How long can it record for on the 2GB SD card? And does anyone know if it can use a bigger SD card? Thinking about times when you have a babysitter.

I've never used this feature on the monitor, but if the SD card is the same size, but larger memory then I can't see why it would record for longer times. The one thing I would think would be a drawback is that the camera isn't motion activated. For instance I have my camera pointed to where I can see inside the crib. If the babysitter would go out of view of the camera, then you wouldn't be recording anything of importance. The good thing about this monitor however, is that you can have up to three cameras connect to the video monitor which will allow you more flexibility, but again if they go out of range of the camera then it won't do you much good. Hope this helps.

I have an 8 GB and it is set to record motion. It picks up movement 20-30 times or more a day and it records for 2 minutes at a time. It takes a long time for it to fill up my 8. And it's very simple to save it to a computer if you need. That's another option.

I get about two hours of video. I am using a 64gig SD. I could get more video but the two hour mark is the max run time on a full charge!

The size of the memory stick that comes with it is 3.68gb (formatted). The recordings are 600,160kb long (I guess so you can copy them to CDR's for storage purposes ... not a bad idea actually). The duration of a 600,160kb recording is 30 minutes and 5 sections - you can record for longer but it breaks up the files into that size. A 30 second clip takes up 9,376 kb space. SO ... 3.14 hours. The memory card could be replaced with another card if more time is needed. It doesn't compress based on how much actions is going on. So you will use as much memory recording a still image as a full motion image. Also doesn't do motion activated recording. My most recent usage of it I recorded about 50 minutes of video, I ended up with that 600,160kb file and another file around 500,000kb long.

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

I bought myself a16GB sdcard and did not have any problem recording Birthday party for 30 minutes(may be more). You can buiy a 32GB if you need more space. It is pretty good in my experience. You can watch the screen symbol (the one you get as soon as you turn on REC button) every now and then to make sure it is recording. HT helps.

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.

With the free 4GB SD Card that comes with you can record 25 minutes in 5 minute increments.. I use an 8GB card and I get 40 minutes in 5 minute increments before it loops over itself. By looping over itself it will write over the oldest 5 minute increment and so on. The max SD card you can put in is 32GB which should give you 160 minutes, so you should be good for well over 2 hours. Be sure to buy a SD4/32GB Card. It must be an SD4. I use a Kingston SD4/8GB and will upgrade to a SD4/32GB soon.Correction: It should be SD4 or higher. I just bought a SDHC 32GB Class 10 and it works fine after a test drive.

you can record between 8-12 hours (depending the light , dark or day light) you think you need more than 8 hours on a 32 GIG SD card ?? I have tested at least 10 different dash cams the ones with more capacity have BAD quality

I personally only use it to record for about 4 hours a day so I believe you can get about 12 hours of video on a 32 gb card and then it will record over automatically...You don't have to erase anything..

I only use it for short lectures/sermons, about 20-30 minutes, but my understanding is that it will record up to something like 2,000 hours with an added micro-SD card.

Depends on the MicroSD you put on your viewer. It does not record without an additional MicroSD. I have an 8GB MicroSD on my viewer and have recorded videos as long as 10 mins and still have a lot of space to record. I have not tried to record more than that. I use my videocamera for longer viedeos :) I hope the information helps you.

I used an 8 GB card and found that it holds about 100 minutes before it records over or loops. I have mine set for 1080 p HD to eliminate interference from unknown sources, and have it set for 10 min segments.

Several hrs can be recorded. Once the memory card is full it just starts recording over the oldest file, so you always have the last few hrs on record.
