Question: Does this camera actually record video or is it just meant for real time viewing?
Document: Because I travel a lot, I use either an iPhone 5 or iPad for this occasional real-time monitoring. Though the webcams are supposedly browser friendly using the TZO DDNS service, I use uLinksys by [...] as a viewing tool. It costs $3.99 and another $2.99 in app purchase for multi-camera use. Some gripe about the cost - but come on - it works great and is easy to set up.
Set up was easy, but I have a new linksys N router. The remote viewing is easy, but I am using their service, which comes free for 90 days, then a nominal fee after that, $25/yr I think. My only real complaint is the audio, it is awful. There is a constant buzzing and it is difficult to hear anything. Night video is not very good, but it is not a night camera. I would buy this again, no regrets.
We've been using the WVC80N camera for a while on our home network with a Linksys WRT350N router. The WVC80N is the next generation IP camera from Linksys. It's older similar looking twin the WVC54GCA is good but had some issues that the WVC80N solves. You can see reviews of the WVC54GCA cam at myhomeserver.The WVC80N adds Wireless N, an easier setup for Remote Viewing and best of all, direct writing to a NAS drive to record video!
I bought this camera to do security recordings. Set up is easy and the video is fair but you can not record with a MAC. I contacted Linksys and they were no help just "Sorry software does no work with a MAC"I find a security  camera that you can not record to be useless. If you own a MAC do not buy unless you want to sit in front of the computer  all the time watch. Cisco must not realize how many millions of MAC's are out here.
I was elevated to advanced tech support. Someone actually called me a few days later. He was able to get it to work and enabled motion detection. That was good enough for me. It would mail a video clip when I had motion across the screen. Great for keeping an eye on the inside of the house. Worked for about a week then stopped working. I had enough. I wasn't going to invest more hours of my time. I packed it up and returned it.
It was very easy to configure for full-time video capture to my Synology NAS, and when motion-detection is working, I get instant emails, and by using gmail's filters, I get an SMS on my phone. Very nice! Also, remote viewing on my phone was a breeze to setup.One thing this camera would benefit from is IR.
There are actually two configurations (when to record, how to handle motion detection, etc.) between the website configuration page and desktop configuration to which I found out the hard way, work independently of one another. Maybe this is my ignorance but I didn't know that in order for the camera to record if setup on the desktop config, the computer has to be on. I didn't think an ON-computer would matter since it's a wireless network cam but I was wrong.
I a security camera that you can not record seems worthless to me. If you own a MAC do not buy unless you want to sit in front of the computer all the time watch the action. Cisco must have underextimated  how many millions of MAC users  are out there. I bought this camera to do security recordings of our front entry way. The setup seemed to go smootth but when  I spoke with customer service, they explained that the software will not work with a mac.
I read a few reviews that said everything worked after the cd setup program. No way. The setup program did setup the camera right away. But, getting the internet viewing and email notification set up took a lot of time and research. I am an IT professional, but I don't know very much about networks.
If you're not using it for remote viewing it would be worth it though.Update: After many many many emails TZO customer service, remote viewing never worked. I wish I could return it but it's passed the time. I have to buy a regular camera package now for remote viewing. I guess I could keep this camera for an expensive paper weight. :(
Answer: 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.
