You can set the dvr to record at any time during the day or night or you can record 24/7 and put the dvr recording on a continual loop. To erase what you have already recorded, you just have to reformat the hard drive and start over with whatever setting you choose. Just go into settings then recording settings to accomplish this task.

Typically 2-4 weeks depending on how you have the camera recording set up. Motion will free up hard drive space and then depends how much motion is being picked up. The hard drive will over write itself....so once full it will delete the oldest data and record with new.

I get a little over 2 hours of battery life while recording on the HD setting.

Good evening, the recording time will depend on the amount of memory that you put, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes.Recording until memory runs out, the battery does not last long, you should buy a backup.The videos are excellent.

Since the recording is done at a PC that is connected to the same router, the recording time will depend on the size of your hard drive. Will use about 1GB a day and future model will have a rollover feature but not as of now.

Cant really tell, I only record my 3 favorite shows per week on a 160GB HD, so I assuming as much as the HD will hold.

Karen, I cannot find anything in any descriptions that say it records in HD, but it sure looks like it does to me. The only reference I can find about it's HD is it "supports full hd 1080p upconversion". I tape HD shows onto the hard drive, edit out segments that I don't want, then I burn them to a DVD. I never record directly to the DVD, because I like to edit first, but I'm sure it would work beautifully. The quality of the DVDs cut from the hard drive is, in my opinion, excellent but I can't absolutely swear they're technically HD. I would recommend the product, it's the best recorder I've ever had. I hope my comments have helped a little. Larry Karen, I cannot find anything in any descriptions that say it records in HD, but it sure looks like it does to me.

It greatly depends on the quality you record shows at. And this can be mixed, even recording by timer. Each show can be at a different quality. I record at the lowest quality and it's been a while, but I think it was 1200 hours or something outrageous. I currently have 370 programs recorded (some very short) and 187 hours left. I would generally not recommend the highest quality recording speeds because the lower and middle are very good quality and higher would just be a waste of disk space. And remember, unlike any other DVR, it is truly unlimited space if you buy a pack of DVD-R's. You can burn recordings to DVD and then delete them from the HDD. Yes, I love these devices, and I own three. It greatly depends on the quality you record shows at. And this can be mixed, even recording by timer. Each show can be at a different quality.

You can get about 8 hours before it will start recording over the oldest files. A 32GB card will format to about 29GB of recording space.

Each movie. about 2 hours, takes an average of 6 gig in HD. So depending upon how many episodes or movies you want to have available, will determine the storage capacity required. I personally recommend the largest possible to accommodate future requirements.

As are the camera and the 16 gb sdhc card, I menaged to record 9 min, 1.42 gb, stopping myself when the show ended. I believe that I could record longer. I cant explain what is the difference between us.

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

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

I get 5hrs of recording on the HD SP setting. The highest quality recording mode on my Handycam would only get 2hrs out of this memory stick. So it does depend on the quality settings you use.

Depends on SD card capacity since unit only records on SD cards. Does not have hard drive for recording. The more capacity of the SD Card used, the more hours can be recorded. See sandisk.com web site for SD Cards. I have had good luck recording with their SD Cards. Any other questions, let me know.

There are two different low settings.. One is 320x240 regular mode and that will last about 40 hours. The other is the super long record mode. That will work for aproximatly 30 days on a 32 GB card. -Nick at onlineenterprises888

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

According to the Sony website: Recording and Playback Times (in Internal Media)(2ch) : HD PS: 35m; HD FX: 45m; HD FH: 1h00m; HD HQ: 1h45m; HD LP: 3h10m; STD HQ: 1h50m (Times are approximate; max time); MP4: 2hr40min === If internal memory is 8GB, then 32GB would last 4 times that amount. 35 minutes x 4 = 2 hours and 20 minutes (approximately).
