I got this camera &amp; a tablet(2 in 1) type device for a round the world trip that doesn't have a CD drive. Do you need the software to upload pics?

I believe it came with a USB cable. That's all I need on my desk top computer to upload pictures. I really do not now about a tablet.

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

You can access the camera through a web browser and set it up-- no software needed. Once it's set up, you do not need a computer running any software for it to record, save, caption motion, email, etc. You do need some sort of network storage (NAS drive) of course. The camera comes with a small CDROM which has a few utilities which you do not need, and two rudimentary security programs that can be used to watch recorded videos of multiple cameras. They are not very good and you will probably want to get other software for that purpose. The documentation on the CD isn't great, but it works. It's broken English, but understandable.

I received software which I installed on my computer. Not sure if one is able to download the photos from the camera without it.

Yes. The Tablet comes with a USB dongle that allows you to transfer directly from your camera into the pictures folder.

There's no software that you require. It does an offline scan into the card and later you transport the files into the system. So, it doesn't matter what OS you are using. Hope that helps !Happy New Year!

We have a newer model but we did have the camera you are talking about and all we had to do was take the sd card out and put it in the sd slot of our computer. I also don't know about a tablet.

The camera comes with a cord that plugs into the computer and when you do that a screen appears asking if you want to import the images and that is it. The camera comes with a cd to download a photo software program but that is not necessary. Hope that helps.

No CD, you shouldn't need any software if your computer has a recent operating system. The camera comes with a cord for connecting to your computer, or if have a SD memory card reader on your computer, you can just remove the card from the camera, and put it into the computer's SD slot (located near the USB ports), and the computer should read the card and have a program to open and view your photos. You will need to purchase a SD memory card to use the camera they are inexpensive. 8 or 16GB is sufficient for most, unless your going on a round the world tour, and can't download for awhile, other wise you shouldn't need more than 16GB SD card.

No software, really nice picture, doesn't use any kind of a storage . Camera must be hooked up to a dvr or capture card. Camera is analog

If I'm not mistaken this device has no internal storage. I believe you'll need an SD card to save images - that's what I did.

No John, there is no software of any kind included. This is just the "environment" for creating pictures. You will need a separate software to do what you need to do. Best regards. Felipe

you have to use a memory chip to save pictures....the device does not have any internal memory

Yes, even though the I did not use the included software. Just plugged the sd card into my MBP. I find that it's easier than using the usb cable and plugging the camera into my MBP. Used iPhoto, and several other programs with this camera. I was put off at first at the 'plastic' feel and build, but this is a great camera period.

Yes, you need to purchase an sd card to go with the camera. All of the pictures are stored on that. They can be transferred to the computer then. I have not tried it myself yet with the program. I'm sure it's easy to use.
