Do you need a hard drive to record or a USB

A hard drive or flash drive. But I honestly don't reccomend this system. Its very bad quality. Its very much worth it to go with a better HDPVR. The best is the Elgato.

Thanks for your interest in our product.Without a HDD, the DVR would only be capable of live viewing and live remote internet viewing; you would not be able to record footage or play back footage.RegardsMolly

Yes this needs to be connected to a power source and also to a security dvr with a hard drive. You can copy files to USB flash drive.

No, you can record with any USB Microphone that has the correct drivers and is recognized by your OS.

There is no hard drive. I suggest going to Western Digital's website and reading up on the features of this and the other units

This device, though named "PVR," is not in itself a recording device. All this device does is convert HD analog (from a cable box, for example) to digital and sends it to a computer via USB for recording. So, no, you can't connect a hard drive to IT, but you can connect all the hard drives you wish to the computer you install it on.

It doesnt come with any onboard memory for recording. You have to supply the memory with a a USB drive. The HD quality is excellent as long as it receives a good signal. For the best results you will want a thumb drive that has fast write speeds for smooth & seamless recording qaulity. Also, you need roughly 6 to 8 gigabytes of storage space per hour of recording, it varies greatly depending on the quality. It is recommended that you use a at the least a 16 gigabyte thumb drive for your own convenience.

thanks. actually not. For recording, it needs internal SATA hard drive. external hard drive can be for back up, transferring videos out. Instruction for hard drive installation:http://defeway.com/download/how%20to%20install%20a%20hard%20drive.pdf

Yes I use a Toshiba Canvio 1.0 TB USB 3.0 Basics Portable Hard Drive - HDTB210XK3BA(Black) . Can record up to a few weeks for a couple cameras after you configure the motion recording in the camera setup. When hard drive gets filled it will record over it self. I also have the hard drive hidden behind a lock door for it does not get stolen or tampered with in case of breakin.

it's a webcam, why should it have storage? you just plug the USB, and then use it when you need.... but if you are talking about other technic stuff, I am sorry i am not sure what you're asking about, to my knowledge, it has no storage

Whatever fits your personal need. I would do cloud storage since I'm on the go. But here are some of your options 1) External HDD 2) Cloud storage 3) USB sticks

to store your records you need a firewire cable and need to be connected to a video capture device that admit a firewire connection to capture the video in a PC

Yes...one of those micro sd cards. It is easier to just use USB (built in) & store on external hd or PC.

I'm unsure, however, I have connected a USB3 hard drive to the unit. I've found that even passport drives work well with the unit as it relates to recording even HD video and being used as a DRV. The only devise that seems to have issues when recording are the slower flash drives/USB Sticks

In an effort to keep the cost down the unit does not come with a hard drive or video cable. You can start out with a used PC hard drive but you should plan to buy a drive that's made to handle video recording. Even with the short falls you mention the unit is still a great value and allows people on a budget to build a decent system over time.

Karen, My daughter & I just put ours to the test for USB recording for the first time and it worked very well. A business friend gave me a standard USB 2-Gigabyte storage thumb drive for Christmas from his company. I would guess that you buy these almost anywhere nowadays. I had an old Yolanda Adams CD nearby and recorded the first song on it, "The Only Way", and it sounded awesome on the playback. Make sure that you are following the right procedure for playing and recording on the USB drive. Kind regards - mr. brown
