How can I just get it to record to the SD card slot when plugged in?

The camera set up software that you install on your computer allows you to format the SD card and set up how you would like it to record.

Expanding on the answer provided by Moxee: 1. Unplug the power from the camera. 2. Insert the memory card. 3. Plug in the power for the camera and wait roughly one minute. 4. Use the software that ships with the camera (either the Camera Setup tool or the CameraLive software) to open the camera's setup web page. 5. At the right of the setup web page, click Task, and then Task Management. 6. Put a checkmark next to item 9, Record to storage on alarm. 7. Click Apply. 8. You can configure most of the recording setting by clicking the Record to storage on alarm link. I like to use a 15 second recording time and split time, with a 5 second prerecord (includes 5 seconds of video before the camera senses motion - that is configured in the Camera - Stream Setup). 9. You may need to adjust the motion detection settings. I typically start with the Threshold set at 25% and the Sensitivity set to 75%. You will find the motion detection settings under the Tasks link at the right. I have not had to format any of the 32GB SanDisk memory cards that I have used with the TriVision cameras. I have had to occasionally reformat a couple of memory cards in my NC-336PW and NC-239WF cameras when the cards became corrupt, possibly due to the camera's inability to upload the recorded videos to a FTP server. You will find a Format command by clicking the Storage link at the right of the configuration web page.

A CF card plugs into this. It would be interesting to see if stacking adapters (PCMCIA&gt;CF&gt;SD) would work.

I have been unable to set the unit to automatically overwrite old data when the card is full. The camera will either let me record in a (3/5/10) minute loop, or record continuously until the card is full at which point it stops recording.

Yes you can record from it, provided you have some external device or app to do so. No it does not have a SD slot

Remove the SDXC card from the video recorder. Put it in the SC card slot on the Mac.... BAM!! iMove, iPhoto, and other software that run on the Mac will use the data off the card. :) I have OS-10.9.3 running.

I have only used the Memory Stick port, sorry I could not be more help. Good luck.

The easiest way is with a SD card reader then just pull the card from the camera and plug it in to your computer

Did you plug in the GPS antenna? Reset camera and make sure the memory card is 4 to 8 GB.. my best guess...

I had to record my videos on a memory card made for car stereos before it would work

Use the SD card and the resident tools on you PC. If only the unit itself had more robust options.....sigh.

I haven't timed the duration of the recording, but after an estimated 2 hours ether the battery died or my card was full. I believe I was using a 2, 4 or 8 GB card. I believe it will record continuous if left plugged in.

Try another SD card, make sure it's 1gb and formatted as FAT on your computer first

No. The device has an off/on switch. You charge the internal battery by USB (into computer) then it is ready to record anywhere. To play, plug back into the computer, open the device just like any thumb drive/memory stick and play what has been recorded. Really very simple. Works great!

After charging and pressing the power button, you should see and able to record. Try the car D/C adapter. If that doesn't work, then there is something wrong with the unit. One more thing, these cams are very sensitive to extreme temperature, cold or hot. Also, do you have a micro memory card in? If not, the unit won't work. Hope this help.

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.

Remove the SD card and insert it in your laptop, if it doesn't have an SD slot you will have to purchase an adapter to plug it in a USB port.
