If your internet or home network drops out for a bit, am I correct in thinking that this camera will still record because it has on board storage?

Yes, this camera will still record under no network. You just won't be able to view anything on your cellphone.

Hi the camera is recording all the time !! When it sees an alarm it keeps a time before and after alarm !! If it's been disabled it will not work if you lost Internet its lost the time it go's off till the time it gos back on !! The best you can do is have a back up eg with a card and a E M P S ( emergency power supply) but it is a good system !!!!

Yes, it WILL overwrite old data when the SD card becomes full. Additionally, it will resume recording when power is lost and resumes.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

No! And that's a huge problem for me because I use it as an emergency back-up and it was dead the other when I needed it:-( I do like it though. It records clearly. You just have to remember to charge it!

I've had similar issues with system. A short term fix is to reformat the hard drive (be aware this erases previous recordings.) I have read that setting up a separate router solely for the cameras and DNR would be a long term fix. That is a more complex task. I currently just delete or move files from recording hard drive when system slows down. Possibly more memory would help too. Hope this helps!

It's up to you. You can set it so it stops recording when full or you can set it to overwrite.

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.

Not that I know of. It seems like anytime it is plugged in with Internet access, it is on. Sounds like that would be the function of some outside recording device if that is your intention. This camera simply provides a live feed. Good quality audio and video for indoors.

If you have a Digital Video Recorder to store the images, and that recorder is off site or somehow made safe, then you have the images. Each camera feeds a steady stream of video, but it is stored nowhere, unless you make provision to store it.Note that to store even 5 frames a second takes an awful lot of disk space.

Yes. We've never used ours with the internet feature. We don't view it remotely, of course...we just review the recording as needed.

i assume the old router died? or maybe just an upgrade?? so if its still alive can you roll back and see if you can make the camera happy again?? i assume he has his working config still loaded?? not sure what else to say so really brought no value to you, anyway if there is a way to take this offline I would be more than happy to help you otherwise good luck brother, take care

I have never had to record a shot that was non-stop so I dont know, but I would assume you would run out of storage space before the battery died. The battery life is quite impressive

I've got to make an assumption that you are using a security system, and is the basis of your question. If your security camera has digital output, it can be recorded and stored on an external hard drive.

The instructions don't say you can back up and record over. You can pause and restart. I use it to record groups so it just goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

It has a small amount of onboard RAM to 'buffer' images or a small amount of video but there is no actual storage nor can you add storage (using an SD card or something similar).You can stream video off the camera and there is some (expensive) software that can save that video while its being streamed but you wont be able to actually store/archive on the camera.

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!
