People mention that it can record in blocks..Will in start to delete older files automatically?

Yes. Mine did. I didn't play with it enough to see if it would warn me before it over-recorded.

It does record in "blocks", or files about 1 - 5 minutes long (selectable). If you are editing these together with MovieMaker or some other software, they are supposed to edit seamlessly together. If you select the option, when the SD card fills up it is supposed to delete the oldest file as the new one starts to record. I have a 32Gb in mine and the cars these are in have not been driven enough to fill the card. I have it set to the highest resolution. It seems like you should get about 2 hours on a 32GB card. Hope this helps.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".

no, it creates a new video file for every block, it will just tell you memory full when you run out of memory it will not delete anything.

This recorder does not overwrite the oldest file as a dash cam would do. However, you can manually delete files to free up space. It also has internal memory, in addition to using the chip. If you get into a bind, you can delete files, switch to internal memory, or lower the resolution of the recording. An 8 gb chip will record about 12 hours at the highest resolution. a 32 gb chip will record for about 50 hours at the highest resolution and for about 368 hours with MP3 at 192.

No real need to do that. If you set the timer to 10 mins. it will just record in successive 10 min increments until the SD card is full at which time it will be to erase segments, oldest first and re record over them.

yes it can record continuous and it does record over the old video at a certain point, you can also download a certain recorded video to usb drive that way you can save it for future files

Hi, yes it work like that, you need to choose recording time, 3 or 5 min. and it makes files 5 minutes and saves, until card is full, starts delete old files adding new, like 16GB it will be plenty for you, it take up to 32GB. My camera working so far no problems. If camera loses charge you will need to reset the time and date, but still will recorded and make files.Let me know if this is helpful.

If by 'over-record' you mean record in a loop than no you can not. As others have stated you must attach the drive to a computer and delete the files and folders from there.

It has been my experience that this unit will keep on recording over the the oldest recording, ie: on a loop. You can also delete the old stuff using the onboard menu.

It depends on the size of the hard drive you use. Also, it can overwrite to create endless loop

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

Yes Gordon, it has a loop record function. So when memory is full the old one is deleted automatically to make room for new video. Any Save ON Storage (SOS) video will not be deleted automatically (this happens when you press the SOS button).

Yes, this camera will override oldest segment of regular recordings. Any segment protected by g-sensor event will be saved in separate folder and has to be removed manually.

It is a auto feature. I have a 32gb card in it which records about 16 hours when the sd card gets full it automatically starts recording over the old files. Nothing manual at all.

Ya know I haven't tested it. I would imagine it does so if there is an event that happens definatly pull the record off of the mem card and save it to your computer.

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards

yes, you can use it for automatic backups--that's what I do. Each backup is 'discrete' so you can backup a file (as part of a regular backup) then delete it; it'll still be there on one of the backups. Will remain until you clear it out deliberately or room is needed for the next backup. With 3TB, that's not going to happen soon...

Sadly it doesn't, but i like how you think! You can record till the card's full and then you need to manually delete before you can record any more. Tell the guys from ION to include it in the next one!

It does. You have to go to settings, then system set up. Go to storage file, and you can erase entire footage at once. I did the same thing you did at first.
