I simply want to record video to my hard drive 24/7. Is that possible?

That's a computer question, not camera. The camera will operate as long as the computer keeps it online.

As far as I know you can Record as Long as your harddisk or card has enough space.I did an underwater shoot, about 1,5h as One shoot. I always keep it recording the whole dive.

Thank you. for recording, internal hard drive is required. unable to record directly to a cloud server or networked NAS. Regards

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.

Yes, mine is hooked up to a lap top via an EasyCAP DC60 - USB 2.0 Audio/video Creator Capture High-quality Analog Video and I use a software video capture program to record to the hard drive, however its tedious and I reccomend getting aZmodo PKD-DK4216-500GB H.264 Internet & 3G Phone Accessible 4-Channel DVR with 4 Night Vision Cameras and 500 GB HD for about 100 bucks more for easy recording of surveillance video.

Yes u do need a hard drive to perform all record and playback and alert functions. Zmodo sells one for your unit, reasonably priced and it works very well. Enjoy PS after HD is installed, call tech support and let them set it up remotely.

Yes, depens how big is your harddrive. A 2tb will record more than 30 days.

I do not know.. But, I can tell you that I have the 4 cam system on motion sensor (event) recording. With a busy store it can often record continous all day, until we close the store and then it doesn't record much other than a security guard walking by the entrance a few times overnight.. Typically, I am experiencing 17-19 days of recording with the 1TB drive.

I have not seen a way to do that but the system overwrites the oldest video when the hard drive runs out of space. Ao in that respect you don't have to worry about it.

I posted before this is not the ideal hardware to use with windows 7. It can be however run/used under win7 using compatibility mode. The link for the proper win7 drivers is listed in the q&a.; It is a very reliable and useful piece of hardware. Use it on a PC running xp and it is flawless. If this is intended for 24/7 security recording using it on ones main pc is not a very good idea as with any such similar hardware. The constant accessing of the HD to read/write the video data is enough wear for just a standalone.

You could record it if you had a screen capture program. You would almost have to have a PC dedicated just for that and some really huge hard drives. When I used to record on my old camera (wired) It would go through a terrabyte drive pretty quickly. So even if you did do that, much time would need to be dedicated to reviewing the footage at fast speeds. It can take hours every day to do that. I personally think its worth the cost to be able to see the markers on the cloud recording and to be able to check it on my phone.

Hi，it could realize recording without hard driver，it can not storage and playback video without hard driver. Thanks！

The DNR and attached hard drive have to be in the same local network. You can playback the video that is recorded from anywhere. Maybe there is some hack that would make the DNR think the cameras are attached locally but not sure how that would work. The software it comes with is pretty clunky. This is no industrial setup to say the least.

Yes you can and it will record up to 7 days continuously but the only thing is you have to buy a USB flash drive for recording storage

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software.Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night.Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

Is there any way to record directly to the card and bypass the internal memory?? thanks
