Will this automatically transfer video from a camcorder to a laptop on the same network? How fast to transfer 1GB? I can't MyFi find if it will.

No it doesn't. You have to manually log in and select the files to transfer/download. It can be somewhat cumbersome if you have many files.

Hi Daniel M., this Sony Handycam doesn't support file transfer to a computer. It doesn't have any input jack to connect a USB or a Firewire. Only available jacks are A/V output for viewing videos to a TV or VCR. Ely

Actually, I have a laptop that reads an SD card. It is easy to just plug the card into my laptop and it plays the video. I have mine set to record when movement is detected. That setting is under the plate on the back. It overwrites the oldest recording when it needs to have more space. I just watch it when I suspect foul play. It worked right out of the box for me. Clay

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 !

It is fast enough for transferring files, but be sure to read the requirements for your camera. Many of them are CF, which is faster. I use the 256GB as a secondary hard drive in my Vaio and it works well.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

The DNR and attached hard drive have to be in the same local network. You can playback the video that is recorded from anywhere. Maybe there is some hack that would make the DNR think the cameras are attached locally but not sure how that would work. The software it comes with is pretty clunky. This is no industrial setup to say the least.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to provide a technical answer but I can say that it works right out of its packaging on my Windows 7 PC and a 289MB video will save to it in about 11 seconds and a 341MB folder containing 65 photos in 7 different subfolders will save to it in about 27 seconds, and this is all using a USB 2.0 port on my old PC. Probably be even faster using a USB 3.0 but it's fast enough for my everyday use.

I have been transferring upto 15 Gb on the NAS. Frankly, the speed is slow compared to the USB interface. However, considering that it is connecting over the Wi-fi network to the NAS connection might make the transfer longer. However, so far I am not thrilled with the speed of the device. However, since I have the unit only for a few days, more testing is required.

It kind of works with any camera that does not require special software to access its images. It creates WiFi server using the mass storage driver from the card the storage works like regular card for the camera it creates its own network AP for you to access I have not played with it too much I have not figured out if it can be used on existing network as a node but documentation says it can be done along with push that I have not tried either.

No, I was using 32GB Extreme Plus for filming and it barely did the job. Buy the PNY 64gb for the same price, with a 90 mb/s, and give yourself some HD Video space. I mean, same price.

Not sure. I have a Dell XPS 420 with dual core and it takes about 6 min to transfer around a 2 gig movie to it.

It all depends on the quality of the video. There is a 2 gb size limit. Then it switches to another file.

I am assuming the camcorder uses the SD memory card. If you look the data speed on the memory card it should work OK with 22-24 fps. Not sure how it works up to 30 fps, but with the data transfer rates should work.

I had a 4gig that I transferred from my old camera and it never got full even after close to two thousand pictures but I never recorded video with it which takes up a lot more data. I hope this was helpful.
