does the camera have the ability to record over old files for new ones so I don't have to pull the card out when its full?

The camera doesn't have a card, it has to have access to a pc hard drive. good luck with getting any help from the "tech support" dept. I don't recommend.

YES. If you insert a 32 GB SD card the camera records continuously and overwrites the old files. These files are easily examined to see if the camera is recording even when the router or the PC are down. I do not know of any other IP cam in this price range that is capable of doing this.

It won't record over files, but you can download files the camera has recorded to your PC and then delete files on the card via the camera's web interface. No need to pull out the card from the camera.

no...once the unit is full you have to delete items first to record again....that is if the unit works...my unit has already failed and will no longer record. considering the price of the unit I would not waste your money buying this particular unit

Yes, its not fun though. The only way to re-record is to clear the memory... and that clears all 5 potential recordings. So make sure you have everything you want to put back on it backed up.

Yes it has an option to record audio also. The audio quality is very good but I don't record it, only video. Mine records in a loop just fine. (It continues to record over the oldest recording on card when it is full)

I had a 4gig that I transferred from my old camera and it never got full even after close to two thousand pictures but I never recorded video with it which takes up a lot more data. I hope this was helpful.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 card. Oddly, the camera thinks it's full quite often. I don't worry too much about it -- just format when I get that message.

don't know of a setting for deletion. camera can be set to loop or record over previous copy

You can put an SD card in it so the bigger the card, the more you can record. You can also have it record straight to a dropbox account. You have the option of doing continuous or motion activated. Love it!

Yes, it does have that capability, although I haven't used either one of them. I have always been in a hurry when I used it and just transferred the files via the SD card.

Yes, this camera loops the video recording so that if the memory card is full, the oldest video is deleted and overwritten. I like that it saves the video in 2-minute segments (although there might be an option to make it longer than that). Larger video segments take longer to download or open in a video editor.Also, if something happens and you want to prevent that 2-minute segment from being deleted, there is a 'lock' button which will prevent that segment from being deleted.

There is a secure digital slot for removeable memory.I record to that removeable card and copy what ever I recorded to my computer.The other way is to use the provided cable to link up the whole camera to a computer.The sd card is by far the quickest and easiest.....

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.

Yes though you may receive a weird message stating that some footage may not record properly. Never had an issue though. If it pops up inaccurate format simply remove the card (while cam is on) and put it back in. Should fix the problem

Everyone it tells me that its full i always refirmat card. takes less than 20 second to format and I'm making sure its recorded properly. If i wad u i would firmat it once a week if u get alot of recording. Tried it b4 and it didn't record over anyway. Told me it e was full and i reformatted its simple and if u really need the video then just grab the card and recorded into ur pc, just put the card into the pc, make a folder and copy over. Great camera though. Hoe that helps

Yes, the camera records 3 minute segments until the card is full and then starts overwriting the oldest segment. If you camera is hit with a strong jolt, such as in and accident, it will save the segment. I use 16 or 32 gb cards and carry an extra, just in case I have something I want to save.

No. It'll record a few hours worth of stuff. But when the film gets full, it'll start recycling from the beginning of the video. So the most recent recordings you do not lose.

It has been my experience that this unit will keep on recording over the the oldest recording, ie: on a loop. You can also delete the old stuff using the onboard menu.
