The best way to see what the device see is hide behind it! It will be hard at first but I've done it !And it works great !

It is not a real camera. It is fake camera that you can use like people who do not have burglar alarms put out signs saying they do.

It's a dummy camera. The battery makes a small led light up to simulate a real camera. You don't seriously think this is a real camera?

You need a DVR. The camera comas out on a pair of cables. One for power and the other BNC for video.

Hold button for 3 secs to turn on. Click once for pics. Hold til green light flashes 3 times for recording. Plug charging cord into USB port to review data.

You can watch what the camera is monitoring via Skype from any computer, essentially it is a seperate feature. The monitor has to be in range of the camera and does not work off of SKype.

Yes, the camera functions normally while plugged in. I'm pretty sure it actually charges the battery even while recording.

Mine is connected to my camera and 12 volt battery and all of the power and ac/dc cables are plugged in but it won't work.

The monitor has it's own battery (purchased separately), so as long as the cam you're using has a hot shoe mount, you should be good to go

Maybe . This is a wired backup camera. You will need to run power and video wires.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

I suggest buying rechargeable batteries. Mine worked great with this camera and last longer.

It will record while plugged in however I have found it will only work if the camera is recording before it is plugged in.

There is an indicator light on the front that comes on when recording. I put black electrical tape over it so it is not seen.

This camera will record as long as it's connected to the power.there is no timer on it.

You might consider a DASH CAM, as i believe those have internal batteries that charge while driving, and can still record while parked.

After charging and pressing the power button, you should see and able to record. Try the car D/C adapter. If that doesn't work, then there is something wrong with the unit. One more thing, these cams are very sensitive to extreme temperature, cold or hot. Also, do you have a micro memory card in? If not, the unit won't work. Hope this help.

The wires are marked for power and ground.you may put a toggle switch in line to turn the camera on and off

It depends. If you keep the video on the whole time, the battery will drain quickly. Try Turing the video off and see if that helps. If not, then yes, that might be a defective unit.
