You can record up to 250 video clips or 2000 still photos on the card and then it will stop recording. Any motion will trigger 10 seconds of video or still picture at 3 second intervals. You can add any additional wired Swann camera to work with the recording kit.

This can not go directly into a 110v outlet and would need to be plugged into a power adapter. The camera would record motion as soon as motion was detected.
