I am getting conflicting answers on the question of whether this camera requires a DVR for recording video. Does it have an SD card? I have no experie

You need a security monitor available any TV store. I find samsung one of the best. I have fore monitor monitors that cover the whole yard.

No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

This camera has NO video storage capabilities built in. It will only display a live view to a monitor unless you connect it to a recording device like a DVR.

i just purchase it and have not used. The recorder does not come with memory, so you need to purchase a micro-SD card. I bought a 32 gig card. The recorder has display for remaining time on card. A resolution recording setup at 1080 the recorder shows 279 minutes remaining at 720 resolution the display shows 540 min. I also grab an old 8 gig card and at 1080/69 min, 720/ 134 min.

These cameras do not have an SD slot of any kind. You will need some kind of DVR or Surveillance system that will connect to analog cameras. This is an analog camera. You could connect it directly to a monitor with a composite input but of course you wouldn't be recording anything.

This item does not have a built in recorder, it has an RCA video out connector to hook up to a separate miniDVR which those in most cases will record to an SD card.

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.

No, it does not. You're going to run into issues finding a security camera that supports video and audio as you run into legal issues recording both. Your best bet is to install an auxiliary audio device and record the audio separately. Check out the Louroe ASK4KIT#101 in my store. It can interface with a DVR for recording.

Yes, it does record to a memory card. In fact if you don't have a memory card it will not record.

the cameras only broadcast the video, it is the software and what you view it on that records, but you can record...Foscam dose make a similar camera that takes and SD card and records on the card. that might be and easier install for what you would like to use the camera for...

Yes, it requires a DVR as well to record the footage from the camera. The battery life is dependent upon the DVR's battery as well. We have a 3 or 7 hour battery FYI. We also have a few cameras that do not have any wires, but do not record for that long. Please contact us for details.

The C-DVR accepts cameras with RCA leads. Though it records onto Micro SD cards, it comes with a USB adapter. I routinely plug mine into the computer and copy files to a regular SD card.

If you want to see recording you need a DVR, there is no storage on the camera. If you want to just watch live video you can hook it up to any TV source with a analog input, you'll need a BNC to Video connector.

You have to buy the DVR separately. These cameras are for replacing your existing old cameras only. You need a DVR and perhaps buying a whole package which includes a DVR and several cameras will be cheaper.

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
