Can it record video in selfie mode, or just take still photos? My daughter is looking for a VLOG camera.

It does not flip so that someone can film themselves. We returned it because it lacked that feature.

Photos CAN be taken while recording video. But this option is not available during High Speed Movie Mode. There is a limit to the number of photos that can be taken during video recording.

It does record without holding it. It is certainly not the greatest quality video in the world but the camera has help up to my nine year old daughter for almost two years. She loves it.

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.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

It has to be in playback mode. Mind you this camera is really horrible quality. I don't usually bash things I buy but this thing was crap. Even my niece who doesnt know much about this stuff thought it was horrible. FYI

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

Tell the truth I haven't tried as when I shoot video the battery runs down soooooooooooo fast it is worthless. I would buy this camera if you are going to shoot videos. Mine will not hold the charge long enough to shoot videos unless you keep changing batteries. I am disspointed in the camera and have returned it twice to fix and still has not been solved. When it does work the video is clear as well as th pictures though.

You don't need any app to record if you are using an iphone or ipad other than the camera app that has a video option. Most come with one. The tricky thing I have found is that there are 3 settings or notches on the on/off switch. To a number of us who have bought one, it seems to be in reverse, the smaller image records the loudest sound where the bigger icon seems to record very little. the on button needs to be pushed up, not down.

with the foscam app, there is a button to capture video or take a still picture on demand. I just sent someone to http://wrice.blogspot.com/2013/06/recording-surveillance-video-from.html regarding setting up video capture as well from a computer.

If you use this with an iPhone app like foscampro or babycam that iPhone or iPad app will allow you to record by the push of a button. The web based version does not.

It's a video cam, not one for still pics. Simple to operate and you should practice your landings to be sure it stays operational, although mine has taken quite a bit of abuse and still records just fine. The media it uses is the same as the micro SD you'd use in a smart phone.

it has a front facing camera...in theory it could be used to record video with an app of some sort, though i haven't used it for that purpose as of yet.

It will record while plugged in however I have found it will only work if the camera is recording before it is plugged in.

It will record audio during video. Ive not triewd zooming so cant answer your second question. I have to say that as time goes by,m Im less enthused byb this camera. It was cheap, being an old model, but I dont think Id buy it again. It takes too long to zoom in or out and serches way too long to focus in lower light conditions.

Yes, it does take still pictures. You can either select the still pictures mode or take still pictures even while taking a video. There is a separate button on top which one clicks to take stills.

My daughter wants to take pictures of others as well as "selfies". You can't take pictures of other people with this device - only pictures of yourself or "face timing". Hope that helps!
