Sorry, this kind of DVR can not achieve the function you described, because it can only record via wired mic.

I only have mine taking snap shot alarms. I'd call FOSCAM to see how you record the output. It would probably take a dedicated computer with LOTS of memory.

The camera has an option to program your car's license plate # into it, and have that display as an 'overlay' on the recorded video. Not sure what benefit that provides, but it can be setup that way if you so please.

Hi! as long as you have it hooked up to the Cigarette Lighter and connected to the device, it will automatically turn on and off, record and overlap until you need the video, if in an accident or similar; when you need video, I would suggest you disconnect right away to make sure a new recording doesn't overlap the one you need but you have plenty of space so theoretically - should be fine; great device to have inside vehicle.

It does motion detection recording and/or record all the time, depending on what you need.

You can set this camera to record a short video clip when it detects motion using the Foscam IP Camera Tool program. The problem is you have to keep the window open in IE all the time or it won't record. I use Blue Iris software to manage my video cameras and much prefer that to the IP Camera Tool.

Yes on both accounts. You can FF when watching the video recording and you can set it to notify you when motion is detected and on what camer so you can go right to that camera and remote view.

this is a switch, you would need to have a NAS/hard drive to record the camera video, or use a camera that can act as a server and send snapshots of events like motion detection to your email etc.

I don't believe so but I really don't know, I didn't pay that much attention when I installed it; but it does have a video input for a security camera or camera for viewing whilst backing up.

It is a CCTV camera so you will need a CCTV card in your computer with software to record onto the hard drive or a DVR for CCTV cameras. It is not a stand alone unit.

It takes video but you cannot tell what you've taken until you get home and upload on your computer

Nothing is recorded. It's a fake (dummy). It's to fool people into BELIEVING that you have a security system.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

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.

You can put your license plate number in (through the menus) so it is recorded at the bottom of the video. This way it is clear that the video is yours if you ever need to use it in court.

You can use the secureview pro software that can with the camera and/or purchase Blue Irish software!

I'm not really sure. I hooked it to a camera that looks like a fire alarm sensor to cover a break area to catch a vending machine vandal. I'd think it would record from any type of camera if you use the right connectors. I can tell you it is not built for the elements so would have to stay in a van or indoors. Wish I could be more help.
