The Zmodo should have come with the NetDvr.exe file, If not, go to (www.zmodo.com/downloader/) and download the pc_client software. You need to install it on your laptop, once installed you can run the software and use the playback tab to view all recordings. This should be explained in the users manual that came with the DVR which is also available on their website. You might want to ask someone who's fairly comfortable with computers help you configure the laptop. Hope this helps.

Install the "Net DVR" software that came with the Zmodo security camera system on your laptop, then just set it up with your network settings.

If your laptop has a matching input and compatible software, it might work, but it's not my recommendation since a dedicated surveillance DVR has the inputs and the installed software and costs less than a computer plus it usually has more available memory storage space (since it is not also filled with everything else you have on your computer) and you can fill up a hard drive quickly if you are doing 24 hour recording.

You should be able to setup the camera once you know the ip address with any OS. You can find the ip address using your router. I returned this camera because it was unstable and needed to be restarted several times a day. The lower res camera F18910W is more stable ran for over a week with now issues.

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.

Yes both OS.Yes. Though depending on how powerful your laptop run and what resolution uouhave the program to record at it can be a little sluggish. If it is then your laptop isnt good enough and youll have to record at a lower resolution.

This is a very limited computer, it has a web cam with less than average quality. Of course you can record videos with it and upload them to youtube, but again they are low quality. More advanced video processing, editing, may be out of the league of this laptop.

Hello, we have yet to test it with Network Attached Storage, but if it's treated the same as an external hard drive, you can record to it but only on continuous recording mode. As it is right now, we support recording right to a PC on the network via IE browser (with ActiveX enabled) or iSpy, which is a third party IP camera recording application. We do have a cloud-based storage solution in the works...we're currently about 3 weeks out from going live with it.

Yes you can. You need to install to your laptop, IPAD, or smartphone. Either Tenvis, IPCam viewer. You need to port forward it in order to access remotely the IP camera.

You can record, but you cannot watch films on it. Also, the browser doesn't actually allow you to browse the internet... It only lets you browse the files that you have on the device.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

Depending on your camera. Yes. With an hdmi output from your camera to the monitor or you should be able to see what you're recording as you're recording it.

Yes the camera is capable of being used for recording, however the WANSCAM software that is included can not. I am using iSpy64 which has a lot of recording features (opensource software at ispyconnect.com)

I am using a PC but The User Manual has instructions for Web viewing on PC and Macs, so it should work. Viewing the DVR recording directly does not require a computer, only a monitor.I found the User Manual by Googling online.

Not that I am aware of. You can switch from video to camera, but can't switch back without plugging it in to a computer.

In order to record images from this camera on your laptop, you will need an appropriate adaptor to connect the camera to the laptop. This camera terminates in a BNC connector. Few laptops have a BNC-in port for a composite signal. You will also need appropriate security recording software.

You can. That's basically how I set mine up. Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere. Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

There is a Windows based software package @ http://www.zmodo.com/8-channel-cctv-h-264-surveillance-dvr-smartphone-view.htmlLocated under the 'Downloads' Tab and named NVMS Software. You can monitor, review stills/video images, update settings and pretty much anything else from your Windows laptop or desktop. I use it on my Windows 7 Pro 64bit laptop with no problems. I would advise using the default username/password combo until you get a good feel for the software and the DVR.
