Does it record sound? I am looking for something similar, but not with sound. Don't want to overstep any laws.

probably lots of cameras out there that don't record sound. Don't think that is a problem to worry about This camera is really great though and a great buy

No, it does not. You're going to run into issues finding a security camera that supports video and audio as you run into legal issues recording both. Your best bet is to install an auxiliary audio device and record the audio separately. Check out the Louroe ASK4KIT#101 in my store. It can interface with a DVR for recording.

yes... no need to record. It will play through your computer speakers. It's just another audio input source to your computer through usb

If you connect a usb to it, you can record music to your usb, but if you have a computer or what not, you are better of. The moment I took it out of the box, I knew it was not what I wanted, so I immediately put it back in the box and sent it back.

It depends on what you want to record. If the volume is adequete, it will record with no problem. I hope this helps.

It will only record your voice. I tried using it to record meetings and was unsuccessful. It's product information is clear about that, but I decided to try anyway.

Yes, it records audio. But unlike the outdoor cameras, the indoor cameras don't 'see' at night. So without an adequate light source, you won't get any recordings with this camera - not video or audio. I also have outdoor cameras placed indoors, and would go with the outdoor models entirely, knowing what I know now. Best of luck to you!

I didn't buy it for recording. I bought it to play audiobooks on cd for my class. It was substandard.

It's a recorder. It records all sounds..it has no idea what you consider 'background noise'.

It's a fantastic device but I've never been able to figure out how to record to a PC program. I always use a recorder. But I think it might be that my sound card is not set up for it. So to answer your question, yes but might still need to figure out how to make work.

No, this one does not record. Great idea though, we'll upgrade to something like that next!

Yes, this does have the "record what you hear" feature. I would also suggest you look at the products at www.DAK.com. There products are the most reasonable and work great. There support is also unbeatable.

I have not used that feature except to test the video. I do not know if it can record sound. I don't recognize a microphone anywhere. I am not sure it can connect live with the internet, either. If you seek that, you might want to contract Olympus about that. Sorry I could not be of more help. I have not looked into the manual in a big way. I just take pictures and its wonderful for that.

It has an audio input/output. I have not used it on mobile devices. I have not yet been able to make the recording function work.

Does it take still pictures? Yes. There are seperate buttons for s.till photographs and live movie recording. Does it record audio only (such as music)?? As far as I am aware, it does not do that as a user selected item. I would be happy for someone to correct me if I am wrong. All the same, one could simply record video without any video input, and then turn that video file into audio only (after the recording is made) by using a program to strip out the audio only into its own mp3 file. Only takes a minute.

Yes it does. Also worth noting is that when you do this it does not beep or chime. So if you are recording and wish to be discreet, it will not cause any disruption.

It plays a cassette so that you can convert the content of the cassette to a computer file. So, no it does not record.
