how long can you record for?

I did a few tests with this product and I stopped it after about eight minutes or so. The built-in 8gb memory stick seems to hold quite a bit but I've had a hard time getting this thing to record properly. Consequently, I haven't used it that much. Hope this helps!

You can expect somewhere between 2 and 3 months of storage with the four cameras running. After that period of time, it records over the furthest day back so you always have the 2-3 months or so of recordings.

No problem. According to the G30 manual, recordings can be as long as 12 hours, depending only on the size of the memory card. When a clip exceeds 4GB in size, the camera seamlessly creates another clip but playback is continuous.

Hi Alexander, the expected recording time would depend on the quality of videos you take. You can record on the highest quality for about 3 hours. Thanks_Mitch

I have been using it for months now and it records per minutes totaling to 60 minutes. Not continuous. You may need more memory.

In my experience, the battery lasts only about 5 hours... so if you need to record 8 hours, buy 2 of them and swap them out after 4 to 5 hours. Note it should automatically create a new WAV file about every 2 hours. It also won't record while it's plugged into a USB port, so you can't charge it and record at the same time. :(

I had it last as long as 3.5 - 4 hours of continuous recording. And as long as 3+ days using off and on.

about 30 days, it depends on how often you record. I have mine motion active so the recording will last longer

I donot know, With 500 gigs and 4 cameras set to highest definition I get about 2 weeks recording before it records on top of the older recording. You can set to motion detect which will greatly increase record days.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that you can record up to 2:40:45 using the standard (SP) quality setting. Even using a double layer disk, you can only get about 2 hours and 13 minutes at the high quality (HQ)setting. For most DVDs the SP setting on the 4.7GB disk looks great.

It depends on how you set up your hard drive to record. If you set it up to record non stop a 500GB will last you one week. Remember you can always set up your system to record with motion detection, and the system as automatic over ride in case you run of space in your HDD.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

I use it for recording for over an hour straight. You can record for 5-6 hrs as long as you have a way to have it plugged in while you are recording.

it depends on what you are using to record with. As an example: from the DVR attached to my TV I can record up to 8 hours of video on a DVD; using the software on my PC I can't record more than 4 hours of video on a DVD.

There is no setting for length of recording. Most of my recordings are between 15-30 seconds, but some have been longer. I don't feel that I "miss" any action in my recordings. My guess is that due to the "free" nature of the hosting service, it wouldn't record for an hour, etc.

5 minute is the longest. It continues recording automatically. Get a good so card.

According to the manual: The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically.
