Can you turn recording on and off remotely? In other words, when connected to the internet can you start and stop the cameras?

Sorry, I am unable to answer your question because I am still struggling on the very initial set up. It just didn't start at all from the first day I got it. I made an exchange but the same problem still exists. Very frustrating. Sorry.

I have not been able to access recording on my phone. It is asking for an update.

We have not figured out how to work the cameras remotely if it is possible. The software that came with the DVR doesn't appear to work remotely. The software is limited. Maybe a different software? We are going to check into other software but haven't had the time yet. There is a Swann PC package you can load but we have not done this either.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

This can be turned on/off via the settings. But it has no function, so if the camera is working it doesn't matter.

Absolutely! Download iSpy video surveillance software (free - google it), Set up your camera on your computer or home network. No need to be on line unless you want to remote view (offsite) your camera.I have six cameras set up this way with no internet access.

The only way you can remotely watch the cameras are with an internet connection. The cameras have a dvr box that must be connected to the internet. Without doing so you can only see live images on a screen

No you don't need to manually switch it on/ off, when you start your car engine, this video Camera Recorder automaticaly run record by itself.

I never wanted it to not turn off, so I don't know. If I am watching a show while it is recording it will ask me when it comes to the end if I want it to turn off and I can say no. Or if I hit stop it will ask me if I want to stop recording.

Not sure about wireless capabilities since my system is hard-wired. However, some devices have the option to monitor the cameras using the Internet, but you'll need to have a switch or router connected to the recording device and configure accordingly.

The unit turns on when it starts to record a program. Right after you shedule a future program, you can turn off the machine with the relote. It should turn off, if it does not, either it is recording a previously recorded program or the unit is defective. The remote buttons are not very good. sometimes you have to press a few times.

Yes you ABSOLUTELY can!!!! You just press the OK button to pause and resume recording. You press the Video Camera icon button to STOP recording completely. Hope this helps.

You can use the remote to switch the camera on/off, take still pictures or start/stop video recording. There is no time delay picture function.

As far as I know, no you can't. I have had this camera for a year now and haven't found a way to turn it off

You need a dvr with Internet access to connect the camera to most dvr now have that feature. If you want just a camera you need to install an IP CAMERA.

There is no on/off switch on the mic, it depends on the software you're using to start recording or transmitting sound.

Yes! But I had to try it.. When the camera is set on Movie mode the remote will start and stop the camera. But if the camera is in a pic mode, pushing the red movie button for the start is not controllable to stop the recording via the remote. I started the camera with the red button and put the remote in front of the camera and pushed the STOP button - the recording didn't end. The remote was set on the single frame mode (left side of the slider). it does work from 100ft - at least for regular pictures. T in OH

Yes you can. You can operate the camera remotely if you put it in wifi mode. It's a bit of a hassle to set up, but it does work!

Yes if turned off it will no longer loop. You have to make sure you have a time set or it will fill up and stop recording.
