Can I record surveillance videos using this camera? Is this service free? Is a special software required?

You can. It will detect movement but the setup is difficult. I'm still hit-or-miss with the settings on mine. The instructions are very limited as to what each option you setup in the software.

It records photos by motion detection and sends e-mails of them to you (not recommended because of too many false triggers) or uploads them to an ftp server. That is the way I do it. Videos on this particular camera are manual. You can trigger record on your computer or phone and it records the media there. There is no slot for a micro SD card on the unit. There is a more expensive model that has that feature though.

You can record, however, it's not a CCTV camera, I suspect that's what you're looking for.

The camera will work and record without any set up. You will however need Windows to change the settings to mph and adjust the time zone. Did this once on a pc and have been downloading and viewing files on my Macs.

This camera simply connects to a surveillance camera DVR. It doesn't record to itself.

Purchase a separate DVR for your security cameras- you shouldn't even be using a personal computer for security video recording. If you want an all inclusive security camera with onboard recording, look into the Lorex Ping Camera (LNC116). They work well. They are not pan/tilt/Zoome; however. Hope this info helps. Personally, I own Lorex and Foscam and I'm really, really happy with my Foscam. The pan tilt tracks movement if you want it too. I'm happy with Lorex as well, but foscam has more perks. Good luck.

It's just a camera, no sensors no recording. My dvr allows me to set it to only record when there's motion but that is based on when the picture changes not any sensors

After you install the software from the CD, you should be able to configure email and video. I had to find a Windows Vista machine to setup the motion detection. I have not setup video recording yet but I can login to the camera and watch streaming. For email, you will need to know your email providers settings so that the camera can send emails from one of your accounts.

You can access the camera through a web browser and set it up-- no software needed. Once it's set up, you do not need a computer running any software for it to record, save, caption motion, email, etc. You do need some sort of network storage (NAS drive) of course. The camera comes with a small CDROM which has a few utilities which you do not need, and two rudimentary security programs that can be used to watch recorded videos of multiple cameras. They are not very good and you will probably want to get other software for that purpose. The documentation on the CD isn't great, but it works. It's broken English, but understandable.

I used my video recording app. It's not an app specific device so anything that takes video will work with it.

There's no need specific software to view recording. It works with Windows Media player. About Google map I can't tell, I never tryed that option. But camera's software does not work properly, memory card needs to be formated daily. I suggest to choose another maker.

This camera set is CCTV only. Out does not record video. You cam use a monitor with this set up if it has RCA input for audio and video.

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

I made this mistake too, this is a camera to be used with a CCTV which means you already have a monitor to be seen on, it's not a stand alone camera, as I think you are looking for. I didn't read the specifications properly and now I have to send it back and I ordered a WiFi / IP Camera, which can be easily set up through the computer or mobile device, you do need a current network to set it up (In case you are thinking of using it for the summer cabin or something, just an example) With IP / WiFi surveillance cameras you can set up to be recorded whether its video or pictures every period of time, although you need a computer and it has to be left on to record. I bought a Foscam FI8910W and I'm happy with it, I've playing around with it and it would do for the purpose I wanted it for, check every now and then how things are running at a work place. Hope this helps.

I don't think it has a recording feature. I've read you can buy software to help it record but I haven't used it that way personally

These cameras are connected to a network either by wireless or directly connected. They do not have a video out connector to hook up to a recording device like a DVR

the cameras only broadcast the video, it is the software and what you view it on that records, but you can record...Foscam dose make a similar camera that takes and SD card and records on the card. that might be and easier install for what you would like to use the camera for...

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.
