It does not record by it self, you need a security cam recorder for it, or a computer card with an RCI entry.

You need to specify in the program your running to record in a curtain location.

It does loop record on a sd card. Also I love the fact that in an addition sends the pic to your email accounts. I recommend it.

If you are recording only motion. It will depend on the environment you put it in on how long till the SD card fills up. The places I have used it, 8GB didn't even fill up before I'd swap batteries. But if you put it somewhere where there is constant motion you will get completely different results.

Manual says it does, but I have not tried it myself. It is not always recording though. You need to turn it on manually and it would generate a file that you would save on your PC.

It records onto a 4GB micro SD card. From there you can hook up the usb cable and transfer it to your PC, or direct transfer if your PC has a SD reader slot (the usb transfer is quicker, though). Rather easy, actually. These mini cams do not include an SD card, so you'll need to purchase one separately; but considering the low cost, it's still well worth the expense IMO.

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

It stores the video on a micro-sd card. This is a low res camera and not the best choice for what you want youse it for. I use it to mount on my motorcycle and record the ride. It is ok for that, you tube posts that small Image display. Sound quality is surprisingly good. But video quality is just ok.

Thanks for the good question. Yes, the camera records both video and audio to the MicroSD card, and if you prefer, you can choose to record to a network drive or Apple Time Capsule instead. In that case the camera also records video with audio. Regarding MicroSD card please keep in mind that our indoor models do not come with the card included since the slot is easily accessible for you to add your own. All our outdoor cameras come with a card pre-installed. Also please keep in mind that all MicroSD cards need to be formatted in a computer according to our instructions prior to first use in the camera. You can use cards from 1 GB size to 32 GB, and if you have access to a Mac for special formatting of the card, you can even use 64 GB cards. Sharx Security will offer preformatted cards soon.

The SD card that comes with it isn't that good (fills up pretty fast) but you can put a 32gb SD card in it and it records for a long time.

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 !

Have you try a different SD card? After you re-insert the SD card; did you un-plug and re-plug the power? If you have tried all of the above, and it still doesn't record; the unit might be defective. Please email us at customersupport@cavalrystorage.com so that we can swap out with a new unit for you.

Internally it has a micro sd card memory slot. It also has a USB cable output that might be kludged as an input to a recorder that uses mini dv tapes. I do not know if that would work.

This does record to SD cards. A 30-45 min recording is around 5 gigs so unless you offload the footage all the time, I recommend a 32 gig card. My Canon 3Ti demands a high speed class 10 card, or else it shuts down the recording after about 5 seconds. The Toshiba Camileo X200 doesn't require a fast card. I run mine with Class 4 cards exclusively and they have zero issues.

You do need an sd card to make recordings, we use a 16 gig and it holds more than 100 hrs

Yes, it records sound, and the audio quality is excellent. Note that the on-board speaker is pretty small so when you play back a recorded video on the camera itself the sound is small and tinny, but when you upload the video (e.g., to youtube, etc.) the sound is great.

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.

The instructional manual indicates that you can record to the SD card. However there are only certain types of cards that are compatible with the unit and the amount of recording space will also vary with the type of card.
