Can you set this up to just save in a certain directory on your computer?can you have it delete after a certain amount of time? (or overwrite?)

Truthfully the easiest way is to get the newer cameras that you can put a As card in. Then you just pull the card out if there's a problem and look at it on your computer. We do have two of our cameras set up on the computer but if you have very many cameras that computer is going to be running all the time. To me it's just easier to use the card. We have ours hooked up to view on our computers and on our smart phones. Hope that helps.

In overwrite mode it records continuously, everything from moment you start car until 10 seconds after you turn it off. When copying file to a computer you can edit it to loop action for veiwing or other needs.

It can, I happen to have that function turned off. The file names are time stamped as well

I divide my files on the computer. I have never tried from the unit itself. I am not familiar with the other unit you mentioned.

Sorry I don't have an answer for the question but I can tell you the user software is a bit tedious, passwords are commonly over ridden, the rights as to how the user can use the drive is very tedious. Hopefully they upgrade the GUI which is accessed through explorer, you have to grant rights in order to use the drive the way you would like, just wish they had a better GUI.

You don't have to have the disk in your computer to use it. The program does randomly connect to the Internet to check that there are no updates and that it's an originally issued copy of the program. As far as using it on multiple computers you can do that if they're not being used at the same time. I have it installed on 2 computers but never use them at the same time.

I also ended up using FAT32; I haven't seen any downside if you want to just store files... except the maximum file size. I don't know of any cross-platform format that has no file size limit, so my advice is FAT32 with the hope somebody else here knows of a better one! :)P.S: I have this exact product, and after a a few different attempts I found FAT32 to work for using it to move stuff from my windows 7 desktop to snow leopard macbook pro

I've never tried it but it is set up in the same files as on your computer.

There is a menu option to have the system overwrite old data automatically. I use a 16GB card and my unit records a continuous loop of a little over the last 48-hours.

I don't use my Sony very much. I purchased it for a specific meeting. However, I just checked the manual. There is a way to "overwrite" a portion of a recording. You can also set up files into a folder. I have not done either procedure, but they are listed in the manual with instructions. It's quite an amazing little machine if you know how to use it. Hope that helps.

Yes and no. It needs the file to be renamed a certain way. It's a hack of sorts.

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?

We're having a similar problem. It keeps telling us it is "Write-Protected." Tried reformatting several times under different OS's and same problem.

The system constantly overwrites the oldest files. You never need to take the SD out. You can also use your PC software to manage your files (save/delete).

Hi James, This jem of a program gives you the option of closing permanently the disk, or if you are planning to put in more data in a future date then un-tick the tick box where it says "You want to close disk ? " The location of this tick box is at the final options before you press " BURN " ( Example: 1st time you un-tick the box, burn the disk, then at a later date you place more data, but this time you tick the box, then yes the disk is locked.... It's all up to you.....! James I hope that this answered all your questions...

I don't use my computer to store files. I use it for the internet mainly. I Access my office via the web. I will tell you that with its not a lot of memory as I have nothing really currently stored on it and only have way less than 100 GB of storage left.
