The DVR-518 uses three AAA batteries. You can use either disposable or rechargeable batteries. If you choose to use rechargeables, you will have to charge them separately, outside the camera. Any battery charger will work, as long as it's compatible with the type of batteries you choose.
You can get more information about the camera, including the manual and software, at http://www.vivitar.com/products/2/digital-video-recorders/361/dvr-518
The DVR 518 uses SD and SDHC cards up to 8GB in size.
You can download the manual and request the software from the manufacturer's web site at http://www.vivitar.com/products/2/digital-video-recorders/361/dvr-518
The best way to download videos from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy videos from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any video cataloging program.
The manual can be found at: http://www.vivitar.com/products/2/digital-video-recorders/361/dvr-518
It uses AAA batteries, so make sure they're rechargeable first. If so you can put them in a standard battery charger. Some models, not sure of this one specifically, will charge when plugged into USB, so you can try that as well.
If the software you need is the "Vivitar Experience" for downloading the images and videos, there is a link on the bottom of the site above to download it.

The ViviCam T328 is primarily a still camera with some video capabilities grafted on. It does not record sound when in video mode. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer but you cannot record one on the camera.
