You will have to try different light etc. I do not know about low light or nights. During daylight it works just fine

I have used this for 6 months, and the video is very good, do not see any problems when moving, but if you are looking for something to capture alot of movement, I might suggest a faster camera.

I don't know I have forgot to use it and I do not have a computer sorry I couldn't help you but the idea of recording sounds great.

I wouldnt see why not- it merely shows up as a storage device. It comes with software as well, for drivers, ect. to use it as a webcam. For the price, it's quite an incredible camera. I have taken video on my bike at some interesting speeds, and the quality for such a little, inexpensive camera, is amazing!

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software.Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night.Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

this is a switch, you would need to have a NAS/hard drive to record the camera video, or use a camera that can act as a server and send snapshots of events like motion detection to your email etc.

You can put the app on a number of phones to monitor the camera. But having the camera now for two weeks i would not recommend it. The user interface and application are not highly functional and I have been unable to find a way to get it to capture motion events. The documentation stinks. I was trying to buy something cheaper than a Dropcam but I am afraid I will have to shell out more money for that.

This was a gift that I totally researched on U-Tube. I bought 2010 x-mas. Son takes it on all vacations, beautiful for everything, never mentioned lighting problems. Check it out on u-tube, there are lots of videos about the recorder, they shoot it where you can actually see the results first hand. Maybe you will see a low light or night time video and they also take it out of the package and go over everything with you first. I found it the best deal and the best recorder without complaints, my son has it 4 years now.

Good evening, the recording time will depend on the amount of memory that you put, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes.Recording until memory runs out, the battery does not last long, you should buy a backup.The videos are excellent.

yes you could record that long because I have mine setup for security purposes and it works fine. and I have co-workers that record long class seminars and I haven't heard any complaints from them

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)

The field of view is so wide it is almost impossible to screw up. Straight and level, and you should be fine. Take a test ride, view the recording, and see if it covers what you want. Cannot be easier.

Not sure, it is of lesser quality than I expected. Sound system wouldn't be very good for recording if it did have the option. It is more for juvenile use where they don't care how it sounds.

With the $3.99 upgraded app, one may record the video locally. I have not tried it though.

It is good enough for casual recording and youtube quality. If you want better quality, you need to consider Vado HD which is more expensive.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I haven't used it very much. I have made a few recordings and they look great. Hope someone else can answer your question for you.

There is no built in camera, and android is not the best at adding new hardware. I would recommend getting a Raspberry Pi if you want a cheap thing to use as a camera DVR. You can get one for less $40, and add a cheap USB camera to it. It will work great, and then you can also use it for any other server stuff you need/want.
