How many hours can i record on the hard drive ?
1031389
Depends on quality of the image that you want. The set up display shows the maximum hours at that quality

The max is 12 hours at a time. I can't remember the total, maybe about 100 hours?

It greatly depends on the quality you record shows at. And this can be mixed, even recording by timer. Each show can be at a different quality. I record at the lowest quality and it's been a while, but I think it was 1200 hours or something outrageous. I currently have 370 programs recorded (some very short) and 187 hours left. I would generally not recommend the highest quality recording speeds because the lower and middle are very good quality and higher would just be a waste of disk space. And remember, unlike any other DVR, it is truly unlimited space if you buy a pack of DVD-R's. You can burn recordings to DVD and then delete them from the HDD. Yes, I love these devices, and I own three. It greatly depends on the quality you record shows at. And this can be mixed, even recording by timer. Each show can be at a different quality.

I only record sports so I have not gone over 2hrs. It is a little difficult to set up but it works well

I believe it's 12 hours, at top quality. More if recording at lower quality.
1031394
The max is 12 hours at a time. I don't remember the total hours, maybe 100? (At the best quality, least compression.)

I don't know the exact time but we have over 100 recordings on it. If each recording was 30 minutes that's at least 50 hours. Hope this helps.

a 500Gb for only 4 cameras only record for 24 hours continual and it will write over automatic every day if you want longer record time you have to change the hard drive to a bigger one a 1 tb will record 4 cameras for 45 days it says but I haven't had a chance to test my system for that time yet.You will get longer record time if you change the settings to motion only.The new hard drive runs about 100.00 I was alittle upset that they didn't let me know that before I bought the system and you have to have a special hard drive that works with this system.You can not use a usb hard drive it has to bea internal drive not a external drive.Hope this helps and answers your question. a 500Gb for only 4 cameras only record for 24 hours continual and it will write over automatic every day if you want longer record time you have to change the hard drive to a bigger one a 1 tb will record 4 cameras for 45 days it says but I haven't had a chance to test my system for that time yet.You will get longer record time if you change the settings to motion only.The new hard drive runs about 100.00 I was alittle upset that they didn't let me know that before I bought the system and you have to have a special hard drive that works with this system.You can not use a usb hard drive it... » Read More a 500Gb for only 4 cameras only record for 24 hours continual and it will write over automatic every day if you want longer record time you have to change the hard drive to a bigger one a 1 tb will record 4 cameras for 45 days it says but I haven't had a chance to test my system for that time yet.You will get longer record time if you change the settings to motion only.The new hard drive runs about 100.00 I was alittle upset that they didn't let me know that before I bought the system and you have to have a special hard drive that works with this system.You can not use a usb hard drive it has to bea internal drive not a external drive.Hope this helps and answers your question. « Show Less

I don't know, but I'm guessing about 7-10 days. What I do know is that the recordings will roll over once the drive is full, so it's a continuous recording over the same drive.

You can get 2 hours of HD+ and 4 hours in HD. Both are HD 720p. And of course over 8 hours in VGAI've tried both HD settings and really didn't see much of a difference if any.Don't forget if you want more recording time than 2 hours you'll need a way to charge the battery or carry a spare.

It depends on the size of the hard drive you are using on the PC you are recording with. You can use the included software or any off the shelf IP Camera software. This is just a camera and does not record to itself. Usually you can estimate about 1GB per hour of recording on just about any camera with average quality settings. I would suggest adding a secondary hard drive dedicated to storing your video.

You can record up to 8 hours with a 32 GB card. If you download it to your computer you do not have to erase it. When you record up to 32 GB it will randomly delete files from the first 5 per cent recorded.

It will depend. You buy a memory stick separate that keeps the info. Then you can put it into your computer and see what is happening. You can also put it on standby so it only comes on when there is movement that trigger it. I think it would be quite posspile. I have recorded off and on for three days with an 8gig.

To get 4-hour capacity, you either need DL (dual layer) blank disks (and a recorder that supports DL disks), or you need to record at slower speed (inferior quality). All of the major disk flavors (-R, +R, -RW, and +RW) come in DL variants.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

According to the Sony website: Recording and Playback Times (in Internal Media)(2ch) : HD PS: 35m; HD FX: 45m; HD FH: 1h00m; HD HQ: 1h45m; HD LP: 3h10m; STD HQ: 1h50m (Times are approximate; max time); MP4: 2hr40min === If internal memory is 8GB, then 32GB would last 4 times that amount. 35 minutes x 4 = 2 hours and 20 minutes (approximately).

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

Doesn't come with a hard drive. It will record 960 hours. I have mine hooked up to my Lap Top. I recommend anyone to use this equipment.

With a 1TB hard drive and recording on 640x480, 16 cameras will take about 5-6 days to completely fill up if you're recording continuously. The better option is to use the motion sensors to start recording, then use the event logs to find anything you're trying to look back up.

It is 24 hours and has a 500 gig hard drive. That's a lot of space for recording. You can access it while you are away to check up on your home too.

Depends on SD card capacity since unit only records on SD cards. Does not have hard drive for recording. The more capacity of the SD Card used, the more hours can be recorded. See sandisk.com web site for SD Cards. I have had good luck recording with their SD Cards. Any other questions, let me know.
