How do you store or capture video? Is there a motion option?

The camera comes with a software for PC that allows you to record continuously, by schedule or upon motion detection. You can record from multiple locations as well. Best thing about it is that you will not have to pay any kind of monthly fees like other cameras that uses cloud storage recording.

I have never been able to get the camera to record more than a few seconds of video. I have not taken the time to figure it out. I think that I should not HAVE to figure it out. You put in an SD card, you record, you replay, you're happy! Not this one.

Yes, it can record when there is motion. The preferable way to do this is through third party software. Blue Iris for PCs and Evocam for Macs are video security programs designed to do this and more. They provide a better interface to your camera(s) than using the onboard software and a web browser. They will write the video where ever you wish including dropbox.

So what your saying is this device has no internal storage? I have a Passport 500GB, can't I just set up on the Motion record and delete every other day?

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

You can use third party apps to actually save the video files otherwise all the foscam software allows you to do is view live footage and snaps pics when motion is detected. I use a program called sighthound that works pretty we'll. Allows you to save recorded video to a computer hard drive or a cloud service.

Sorry about the late response, using the Roxio Game Capture software you purchase (with the capture card) you can hit a button that says "Capture". This will capture the video through the capture card and save it in a dedicated location on your computer.

As I know, there is no special function needed for stop motion recording. Some kind of remote control may be desirable (and is not included). Good luck

Yes. Once your video is on the track, you can pause it and click a small camera icon under the viewing frame to capture a still image. I'm using PD13, but prior versions have also had this capability.

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

Hi Cynthia, the length of recording will depend on the size of the micro SD card you install -takes up to 32GB which should provide several hours depending on quality of the video. You can record continuously, at timed intervals or at a set time. It also will take snapshots when you tell it to. Lastly, you can record at will through the use of the phone app (both iphone and android). I have not yet determined how to record from motion activation.

Haven't done it myself but if you really wanted to you could set up a machine with a screen capture going and that would record all that was coming in - like Camtasia. Think you'd really need to tweak the settings to not fill up a 100gb/hour or something absurd

It has a small amount of onboard RAM to 'buffer' images or a small amount of video but there is no actual storage nor can you add storage (using an SD card or something similar). You can stream video off the camera and there is some (expensive) software that can save that video while its being streamed but you wont be able to actually store/archive on the camera.

It depends on how long you wish to save the footage. Generally the hard drive is adequate since once there is not an incident there is no need to save the footage and it can be written over. You can download footage of interest to the through the USB onto a flash drive, etc. The drive space can also be extended using the motion sensor feature in that only if there is motion the footage is recorded. I don't use this feature and the drive can store almost 30 days of footage. The only limitation is when it begins to record over old footage it erases the entire drive and begins again so old footage is lost. It depends on how long you wish to save the footage.

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

It records on your computer or with the SD card. It is motion and sound activated. I use the SD card. It is an excellent buy,

yes it records in motion detection. It only stores it in the card and the recording time is limited.
