If you can access your HikVision camera on your LAN, then yes.
Use Internet Explorer.
Enter the camera's IP address in the browser address bar.
Login.
Select Playback from the top menu bar:

Yes.
You will need to have the camera on a network to configure it to record to the microSD card.
Then you can detach it from the network, place it where you wish, and leave it recording to the card.
You can set it to overwrite the oldest recordings when full.
Your card is likely to hold maybe 7 days, it depends upon the settings; resolution, frame rate and CODEC used.
You can remove the card and view on a PC using say VLC player.
I'd probably re-format, and then re-insert.

Hi.
If I need not to record full day may I configure my HIK cam to start recording only if motion is detected?

Yes.
You can schedule the active days, and hours of the day.
And can record continuously within those scheduled times, or only upon event detection.

 

[Leon_cam]

Could you please give some instructons on for example for only upon event detection?
