Can this be used for surveillance cameras to record? Thanks all, very helpful answers.

Yes. But make sure the video output connector of your camera is the old standard type Rca. For long recording purposes I would suggest to use systems based on hard disks or solid state (flash) memory and then copy to Dvd only what you want

Yes, but only for one camera, plus only for 8 hours maximum without changing discs. That is not too practical for most security applications. DVRs designed for this purpose are much better as they have more features and allow much longer recording times.

It will be perfect for that. Unlike other cameras where you cannot use it for surveillance because a human will see the read light when it takes a picture, this one does not show the red light,... yet takes good pix at night. So that is why I bought the cameras...because it is good for surveillance.

No. This would be good to clip in your pocket to record you confronting vandals. but as far as an outside surveillance camera it wouldn't work.

I don't see why not. I think it would record fps for anything that would fly over the sensors. I have never tried it though.

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

no, it is for cameras. Maybe if the connectors were adapted, maybe. It would not be as functional as a dvr for satellite or cable.

Yes it can, but please be aware that it may be illegal unless you get the expressed verbal consent from the person you are recording.

I don't see why not; I haven't personally tried, but I believe it will record on whatever type of media you have it (your recorder) set to record on. Goodluck!

I use this as a wireless mic for video recording interviews/podcasts/etc. I recently tried to tie it in with an amp/speaker system for the speaker at an awards banquet and had no luck. To be honest, I had very little time to attempt to figure out a way to make it work. It may be possible. It just didn't work for me in that capacity.

I have not tried this, so I do not know. I only use it as a "surveillance" camera for my dogs.

This will record over video but u can only specify one camera to record. U can have up. 4 cameras but only one will record.

I have never used it to record anything other than close person to person and telephone conversations. Works well in both those cases.

Yes. You will need a special DVR card in your computer or a computer based DVR. The DVR card will also need to accept BNC video connection which is common for surveillance camera.

Camera records as long as there is an SD card in it. Without the card it beeps constantly. I would say no, cannot use just as a light.

I'm not really sure. I hooked it to a camera that looks like a fire alarm sensor to cover a break area to catch a vending machine vandal. I'd think it would record from any type of camera if you use the right connectors. I can tell you it is not built for the elements so would have to stay in a van or indoors. Wish I could be more help.

Hi there, This cable will work on any security dvr/recorder/monitoring system as the standards are set to bnc type connection,,,,no matter how old or new the device is. The only drawback is cable is very thin, not like the one that comes with cameras, however the build quality is o.k. I am using it for the past 7 months and do not have any problems. Only time will tell how long it will last. Thanx
