does the surveillance feature work on a desktop computer or do you need an iphone or what?

I don't know about iPhone, as I don't have one, but this webcam works well with my desktop computer

I do not know about the surveillance feature but I do know that the cam works perfectly on my i7 Windows 8.1 machine.

You need to get a complete recording DVR that is accessible from Smartphone, Tablet, PC or MAC. With motion activated email alerts and easy Smartphone access

It records as soon as someone ring the doorbell. I forgot to check if it does have a motion detector. You can't access the recorded feed remotely. It is meant to show you who's outside the door when your home without peeking at the peephole plus taping it so you know who tried to visit you while you're gone. It is really a fun useful gadget. I have it in my condo in Asia. If you want to access the feed remotely and record it in an sweetdreams card, I have the security camera at the house here for that. And yes, it has a motion detector, light sensor so it can record in the dark etc. pretty much what you wanted. I can't use this in the condo since the association is pretty strict about the common space which I'm perfectly fine with. Have a great weekend.

I use "IPCamViewer" for my mobile. There is a free version, or you can get the premium for four bucks.

You need internet service with a wireless router to connect the camera in order to view it on your computer or smartphone. It's a very simple setup and once connected you can view the camera where ever you are. You can make the camera private (as I do) or public so anyone can see what you are monitoring.

The dvr itself needs a Ethernet connection (it has no wifi connecting ability's), you can connect with wifi on your iphone/android/computer with wifi a note: the best free on the iphone i have found is called mobile-eye others i've downloaded have/show stuttering frames or fail to connect point blank :)

No, you cannot monitor on a phone. In fact, I was UNHAPPY with the system. I could only get it to work by watching the screen in real time. It does not have a recording feature. You need a PC (not Mac) that is on continuously to record - and you need the prioriatory software (which I could not get to work) to record to the PC. If you have a spare PC you don't mind leaving on, this is for you. Otherwise, consider the much more expensive (for the service) DropCam - which uses cloud recording and you CAN get ALERTS on phone and WATCH on phone and TALK to people you are watching!!! DropCam

In order to use this camera you need a DVR. The surveillance software that comes with the DVR usually works with PC or MAC always depends in the type of DVR you have.

Yes, will work with no internet access (obviously won't be able to remotely view feeds/recordings). You don't need a computer at all. However, if you want to view the feeds/recordings, you will need a monitor or a TV hooked up the the security DVR.

You can but you would need a dvr, usually its the dvr's software that allows you to be able to tap into it from your smart phone, tablet or computer. I'm not sure if you can do that without the dvr however you might try calling a surveillance store from the web that carries a similar camera to ask. Can't hurt!

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

I installed this product on my cell phone and am able to access it at work and hundreds of miles away. I can also access my email and the internet. I don't see why you would need to run this on your PC. You can install up to 4 cameras and view them all at once. It would be easier to see the 4 screens on a computer screen than a cell phone though. I hope this answers your concerns.

You can set it up either on your iPhone through the AnyScene app or in the PC through the software that comes on the disk. Go to advance setting and enable motion detecting and alarms if you want so that it alerts your phone everytime there is motion.

Yes, there are a few Android (and iPhone) apps. I use IP Cam Viewer Pro and it works well. I can even hear the audio (with an annoying hum) on the phone, which I cannot from my PC browser.

You can monitor the system through a web browser, so any computer on the network should be able to access the cameras and recordings online. It doesn't work well on safari, but chrome and Firefox work wel.
