The recorded images can be viewed on your laptop by removing the SD card from the Covert Alarm Clock DVR and inserting into the SD slot on your laptop. It can also be viewed by plugging in the RCA cables if your laptop/computer monitor allow. Please see owner's manual for more information.

-The easiest way to view is to plug it into the laptop/monitor. Alternatively, you can also take out the SD card and put that into your laptop as well.

Yes you can. Only need to synchronize it with the laptop and you are good to go.

All I did on mine was just plug it in to the recorder. You could test it, plug it in turn the recorder on to record, say (testing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) stop the recorder hit play, if you hear the test it worked if not you need power.

I have the same question. What program can I use on my computer to access what is recorded when I plug the recorder into the computer?

I keep mine plugged in and it still records. Try starting the recording and then plugging it in.

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.

Pull it out from the back. Just unplug, turn, pull and wipe. If you don't take too long the clock stays set for you. It's easy!

Just move the two files in the set time folder into the usb disk root directory and it will run. It will sync time with pc clock.

There is a mini USB plug under the record button. There is a charger made for it. AND you can plug it into a computer USB

You would need separate time clock software in order to do that. Not to say that it can't be done it just is not intended for that out of the box. It is intended to replace usernames/passwords for logging into windows and other applications.

I get 2 hours record time on a charge which was enough to catch who I needed to lol butif you are looking to record all day I would definitely suggest a unit that plugs in.

After you select video from the main menu, push the vol +/_ buttons simultaneously for 3 sec to get into the hidden files menu. There you can select which file to view. You can view it on the clock itself.

I just got one and connected to my laptop with the USB cable that I already had. I was able to see the recorded files as .wav and was able to copy it without any problems to my laptop hard drive.

It is is USB camera/slave mode when plugged to laptop - you have to plug it into the car charger or USB power only charger, then you can operate the menu to change time/date.

Yes and no the alarm clock portion of the clock seems to work when plugged into the USB but the camera does not work while it is plugged into the USB. If it did it would be a super amazing device there would be no time limit on its ability to record.
