Can this be used for stop motion videos?

No, I don't believe it can. This camera is great for a kid, but really not good for much else. It is very basic.

I am not 100% sure but here is a link to the user manual. http://www.vivitar.com/files_products/417/DVR_508_Camera_Manual.pdf

Hi, the camera can replay your recorded video in slow motion. It is best when used in a brightly lighted area (outside in daylight)

I have only used this device to capture video from VHS tapes and import it into Pinnacle Studio for editing. Do a Google search and you will find the instruction manual online available for download and study. That might tell you what you want to know.

Not really. It is designed as a flexible and good recording/webcam. There is nothing that activates it through motion. It is very good at what it does but I think you may be better served with something designed to a surveillance camera's specific job...

yes absolutely! The software is awesome... I am an art teacher and I am using this at my studio to do a claymation project. I would say the web cam is not awesome a regular web cam for you computer is better. I would highly recommend it for stop action, claymation or illustration animation. I would also recommend a book on how to set up a stop action animation project re: lighting etc...

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

I would say definitely YES. What I like about it is you can use it in the function mode that only takes pictures when motion triggers it to take pictures, or you can use it in the "time lapse" mode which will take pictures at intervals that you set (10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.). I like setting on the mode that takes pics using both modes, triggered by motion and time lapse every few seconds. I also like that you can use a "Python" master lock and cable to lock the Primos Truth Cam to a tree or post so it cannot be stolen.

I suppose it could, but its not going to be the most effective because of its size and likely the camera weight on top of it. If it were me, I'd look for a more conventional method such as a smaller camera that's designed for such an application.

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

I actually do not know, I haven't used the video feature very much, and when I have, I have used it outdoors. I will have to test this. I will post my findings after I try it out!

That would depend on many things. The size is not as important as the resolution (how much data is needed for each frame). It *should* work fine but you will never know until you try it. If it does have a problem you can convert the video to a lower resolution (if the data rate is too slow), disable background apps (if the rendering is too slow), it really depends on the situation.

I would not use this for video work. The head is not very fluid so you can not track well.

Yes you ABSOLUTELY can!!!! You just press the OK button to pause and resume recording. You press the Video Camera icon button to STOP recording completely. Hope this helps.

If you are having flicker issues try this program you can test it before buying. http://www.revisionfx.com/products/deflicker/ Good for stop motion and timelapse and issues related to man made light flicker.

I haven't tried it, but I expect it to be one long scene. Though I don't see why that'd be a problem as you'll be using iMovie to start and stop the recording - so you have control, just not from the camera.

Not sure , I use it for construction time lapse and you cant edit it , that's a pain.

Have never used it with video but I don't think it would be very good as the maximum distance is only about three to four feet.
