If I didn't want it to record when I am home going in and out all the time could I cover the camera with tape or do something else? Also, I am assuming this is hear wired and does not require batteries.

I believe that the motion sensor will activate the light without having to record, the record function has a separate on/off switch. This unit does require hard wiring, it does not run on batteries.

Yes. Use C cell batteries x 4. Recording does deplete the batteries quickly.

Yes, but let me be clear, it is not a set and forget, recording to local computer is done only when logged into the camera's web page (then it can be set and forget...as long as the page stays open on the computer), the default location is C:\IPCamRecord. This will also work for motion detection (alarm) recording, but again, the web page has to be open to record to local PC / Mac. If you insert an SD card, Motion Detection will record regardless of the web page being up or not. I hope that makes sense.

Hi Pat, The GoSafe 110 could record the sound and video both, and the sound recording could be turn off as well. Team PAPAGO!

Yes, you can use without the battery. With the battery the recording time is not long , less than two hours .This product is very good , I'm very happy , buy it for very little $ 140 d and quality sound recording and video is spectacular .

Hi Nathan. I ended up returning this product. My husband wanted this but we currently rent a house and you need to run power to this camera which would require drilling holes. It is not totally wireless. I had also bought a package which came with the software needed to watch this. You could watch it on a computer or cell phone, but if you want it recorded, you need the DVR box.

I have read from theives that have been in jail and they say that if the camera has a light or blinking light they know that it is a dummy camera. So I would recommend no battery. That is what I have done. Google this if in doubt.

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.

The camera is powered by an AC power pack you have to plug into the wall. Any wire less camera will have to be plugged into some power source, be it batteries or AC. I recommend you look for a different wirer less camera. I bought two of these and both of them went out inside a month. The picture quality is not good at all.

As long as the wire that comes with camera is long enough to reach camera, you are ok. The electric and video are both in that wire. Curious about DVR answer, cause I am having issues with mine and it's been less than a year so I am thinking about going with another brand....

If you have it attached to a power switch inside the house just turn it off. The unit will revert to giving a warning when turned back on and begin taking photos or clips again.

I will change to charge mode or data mode when the USB cable is plugged in. It will not record. That is why I regret buying this camera without thorough research. I use this camera for my motorcycle rides. I can only record as long as the battery lasts.

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.

It has two small LEDs on top of the unit when it is recording, IIRC. One might flash. Easily covered with tape to hide them. I returned mine because the battery mode was useless and quality poor, but probably reasonable for the cost.

There is no on-off button. You have to plug and unplug, or turn off through device. Device should control recording.

Negative. I must add that if you plan on mounting this, it doesn't look right if it's plugged in to an outlet. Most motion detectors that i've seen never have plugs, wires connected to them. With that being said, if you choose to have it battery operated, know that the batteries don't last very long and will need to be replaced often, less than 16 hours i believe. This could become expensive and may blow your cover if trying to keep this "covert". But overall this does have great color video and does it's job.

I haven't used it in this type of setting however even in a outdoors location beside a busy road you get good recordings picking up the voice and not the background (a switch also allows background if required). I used black tape to cover the blue light on the remote mic when recording at night as it was too distracting. But if you don't intend to video the person its not really useable as a simple wireless mic.
