How does it record? Does one have to pay a third-party service or does it record to any laptop? I have a work laptop that I use but it is with me (away from the home router).

I have never tried it but my understanding is that if you can login to the camera you can take a picture or video and save it to your computer.

You can use third party apps to actually save the video files otherwise all the foscam software allows you to do is view live footage and snaps pics when motion is detected. I use a program called sighthound that works pretty we'll. Allows you to save recorded video to a computer hard drive or a cloud service.

The recording go to the hard drive in a compressed format H.264. The files can build up unless you maintain the storage. The cameras also take snapshots, these are stored as JPEG, like anyother digital camera. These too can add up unles you elete the unwanted ones, my suggestion is to use Blue Iris, you can set all the paremeters to how much it records and where and how it stores it..

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

The video stream is actually established between the WiFi module (in the camera housing) and your router. You can then tap into that video stream with a computer on your network for recording. Recording is done through Internet Explorer or a third party recording application. You can also push this feed to the Internet for live viewing remotely, such as with a mobile phone or tablet. Thus, it doesn't really connect directly to your computer. You will need to be on the computer for initial configuration. We have live tech support that can do all that for you via Remote Desktop.

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)

Sorry, can't help, have not tried to record with this machine. But there is a record button on the remote, so you must be able or that would not be there. Make sense.

It doesn't, but should. This product would be utterly fantastic if you could record directly to hard drive. I don't like monthly-yearly bills. Oh well--this companies lack of foresight is another companies opportunity. Yes--I feel wifi enabled home security will be huge in the future. I am currently working on a home security systemusing raspberry, or ardino. When completed I will post the free schematics on physibles.com

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!

I don't think it has a recording feature. I've read you can buy software to help it record but I haven't used it that way personally

I'm not certain. I do know from my post that if you just have a cable (with NO cable box or satellite box) you can't record anything since this product does not have an RF in port, so to speak. I suggest you visit the Toshiba web site and see if it can answer this question. Toshiba seemingly no longer has "live" tech support - it's ALL on their site. Booooo ! ! ! Good luck and hope I've been of some assistance.

Hello, we have yet to test it with Network Attached Storage, but if it's treated the same as an external hard drive, you can record to it but only on continuous recording mode. As it is right now, we support recording right to a PC on the network via IE browser (with ActiveX enabled) or iSpy, which is a third party IP camera recording application. We do have a cloud-based storage solution in the works...we're currently about 3 weeks out from going live with it.

I read it does not support an external drive. It does not record unless there is an internal drive.

on your wireless digital monitor their is a screen called, ( rwcord), on that screen, you can record for how ever you have it set up. 1. if you have a 64gb card you can record for a very long time. (their is a overwite on the record screen, what that means is, the if your card gets full, it well tape over, what was on their before, and the old recording, will be erased.) you can also schedule a record for what ever time, that you want it. it boils down to this, it is according how big your card is that you put inside your monitor. (when you buy a card in gb, it will till you how long it will record, in minutes. look at the brochure that comes with the card. they have less gigabit cards, and highier gigabit cards. go to amazon, and look for cards for wireless defender camera dvr's. they have all size gigabit cards, also look in your instruction book, which has a lot of information. that will help you also. jim in ohio, big_jim_usa_42928@yahoo.com

That may be more tech questions than I can answer. You may be able to do it. For example. I can use wifi and stream to my I pad and actually control the recorder from that.

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

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
