can this camera record? or is it just live?

The camera just gives a feed to the device you connect too. That device can just output a video signal or record if it has that function. But that is independent of this camera.

This is just a camera. If you want to record it's picture, you need to have some sort of recording device. DVR, VCR, or DVD recorder.

It's just a camera. If you plug it to TV it's live, if you plug it to a recording device (VCR, pc, dvr) the device will record the feed from the camera.

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.

Yes it will only record when switching between cameras or just one camera, but not two at the same time.

No, the camera itself does not record. It capture image only. You may record on your phone, ipad or computer. If you need DVR function, additional software needed for PC.

Hi Victor, Yes I am able to connect, view live and record videos from this camera on my computer but you will need a separate video adapter/cable and install software onto your PC. The camera doesn't come with those. If you buy the camera straight out, it comes with video cables that can be connected to a television or a computer with a video card that allows AV input. If you want specifics or technical details, you have to do some research.

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

Yes, there is a mode which you can record when there is movement. No movement, it would stop recording.

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!

This is my exact question. I bought the camera for video. We went to Costa Rica and although I switched back and forth between still and video, it only recorded video. The user guide doesn't shed any light on this problem. Luckily I also had my Canon ESO and a Nikon point and shoot. The still shots I took with this camera were when the other two weren't handy. Please, anybody, help!!!!!

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

This camera can record to an sd card, locally to your c drive or to an FTP server. Per the documentation it has to record to the SD card in order to copy to the other locations. You don't have to have special software as it has it's own user interface. It can, however be controlled by software such as Blue Iris. I have found foscam to be a little glitchy, but it is amazing technology for the price. Previous models didn't have the SD card and had to record locally or to an ftp server.. The sd card is a nice addition.

What is the nature of your question? Are you going to buy one or do you already own one?The one I have does not seem to be able to record. I have tried several times and failed in every case. The unit apparently has recording software that can be accessed but not engaged. I think I hear a hard drive spinning... It could be a lack of ability on my part but I don't think so. There have been computers, digital cameras and assorted other electronic gadgets in my life for 15 years. - Lars

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.

This camera is for live view only. If you set up and,capture images or,pictures when motion, it will send to email you set up at beginning (only if you set it up on very beginning of installation). There will be no video capture or recorder on this camera.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing. But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

Hi buddy. Sorry for the delay. No ,I believe you can record using the Software.
