Great gadget! After recording, I can watch it on my TV or on the computer. The instructions are written by a non-native novice English speaker which is entertaining to read. The night vision is not so discreet as the IR LED's glow to illuminate the subject. That is sure to capture the theif's attention. I am going to use it to capture a theif who enters my apartment while I sleep. Once the village police examine the evidence, I doubt the accused will be free for long. It records video clips, but not still pix. There is a 1-second delay between detection and recording.
