Yes it has to be plugged into the computer by USB. It records the call on to your local hard drive. The computer and phone can be separated by as long as your phone cord is able to stretch.

Not with the phone but with remote computer. With the phone you can take snap shots and record video clips but not watch prerecorded video from DVR drive.

No does not have to be on the computer, but it has to be plugged in. You do everything from your phone.

No it needs to connect via USB to a computerThere is also a set up process through the computer I assume wouldn't be possible with a phone

NO,only mic in and ear phone out. Probably you could feed it into your computer using the mic input.

yes. it plugs into a wall socket. To record your records, you need to use a jump drive. It does not connect to a computer.

I believe that the recorder is set to automatically record all calls. I turned this feature off because I want to select what calls to record. Most states have laws which require one to tell the caller that you are recording the call. The device works very well. The only drawback was that the CD with the software and users manual wasn't in the package. You need to go to the website to download the software and manual. The manufacturer was very responsive when I called.

I have not tired using it with a computer. I use it with an Olympus digital voice recorder. Plug it into the mic jack and insert the ear bud in your ear, then hold your phone to your ear like a regular conversation. The phone speaker sound passes through the earbud and it records your voice and the person on the phone with you. I suppose if you are using the computer to record, it is the same process. I've just never done that.

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

yes, unless you are going to use a computer or internet for making your calls, this does need to plug in to work.

yes you can but you cannot record with the DVR while plugged into a computer. when plugged into a wall outlet you can charge and record at the same time.

Just charge it, turn it on and it will record any time a sound is made. If no sound,it does not record. Playback on computer. It does not have to be plugged in to USB port to work.

Your voice and the caller's voice will be recorded. I don't think it is through this microphone though. The recorder itself, will record your voice and this microphone will record the caller's voice. Hopefully I answered your question.
