What's the difference between a video camera and a video recorder?

The camera records dynamic images; A camera, that is, a video camera, records still images.

2. Shutter difference

The camera uses a continuous shutter to record information on the dynamic film; A camera records a single frame image on a storage medium through a single shutter.

3. Medium difference

The camera uses magnetic recording, that is, the recording medium can be reused, with high efficiency and low cost, but the effect and accuracy are much worse than that of film shooting;

The camera uses film and mechanical devices to record moving images, uses optical and chemical recording methods, and uses electronic recording methods.

4. Differences in technical structure

A camera uses a continuous shutter to record information on dynamic film. After precise mechanical action, each shutter is closed, and an image is recorded with a specific length of film (technical term is "frame"). After several shutter switches, multiple frames of images were recorded on the strip film. These images are connected and become movable images.

A camera records a single frame image on a storage medium through a single shutter. Technically, it looks simpler than a camera, but it requires higher imaging effect.
