Do these cameras have the ability to record to my computer?

Yes! You need to purchase Blue Iris ($50) for Windows or Evocam ($30) for Mac to record to your computer. Both are very good with numerous triggering options: motion, sound, time and date, remote request, or manually. You can specify the folder to which the video clips will be written. If you have DropBox, you can dump the videos in your DropBox folder so that they are sent to the cloud and become available to all your portable devices.

They are NOT wireless cameras, that's why they have wires in the photo. They do have wireless capabilities, meaning, once you hook them up, you can connect them to your router and access the footage from anywhere, from your TV or phone if those devices are connected to the internet. You can hook these directly to your TV if it has usb ports or if your tv is connected to your computer system. I hooked mine to my desktop computer, because I can use my mouse to change the settings.

Depending on your camera. Yes. With an hdmi output from your camera to the monitor or you should be able to see what you're recording as you're recording it.

You need to have a LAN set up, the cameras can connect either by ethernet cable or wireless. You can record audio and video using Internet Explorer that you probably have already, the cameras also come with a separate Foscam Client program that will do it also. Be aware that long recording times will use up a huge amount of drive space, these are not meant for continuous recording.

No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

If they are CCTV / analog cameras, then you need to get a capture card, otherwise if they are IP camera its all done through a single internet / CAT5 cable

They are a Quicktime video file, so no you don't, the settings on the camera however are what you need the software for. It will film just fine, just audio volume and beep on and off. Stuff like that is done with the software.

As far as linking them to watch recorded videos, yes. But from what it sounds like you're wondering if you can link them to your computer as use of a webcam. The answer to which would be, probably not. As cheap as they are I don't believe they are physically built to do that, but if they are, you'll need some 3rd party application to use them as such. I wouldn't buy them if that's what you're looking to do as there's other cheap "spy cams" out there.

These cameras can not be viewed through cell phone. To display and record to a computer, you need install a video capture card to that PC (Intel PC only), and load the driver and program, like item http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Channel-Security-Surveillance-System/dp/B0044R75JE/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1314086790&sr=1-3

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

I believe you can. I have bought a memory card for it that you can upload them to the computer or use the port that's on the camera. My cell phone cord work and I can attach it to my computer. However I have not tried any of these but, maybe it will point you in the right direction.
