can it shoot plain digital or is it only an HD recorder?

It can shoot plain digital images as well as normal HD movies. You just need to select the Photo mode on the screen menu and you are ready to go! The single images are as superb as the movie images! Good luck. Rick B.

This is an analog camera. You need a DVR to record or add a video server if you want to use a computer. You should buy an IP camera.

It depends on what you want to record. If the volume is adequete, it will record with no problem. I hope this helps.

Nope SD card is only to take low quality JPEG images. All video recording is captured to the DV tape or to an external HDMI capture device.

Hi, this Sony Compact Disc Player/Recorder, doesn't support recordings from a digital recorder. -Ely

no,it can only record and play back in 480p as the highest quality. any hd programing recorded will be down converted tostandard definition.

the camera has a firewire port (mini), standard for transferring/capturing HDV video. you could also use a signnal based capture device (component video) to capture the HD output.

No, this recorder is SD, but if you record in either HQ or SP mode, the resolution is high enough that it looks quite good upconverted to 1080p via the HDMI output om my 55" TV, but it's still not HD. Be sure to select 16:9 video aspect ratio in the menu so it will look right on an HDTV.

read the article on configuring a HDV editing station in DV magazine...you can capture uncompressed video from the HDMI port on this camera using the black magic intensity card but it is quite demanding on your entire system and wants an eSATA raid array etc.http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/best

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).

I've got to make an assumption that you are using a security system, and is the basis of your question. If your security camera has digital output, it can be recorded and stored on an external hard drive.

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

It records video but no audio. The picture quality is very nice. It is an effective peice of equipment.

What is the nature of your question? Are you going to buy one or do you already own one?The one I have does not seem to be able to record. I have tried several times and failed in every case. The unit apparently has recording software that can be accessed but not engaged. I think I hear a hard drive spinning... It could be a lack of ability on my part but I don't think so. There have been computers, digital cameras and assorted other electronic gadgets in my life for 15 years. - Lars

Digital and not good at all. This camera is pretty silly and expensive.... I'd suggest not to buy. I work with vivotek instead of toshiba: a better choice in my opinion

It's just a camera, no sensors no recording. My dvr allows me to set it to only record when there's motion but that is based on when the picture changes not any sensors
