How many days of footage does it hold? What happens when the days are exceeded, does it rollover and delete the oldest footage?

Since the recording is done at a PC that is connected to the same router, the recording time will depend on the size of your hard drive. Will use about 1GB a day and future model will have a rollover feature but not as of now.

The storage is on a computer or external drive connected to a router. Depends on the capacity of the drive.

Thank you for your inquiry, This unit records video on the hard drive of the PC or Mac in the home or business where it is located. It wirelessly connects to the network and records on the hard drive. It will hold as much video as you assign the hard drive, you can get weeks or months if you like. The old video will erase and lay new video on the hard drive.

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.

get the manual; I think it will loop, erase oldest and record indefinitely, don't really know though.

Mine only records when motion triggers it and it records for 30 seconds or as long as there is enough motion to be detected. You can set it to record over old recording if it is at capacity. I have a SD card that I download to my pc if I want to keep it, otherwise I just delete everything after a few days.

It does record in "blocks", or files about 1 - 5 minutes long (selectable). If you are editing these together with MovieMaker or some other software, they are supposed to edit seamlessly together. If you select the option, when the SD card fills up it is supposed to delete the oldest file as the new one starts to record. I have a 32Gb in mine and the cars these are in have not been driven enough to fill the card. I have it set to the highest resolution. It seems like you should get about 2 hours on a 32GB card. Hope this helps.

You have to manually wipe it to re-record. Its capacity to record depends on the size of the memory card. I replaced the card that came with it because it had a very limited capacity (I think less than an hour at high resolution). With my 32 Gb SD card, it easily stores more than 4-hours of high resolution video.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

I have no idea yet,I only film weddin days and 64GB are more than enough for me if 64 is not enough for you the camcorder can record to 2 memory cards in sequence

you can just let it run. you can set the memory settings to record till memory is full or overwrite oldest video first.

Yes Gordon, it has a loop record function. So when memory is full the old one is deleted automatically to make room for new video. Any Save ON Storage (SOS) video will not be deleted automatically (this happens when you press the SOS button).

I donot know, With 500 gigs and 4 cameras set to highest definition I get about 2 weeks recording before it records on top of the older recording. You can set to motion detect which will greatly increase record days.

This all depends on how you record. I'm recording continuously from a pair of DCS-932L cameras at 640x480 "medium quality" MJPEG with Audio at 12-15 frames per second and it seems like my 1TB drive will hold about 8 days of video before it starts overwriting the oldest video. If my cameras supported h.264 encoding rather than MJPEG, it would hold quite a bit more, I believe. The resolution, framerate, and audio all play into how much space the video takes up. If I only had one camera, or was only recording on motion-activation events (rather than continuously), it would probably take over a month before it rolled over. So the short answer is "it depends", but there's my experience. This all depends on how you record.

It depends on how long you wish to save the footage. Generally the hard drive is adequate since once there is not an incident there is no need to save the footage and it can be written over. You can download footage of interest to the through the USB onto a flash drive, etc. The drive space can also be extended using the motion sensor feature in that only if there is motion the footage is recorded. I don't use this feature and the drive can store almost 30 days of footage. The only limitation is when it begins to record over old footage it erases the entire drive and begins again so old footage is lost.

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..

It depends on the size of the SD card you put in. I use an 8 gig SD card and the highest quality video setting i.e 1080p and I have recorded over 2 hours but never checked for the maximum.

I have it set to record over when it runs out. You can copy it off to a computer or DVD and then start over. The more you have it set to record the more data it records. Mine is set to come on at each camera when there is movement on that camera 24/7. You decide how each is to record. You also can have it email you when getting full
