Question: Does the recording go onto an sd card in the camera or is it saved somewhere else?
Document: The monitor is easy to use. it explains itself without the manual through a good basic user interface. recording will only function when the sd card is inserted, and the monitor is NOT plugged into your computer. if the computer or mobile function is used it will not record. also, it will only record the screen being used. if it is quad view set, that will record. if it is single camera, that will record.PC functions are very poorly laid out in the instructions.
The best thing for home security. Best part about it its all preprogrammed cameras are paired recording times are set resolution is set intercom and system working great. When in power saving mode once a camera is triggered the monitor lights up from sleep. I lost the 4gb micro sd card thou replaced with 16gb card. Great night vision am impressed with that. Only thing I should have bought 2 more cameras. Would recommend to anyone. Simple set up. Monitor could be bigger thou.
On the setting where it rotates cameras in the screen. If you set it to that and set motion record to low it will get any human and nothing else and auto record which camera they set off. This does record video. If your menu freezes up it's the recording press the back button and replay or delete it. All in all for what it is this thing deserves 6 stars. I didn't even mention the portable DVR monitor which is awesome. Don't hesitate and buy two extra cameras.
Exceptional functionality and features, particularly for the price. This is exactly what I needed to monitor my detached garage from the inside, and my backyard. Motion detection works great. Clarity of recorded video is easily enough to clearly see facial features. I'm recording on the included 4 GB micro SD card with the resolution set to high. Camera will also record audio. The intercom feature is a nice touch. I'll be buying two more cameras to record the driveway and people at the front door.
The set up for this system is truly plug and play. The cameras are paired to the receiver unit out of the box, just mount and plug them in. We purchased this system because it seemed easy to set up, it has the record function and it comes with the micro sd card. The card appears to hold up to 8 hours of video. The video is broken up into 10 minute files which is a bit annoying, but not that big of a deal.
The motion detector would not register any of the moving vehicles at night, so I pressed the button to manually record. Feel free to ask questions, though I will likely be returning this for a different system.Update: July 17, 2014While preparing to box this up for return I was about to reformat the micro sd card and shut down the system. None of the functions on the monitor device were responsive.
I unplugged the bad camera and it appeared to be working. I let it go for the night and checked it in the morning. The unit was acting up pretty bad. So, I packed it up and sent it back. I just received a replacement that appears to be working.
Memory card went bad within the first week and was not enough space. Should come with better card and highest space micro card available because I had to buy another one because the company did not have replacements available. Of course I bought the highest space micro card available which allowed me a week of recording without deleting.
One of camera doesn't work at night time but every thing else works great . Just that one camera really seems like it's had water damage
So setting it up to start recording on an evening and stop recording the next morning is for some reason not possible. If however you want it to record somewhere during daytime hours this system will do that.- When recording, none of the buttons on this thing work except the &#34;manual record&#34; button. This also means you can not turn the volume up or down while the system is recording.
Answer: The recording does go to the SD card but you also have the option of viewing the video on your computer and you have the option of having the video sent to you via Skype.
