Yes. It does show what you are recording exactly, but it also have effects on the battery life.

Hi Herb, Unfortunately no the camera cannot be viewed in real time. When you have finished recording, recover the camera and connect it to your PC using the USB cable provided. The recorded video sequences can then be viewed directly onto your computer screen without the need for any drivers or installation CDs.

Hi, yes, you can press the 'monitor' key on panel of the inside unit to monitor the outside from the camera.

Hi Radames, the camcorder may only be used as a monitor while recording or playback. It will display the same view as is on the LCD. Thanks_Mitch

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

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

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

As long as the monitor has an HDMI port you can connect them and view it live.It also comes with a remote so you can start recording video whenever the action starts.

Yes. It streams the program while it is being recorded. There is a few second delay.

Yes, though I not exactly sure which function you want to pause. If you want to pause while recording, just hit the record button again (the button is actually labeled as "REC/PAUSE"). Then when you hit it again, recording will resume. If you want to pause while listening in playback mode, just hit the "Enter" button (also labeled as "PLAY/STOP"). Hitting it again will resume the playback. And lastly, if you want to temporarily pause or lock all functions, there is a "Hold" slide button that will do so, without shutting the device off.

I found that (with you facing the screen) the top left button, if you hold it down for a few seconds it will turn off the screen and keep recording. If you hold it again for a few seconds it will turn the screen back on.

I listened while recording, so it seems you can. But I never tried listening without recording in progress.

Absolutely not. Q-See has software for Android and iPhone that can be downloaded from the app-store or GooglePlay so you can view your live footage as well as recording from the application. You can even change settings remotely and save them back to the system. Of course all of this is only possible if your system is connected to your internal network. you will however initially need a monitor to set up the DVR and after that you do not need a keyboard, mouse or monitor.

yes you can use monitor. You should have vga connector on the back of your dvr.

No, you cannot monitor on a phone. In fact, I was UNHAPPY with the system. I could only get it to work by watching the screen in real time. It does not have a recording feature. You need a PC (not Mac) that is on continuously to record - and you need the prioriatory software (which I could not get to work) to record to the PC. If you have a spare PC you don't mind leaving on, this is for you. Otherwise, consider the much more expensive (for the service) DropCam - which uses cloud recording and you CAN get ALERTS on phone and WATCH on phone and TALK to people you are watching!!! DropCam

No, I have not seen where there is a setting for this feature. The screen will light up and show all cameras if motion is detected. That is beneficial if you have the monitor near you.

Yes, with an HDMI output on your camera you can plug in this monitor and see (just as you would on your camera) what you are recording.
