Buying this for my grandson. Do I need to buy a Micro SD card to record the pictures; If so, can the SD card be viewed thru his iPhone or Mac?

Mr Simons, yep, you'll have to buy a micro SD card. I recommend getting one that comes with a usb or SD card adapter so he can plug it into his mac to download the pictures. It won't plug directly into his iphone. Here's one I found on amazon that should work great for you: http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-MicroSDHC-MicroSD-adapter-Mobilemate/dp/B003XKWLSS/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407210887&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+sd+card+with+reader

You are correct, there is a microSD card that installs in the belly of the unit. You start/stop recording by pressing a very small button next to the card slot. I purchased a class C10 SD card as it records faster so the video is smoother than a less expensive card. After flying, you can put the card in your phone, or computer to play back the video. It's very good considering the cost of the unit, w/ auto-adjusting contrast and exposure. Enjoy.

This is probably a couple months late, but from the page, I can tell you they say: Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included). That is all I know. I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

The camera converts the video to an AVI file upon completion of recording. That file is then downloaded. If you have software running on the Mac that can play that file format you should be all set. Also it must have either a USB connection or the ability to read an SD card to download the file. The manual does not mention Macs.

There is no SD slot. You need to purchase Blue Iris ($50) for Windows or Evocam ($30) for Mac to record to your computer. Both are very good with numerous triggering options: motion, sound, time and date, remote request, or manually. You can specify the folder to which the video clips will be written. If you have DropBox, you can dump the videos in your DropBox folder so that they are sent to the cloud and become available to all your portable devices.

The time limit depends on the size of your SD card. I download the video to my computer via iTunes on a Mac, but I am sure PC will also download the video to your pictures. This is a great camera! I am loving the speed of taking pictures w/o lag between shots. Get a fast digital card from Amazon if you buy this. I bought the 95MB/s SD Sandisk Extreme Pro.

The recorder works fine with a Mac. You can download the recordings to iTunes, and use iTunes to control playback.

I received this camera from my father, during a visit, and played around with it a bit, recording and getting used to it, then I tried inserting the mem card into my 2010 MacBookPro and it can not read it, I can't find the booklet nor the software, I am looking on amazon to find out more about it ....

You can put an SD card in it so the bigger the card, the more you can record. You can also have it record straight to a dropbox account. You have the option of doing continuous or motion activated. Love it!

I think a mac would recognize the camera and upload the photos, but the video is in wav format and to my knowledge, mac does not support wav files. With a Mac, your best bet is a Canon.

This camera uses a micro sd card and records standard video files which can be played on MAC or PC, with any media player. Beware of China sellers that sell cheaper knockoff versions of this model and if anything goes wrong with the camera it will cost you $60+ to ship it back to them with tracking, and they may not even be around then or provide warranty support!

Mine did NOT come with an SD card. I use an 8 gig Micro SD card I had laying around and it works fine. The video files get big in a short amount of time so I recommend a class 6 or higher Micro SD card. Class 10 would be even better. They can be found fairly cheap here on Amazon.

Thanks for the good question. Yes, the camera records both video and audio to the MicroSD card, and if you prefer, you can choose to record to a network drive or Apple Time Capsule instead. In that case the camera also records video with audio. Regarding MicroSD card please keep in mind that our indoor models do not come with the card included since the slot is easily accessible for you to add your own. All our outdoor cameras come with a card pre-installed. Also please keep in mind that all MicroSD cards need to be formatted in a computer according to our instructions prior to first use in the camera. You can use cards from 1 GB size to 32 GB, and if you have access to a Mac for special formatting of the card, you can even use 64 GB cards. Sharx Security will offer preformatted cards soon.

The monitor needs the SD card to record only. Be sure to have the monitor and camera close together and sync the camera to the monitor as the instructions advise.

David; I really don't know about the Mac, but I can tell you that I love that camera. It is always on whenever I drive, it is mounted behind my rearview mirror, so I don't even know it's there, and once you learn how the software works it's pretty simple to save any important scenes on an SD card. My only criticism would be of the users manual. It is not especially well done. But it can be figured out.

I don't believe so. Recordings are stored on SD cards on the camera. You can view both live video and recordings from an ios or android device, but only using their app. You can't publish live video to the web.
