Does this camera actually record video or is it just meant for real time viewing?

It will record video and audio as long as the unit is on. If you turn off your computer that receives the signal, it will obviously not record. You can set it to overwrite old recordings if you fill up the allotted time. There are two settings to view recordings: one for motion detection, the other is straight recording- I do both. I can then fast forward, or slow forward in 6 second intervals.

Does the recorded video transfer onto the computer in one file? I have a spy camera that breaks the video into 7 minute files. I need something (does not need to be a spy camera) that has a time stamp and keeps the recording in one continuous file. Will this camera do this? If it doesn't any suggestions on another camera to consider?

The answer is "yes, depending on your recording needs". The camera can email short video clips triggered by timed motion detection - or, if your technically adept, you can set up a samba server to manage timed video uploads - or you can use top notch, inexpensive viewing software for remote viewing and manual recording saved to your smartphone, pad or computer. The last option requires that you set up an inexpensive ($19/year) DNS service. Your camera installation software will help you do this. Note: your wifi router should be a UPnP router. Apple routers will not work unless you are an expert technologist capable of working with port forwarding. All this may seem complicated - but it's not. My 4 cameras work using techniques 1 and 3 - and I'm a businessman - not a technologist.

It actually records video, you have several options, 1) always record, 2) setup a days/date/start and end time, or 3) when motion is detected. There are other features within the 3 options, but YES it records video.

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

You can view recorded video on the device. Video is lower quality. You can also plug it in with the provided cable and view video on your computer.

Yes, it is (at least for me) always closed when recording, and I only open the display when I need to look through video for playback.

It will record audio during video. Ive not triewd zooming so cant answer your second question. I have to say that as time goes by,m Im less enthused byb this camera. It was cheap, being an old model, but I dont think Id buy it again. It takes too long to zoom in or out and serches way too long to focus in lower light conditions.

Yes it will only record when switching between cameras or just one camera, but not two at the same time.

It is a dvr. It records the video to a hard drive. After it records the video you can go back and review the recorded video.

it has a front facing camera...in theory it could be used to record video with an app of some sort, though i haven't used it for that purpose as of yet.

No. What it does is, it records in 30 minute increments. There is no interfearance in the video. It's a very nice camera, you won't regret it. It's my professional opinion.

It stores the video on a micro-sd card. This is a low res camera and not the best choice for what you want youse it for. I use it to mount on my motorcycle and record the ride. It is ok for that, you tube posts that small Image display. Sound quality is surprisingly good. But video quality is just ok.

Yes, it takes videos. Because you asked, I just shot a bright morning mini-video. It looks clean and sharp. Go through the Mode button (top) to get to the Menu and select Video & "OK." Press the shutter to start the Video and press it again, to stop the recording. Most videos work best in a well lit situation. Don't turn your camera on it's side to do "Video" recording:) I bought this one for my Grandson to play with when he comes to visit. It isn't an expensive investment but good for a variety of different kinds of pictures. It is a little Pearl White no fuss camera, very compact. Large viewing screen and a little heft to it for it's size. Sorry to say, I already had another editing program that I prefer to use. I downloaded the "App" that came with this camera. It isn't an editing program but an "Easy-share." I checked out the quality of the pictures. If you didn't blur your pictures, even enlarged, they remain sharp and clear. (There is some "picture noise" but for the price, I think it's a nice little camera.)

Yes; it has a pretty sensitive microphone, you can hear sound on the live video feed, and it records both sound and video when motion is detected.

Yes, it shoots video, but the capability is limited, and it's not the latest technology. That being said, I've been very happy with this camera for several years.

The unit does not record video but your computer can. Software is available from many vendors for free or at cost to record the output or you can have the units send snapshots of activity when motion occurs.

No, there is no video record feature. But it plays just about every video file I've ever tried to play on it. I love mine. I use it all the time.

It records video but no audio. The picture quality is very nice. It is an effective peice of equipment.

This camera simply connects to a surveillance camera DVR. It doesn't record to itself.
