Does this automaticaly overwrite the card?

Yes from the oldest recording forward. I prefer this model because you can place the wireless receiver where it works best and run cables to a monitor where you need.

To answer your question informatively, yes. In the system settings there is an option to overwrite last night's videos(for example). And if you say no. It will keep them until eventually your SD card runs out of memory. Also if you are curious whether this deletes other content inside the SD card besides the videos, the answer is no. The system makes a folder named "Videos" and only affects that folder. All other contents are left unchanged/unaltered. So you have no worries.

The overwrite feature is the default, however, to check or set the overwrite feature manually, press the "menu/edit" button on the remote. A menu screen will be displayed. Using the arrow keys move over to the "record icon" and press the "play/okay" button. Using the arrow keys move down to the "overwrite" menu option. Press "play/okay ". Highlight "yes "and then press "play/okay " to save your selection. To exit the "menu mode" press the "menu/exit " button until the normal screen appears. You're done. I hope this helped.

I believe it will. If you open the card and change any of the proprietary hardware, you're surely voiding the manufacturer's warranty.

Am not sure what you are asking. I use the cards often and have no problems with them

Yes it does start overwriting once it is full. I haven't used it with an apple product.

No it doesn't. You have to erase the card once it's full or every now and then. Depending on the amount of activity, I do mine about once a week (I got this reply from my niece who uses her system 24/7.) Hope this helps.

There is a way to write over the card at the beginning when it becomes full. Occasionally I need to wipe the card clean and start over. I am using two 16 GB cards and alternating them between the defender monitor and the main PC to save the important files,

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

Hello, the fan always runs, it may adjust speeds for tempature but it never stops or the card would overheat very fast.

Mine has jammed up when I tried to. It can take the card separately with no problem, though.

Yes. There is a motion activation setting. Works fairly well. There is also a setting that allows it to "roll over" when the card is full and record over the oldest files.

I believe it depends on the maker of the card. I don't believe this one does.

Yes it will copy over the oldest file. I only pull the card out every 3 or 4 months to make sure it is still working since they do go bad. I have another dash cam that also copies over oldest file, so I am thinking most if not all work the same way.

Yes. It overwrites earlier recordings when it gets full. Best thing to do to avoid that is to get a larger card. It comes standard w a 1g card.

Yes, all of the cards will be different with no duplicates.Thank You, Stu HomeCasinoGames

I have been unable to set the unit to automatically overwrite old data when the card is full. The camera will either let me record in a (3/5/10) minute loop, or record continuously until the card is full at which point it stops recording.

Select whether to overwrite the recorded SD card or to stop recording when the SD card is full. When you select "Overwrite", the stored video will be overwritten starting with the oldest data first.

There should be a switch on the card. Change its position and you should be good to go.
