Can this record with the LCD panel closed? Do any of you know if this 1080 version can record with the panel closed?

Yes it can. You have to open it and flip it so that the viewing panel is exposed, but it goes back to the flat position as if it's closed.

I have experienced the same lines on display when recording however when viewing the recordings on memory card on computer the images are clear. I have stopped trying to see what is being displayed on screen after all I am only interested in having video if something significant happens.

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

Yes, to access, you have to leave the monitor door open (careful!) and access the sliding a/v door. I use two 64gb PNY SDXC cards for better performance capturing HD video. Hope this helps, James!

Does your HDTV have an HDMI out port or at least component cables to hook up to the input of the DVD recorder? I doubt it does so it is highly unlikely that you could record from the TV. In order to be able to record anything you need an input source that has its own tuner, or cancels the need for a tuner, as this recorder does not have one built in, but without some type of input source there will be nothing for the recorder to record

Yes, recording at the same resolution is possible with either media, up to 1080i. I seem to recall a slightly different maximum bitrate but not the specifics and getting my hands on the manual is more trouble than I care to go to. That information is available online if you deem it important.

I could not get it to capture 1080i, let alone play back. Don't buy this product. I returned mine.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".

Yes you can. You have to hit the video record button on the back though. There is no record button on the screen.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

I really wish I could help you out there. unfortunately I never got the chance to try to record with it. Honestly if I were you I would look into this model with the FX, it will cost more but the cost is cheaper than getting an fx processor like that.

This is an analog camera system with 4 500TVL cameras - no HD. It's not clear in the description either but only two channels record in D1 - the rest are all lower resolution CIF. The "1080p" reference in the title probably refers to the HDMI output to the monitor. I am generally pleased with the video output of the cameras themselves, but the recorder leaves much to be desired since only two channels record in full resolution. I'd definitely skip this one.

When the video file reaches the end of recording memory the cam shuts off no round Robin record mode

The monitor needs the SD card to record only. Be sure to have the monitor and camera close together and sync the camera to the monitor as the instructions advise.

Hi, it was never fully functional. We never got it to the point where it could record. The screen went out 2 weeks later.

Howdy I attend a regularly meeting once a month. I record about hour to hour and half with no problems or shut offs. The sound is pretty good on the replay on computer. I have only used it twice since I bought it. I hopes this helps
