off.
