Can you download the recordings - if so, any fee or limitations. Any estimate on bandwidth usage?

Hello, Yes this is possible. You can download the recordings before they expire. There are no fees or limitations. This is addressed in the following support center article: http://support.homemonitor.me/customer/portal/articles/1104157.

I can't answer for certain, but as long as you can connect your recorder to your computer, I don't see why not. Wish I could be more helpful.

It really isn't what this device is designed to do. I'm not saying it can't be done--there are people who have modified this device to run Apache web servers and SQL databases. I know it can do some streaming of previously recorded material, but it isn't why I bought the device and I haven't tried it.

Yes, I think it's good for recording up to 12-14 hours.... Once you figure out the graphs, good information.... It only takes a couple minutes to download...

The video is stored in the Netgear Cloud. About 2gb per customer. It is downloadable therefore you can save it to your computer.

The supplied DVR and camera combination will work fine without an internet connection. However you will have to supply a monitor to view the recordings or live video feeds.

I would say that you should be able record some music from the Internet. You do have to format the disc unless your program does that at the same time as you download. I always format my discs ahead of time. These are reallyhigher capacity. I put pictures and text files on mine.

I have cable and can record, but the playback on my has been a B---h, can't seem to get the speed of the recording to sync with the speed of the playback. Don't get what the problem is.....haven't figured it out!

Unfortunately no. The recorder must be connected to the router that is receiving the signal from the cameras. The saved recording however can be accessed remotely using an app. A high speed connection works best. 20 mps +.

Since the recording is done at a PC that is connected to the same router, the recording time will depend on the size of your hard drive. Will use about 1GB a day and future model will have a rollover feature but not as of now.

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!

Haven't done it myself but if you really wanted to you could set up a machine with a screen capture going and that would record all that was coming in - like Camtasia. Think you'd really need to tweak the settings to not fill up a 100gb/hour or something absurd

I've done it, but it's not pretty. The streams go over your network uncompressed. So we're talking 15-20 megabits, depending on what bitrates your cable company uses. If you have that much upstream to work with, then it should be fine. I don't and I've been meaning to enable OpenVPN's compression to see if that works, but I have yet to try it.

No you can't record. It's good for Netflix, yourube, file sharing, music playing

We bought the Poloraid MP3 player for music at our church; therefore that is all we use it for. Being only 4GB, not too much video could be downloaded. However I can't really say whether or not it would download video.

I heard of Ispy dvr software that can be downloaded that does well for what you ask.

I believe that the software will check and complain but it will still work. You'll get a list that will show the features that will not work using the slower speed. I think you might lose some higher end HD recording features. You'll also see noticeable lag during playback. You'll probably be able to record in 720p, but not 100% sure.
