I don't understand how this camera can easily and discretely be hidden anywhere since it has to be connected to a VCR or DVR, even if you run wire...

You have to use your imagination. The camera is meant to be concealed in something (box, basket, ceiling tile). The only thing that should be visible is the lense, which is very small. The wires can be concealed in the wall, ceiling, or any other way.

I couldn't. I tried to hook mine up and there's a ton of cord that would draw the attn of anyone tryingto unplug your TV.

These CCTV Camera's have to be connected directly to a DVR system / It's the DVR system that you connect to your Router via it's built-in LAN jack (CAT-5)

The camera uses an interlaced analog NTSC signal. You can view it on a classic analog television set ;-) Or a standard security video recording system. You can also experiment with video capture cards to record to a computer (and there's some USB EasyCap varieties that can be had for under $10), but you might be better off with a IP camera. If you want superior low-light capability, the video capture hassle for this one might be worth it.

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.

These cameras have very little intelligence and do pretty much what they are told. So if it is turning itself off at night then the DVR is telling it to do that. You will need to check you DVR settings and specifically the operation time. The camera is incapable of doing this on it's own.

It is a safety feature installed so you can't drive and watch video. However you can buy pass it by grounding out the wire.

Nothing is recorded. It's a fake (dummy). It's to fool people into BELIEVING that you have a security system.

This camera is wired and needs an electrical supply. This camera is probably not going to work for you.

The image from the camera will not be viewable 30 miles away without additional equipment. A DVR with network connection is one way to view the image remotely.

I use this device for investigation purposes at work where i plug the camera to a DVR and program the IP address & DNS setting so i can remotely monitor. It is NOT great in the dark as it isnt designed for that. You may look into IR cameras for that.

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.

Hello Abraham, the Camera really needs to be connected to its own DVR, the software that comes with the equipment, only works by.... the software connects to the DVR and back and forth. Hope this helps.

You need a dvr with Internet access to connect the camera to most dvr now have that feature. If you want just a camera you need to install an IP CAMERA.

Sorry, this kind of DVR can not achieve the function you described, because it can only record via wired mic.

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

It is not "exactly" designed to help with that because no VCR is involved. BUT you never know. To find out on your own, you would have to buy it first! I would suggest first contacting the seller [or manufacturer] through Amazon. That way you should be able to find out before purchasing.Good luck,MR
