im new to this stuff so this question might be stupid but if we leave the house and want to know who is coming in, do it record so we can watch it when we get home???

well if they come in before the battery dies, or if you actually get one that works then yea. My advice is that you should spend more money on a better brand

I don't know. I sent mine back when I found out it didn't show on my TV or phone real time.

The camera needs to be located near your wireless router. Mine are about 200 feet from the router and both are outside of the house. You can watch the output of the cameras from any internet link. I have software called "Vitamin D" that records the video and lets me monitor on my PC at home. On my iPhone I have an app called Pro Surveilance and it works great. I can watch my house from anywhere.

No it does not, the only way to record one channel while watching another is to split your cable (or other) connection cable one to unit one to tv or box.Ive not run into any that do that w/ out splitting.If you have a tv w/ digital tuner this shouldnt be a problem.

The unit should record the show from the original broadcast and it should play back exactly how it was recorded.I don't believe this unit has any extra "features." Leave those up to your TV.

No, this camera records only when motion is detected by its internal motion detector. It has no connection for external devices.

Hi, I installed this system about 2 weeks ago. It's great but no, you can only view the live stream from an iPhone. To review recorded footage, you will need to do it on the DVR connected to a tv/monitor. Hope this helps.

Only if you sit with it and fast forward through the commercials on your dvr remote and hit stop on the dvd recorder. Or just let it record you fast forwarding. I just dont worry about it. I just hit the ez record button untill it displays 30 min or 1 hour after hitting play on the dvr and come back in an hour and do it again. Note: You need to set up the recording mode to fit your space needs. I do the one that lets 2 hours on a single dvd and it looks crisp.

hii read that this device has a blue light that comes on to let you know it's secretly recording....if that's so then the scene or screen changes somewhat. that's something i'd notice if it came on whenever there's movement. please clarify.

I believe it does. I don't have the option enabled, but I saw it in the menu when I was doing the setup. Right now I have it set to just record when it detects motion.

Yes on both accounts. You can FF when watching the video recording and you can set it to notify you when motion is detected and on what camer so you can go right to that camera and remote view.

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?

When you program it to record a show, it will turn itself on to record the show and then back off when done. If you want to record something that's already started, change to the right channel, and just hit the record button.

Sometimes ...It depends on the remote control features which are supported for your DVR. I have a TIVO, and can watch recorded programs on my TIVO from my PC. From my android phone I have difficulty starting a recorded program, but once started, I have little control other than returning to the menu.

Yes, I record off of mine all the time. However, do not set it up to record (with the timer) from the DVR with a Premium Channel like HBO; any other channel works okay.

I don't know how it does it but, the camera records video clips perfectly when motion is detected. It records you just enough before and after motion is detected to give you exactly what you need to see. You will have to adjust sensitivity to tweak the camera based upon your installation location, very easy. I absolutely LOVE this product!!!

No, you need software to record. Good software really is key to recording and motion detection, especially on these cheaper model cameras.
