Does the camera have to be manually deleted or does it just write over data with each trip?

Apparently once the micro SD card fills up, it automatically erases the oldest files to make room for new recordings.

I have the 8 camera system that records all 8 cameras 24/7 and it records for 16 days and then it just starts recording over the old data. For the 4 camera system recording at 24/7 I would imagine that it doubles that amount. Like another reviewer said you can set it up to record on motion sensor only and same thing to send you pictures to your phone on motion sensor only.

The recording go to the hard drive in a compressed format H.264. The files can build up unless you maintain the storage. The cameras also take snapshots, these are stored as JPEG, like anyother digital camera. These too can add up unles you elete the unwanted ones, my suggestion is to use Blue Iris, you can set all the paremeters to how much it records and where and how it stores it..

I don't know, but I have the same question. Just haven't had time to try it. I'll be traveling in Europe for a month and plan on taking three cameras. I want to back them up to nexto drive. I know you can designate different folders. That may work. I also plan to define separate naming schemes in each camera to keep them separate otherwise. I think there are several possibilities. If I get a chance to test it, I will off another response.

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

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.

From what I understand,all data is recorded to the camera's internal chip. I believe nothing goes to the internet,unless you request that it does. I use a l6 GB micro chip and that covers a great amount of time.I use it for protection when on trips. All detected motion goes to your designated email account to view a snapshot of livetime of what triggered the recording.

I have no idea, there should be on line instructions, each movement triggers a recording, which is stored in the unit and oldest is overwritten when recording new when the memory card is full

There is a tiny reset button that can be pushed with a paper clip. It is located by the power button on top of the camera.

The camera is independent from the transmitter and the on/off procedure is awkward and primitive. The camera is activated manually by a tiny button (push once) on the side of the quad.. The button (pushed again) turns the camera off. It's video only. No still photos.

I never run out memory, but in manual said that the camera will vibrate and turnoff when the memory is full, so i think you cant use it.

You have to manually wipe it to re-record. Its capacity to record depends on the size of the memory card. I replaced the card that came with it because it had a very limited capacity (I think less than an hour at high resolution). With my 32 Gb SD card, it easily stores more than 4-hours of high resolution video.

No, you can pass it through and record to your camera. I had to do this once when I forgot to bring enough SD cards. HOWEVER, the Tascam will turn off 20-30 minutes after no activity (recording) so keep that in mind.

WOW, I can't believe I've done that a hundred times at least. It is a lot easier than it looks.I better mention to everyone, that you do want to download your photos first, as the FORMAT is a total deletion. That's the idea, to clear the card completely, so there's nothing left behind to slow the processing down. And it should be done in the camera the card is being used in, not the computer or a second camera.

Mine I purchased did the same things. Completely useless. I had it in my trail camera and lost 2 months of pictures. That's about 2000 pictures that are irreplaceable. And the time I lost was also irreplaceable.

All footage is recorded in 3-minute clips. When the SD card gets full, old clips are automatically deleted and new ones saved in their place - from the oldest to the newest. The only exception are about 30-second clips recorded in "emergency" mode. Those have to be deleted manually. The emergency mode is activated in situations like sudden stopping, sharp turns, and larger bumps.

Every time you start the engine, the video starts on new session or file. If you continue driving for say one hour, it will create new file every few minutes. Depend on size of the USB thumb drive, e.g. if yours is 20GB, then it will accumulate many files for many hours, and I think when all 20GB is filled then it will start writing over the oldest file automatically. My 20GB thumb drive is not full yet because I often remove my dashboard camera to avoid exposing to southern CA sun light and heat and forgot to mount it back. Other customers maybe able to confirm this. Kenny
