Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but I dropped a 750gb drive in it and it records a LOT!

Do I need a separate recorder/hard drive to store recorded data? If not, how long does it record before the 'loop' ends and it starts rewriting over itself?

Yes, there is timed recording, plus motion sensor recording.On my system, a 15 second recording is one MB 1024 MB in one GBWithout doing the. Math, I would think your needs would be coveredDespite the other answers here, there is scheduled recording. You may set on and off times, and continuous recording available

it depends on what you are using to record with. As an example: from the DVR attached to my TV I can record up to 8 hours of video on a DVD; using the software on my PC I can't record more than 4 hours of video on a DVD.

Well, this unit (TCD748000 Premiere XL) records 150 hours of HD, so it will record about 500 hours of SD programs.

The real problem is more likely the speed of your memory card. To record HD, you should use an Extreme III card, because the camera records faster than a typical memory card can store the data. The 15 to 30 seconds is how much your camera can hold on to while it's pushing the rest to the memory card, and once the buffer is filled, it has to stop or you would lose data.

A HDD in the DVR. Flash mem for limited recording time. Not hard to imagine for $99-.

A regular harddrive reads and writes about about 80 megs per second, this drive does it at around 400 mps. Its really impressive, but you need to make sure both the drive and the computer its connected to have SSDs and thunderbolt to take advantage of the speed.

You can expect somewhere between 2 and 3 months of storage with the four cameras running. After that period of time, it records over the furthest day back so you always have the 2-3 months or so of recordings.

The recorder only has 13 hours of HD recording space. Resolution can not be changed on recorder to save space. Only issue I had was my time zone would go to Atlantic time zone. I would check it once a month to make sure it was in the Central time zone.

1 TB with continuous non-stop recording will hold about 3 weeks. You'll need a 3.5 SATA hard drive with a maximum of 3TB. So lets say you want a 3TB HDD, well you'll have about 9 week of non-stop recordings. However, you can set your DVR to motion detection, that way it'll record when it is triggered by motion in order to have optimum storage. Also, the DVR has automatic override, so when your HD is full, you'll system will override itself and keep recording. Hope this helped!

I'm not quite sure-however if you're recording at full hd, you will use more memory. At the lowest setting, I think you can get about 7 hours. At the highest, maybe just a couple of hours. (I sent this as a gift to my dad so I haven't used it-but he loves it and I haven't heard anything negative)

Thank you for your inquiry, This unit records video on the hard drive of the PC or Mac in the home or business where it is located. It wirelessly connects to the network and records on the hard drive. It will hold as much video as you assign the hard drive, you can get weeks or months if you like. The old video will erase and lay new video on the hard drive.

You can set a specific time to record in 15, 30, 1 hour file. you can also do a manual recording, not sure if it will overwrite when its full or stop recording.
