Is there any security feature to prevent recordings from being heard or opened?

ESONIC CELL was useless, it only worked a few times then shut down WOULD not restart. cheap and inefficient - I sent it back!

Yes, the device records both video and audio in default mode, but audio recording can be disabled if desired.

No, you have to select the message while the recorder is not playing back or recording.

yes, but some programs are blocked / protected. A blue screen will appear saying some thing indicating the program is protected. All of my recordings are from movies that I have saved on my DVR. Most will record but some will not. Strange, but some times the blocked programs still record even though I get the waring display. If a warning display appears don't give up. Try "write to disc" anyway. you have nothing to loose. I have a ton of DVR recordings. This DVD recorder was well worth it to me. I only wished I purchased a VCR / DVD recorder to make it easier to record that old box of VCR home movies I have. yes, but some programs are blocked / protected.

Yes. But there is no way to turn it off. That is the mistake I learned, you can't film in silent or mute. Always on.

Yes, press the speaker on the bottom right of your desktop (right click) select recording devices then right click the device and select disable. On the cam there is not mute button that I know of. Hope this helps

Yes, there is a button on the lower right corner of the camera. It announces when the audio record is off once you push it

Yes, audio recording has its own on/off function. But overall, I don't recommend this device.

Yes. The audio monitoring clicks off when you click into another application, but picture and audio continue to record.

The ease works by deleting the recording. There is an option to erase all or to erase a specific recording, and yes it will prompt to about being sure.

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

I do apologize, but I can't answer this question.I am still very happy with the recorder, but I never needed such feature.Maybe Olympus helpdesk will help you.

There is a small recording light on the side (not on the front) when it is recording. It can be covered with a small piece of tape.

You can turn sound recording on or off permanently in the recording settings. There is no way to turn it off temporary. I.e. to turn sound recording on or off you have to get into camera settings menu (not a big deal though).

No... I don't have it connected to my computer at all times... only when I want to record something of my DVR. But, this means you cannot automatically schedule recordings.

Hello,That would be through a separate recorder or a computer set to do that or maybe a cloud service. I havent done it so you'd have to do research.

I use "IP Camera Super Client" software for recording to a hard drive. Monitoring is done either via built-in browser-based software or software I'd mentioned.
