Does this system have the ability to overwrite full memory? Or do we have to manually erase every time to free up space on the SD card?

I haven't used system set up so I erase manually every time but will check into system set up.

It does. You have to go to settings, then system set up. Go to storage file, and you can erase entire footage at once. I did the same thing you did at first.

Does not overwrite full memory, you have to manually erase every time to free up space on the SD card.

In the REC. Setting menu you can set it to overwrite mode so when the memory card is full it will overwrite the oldest data, or not, and it will stop when the card is full.

I might be a little slow - What about expandable memory - can I load music movie and content onto the sd card? or are you all saying it can only read and save content pulled over from another device like my laptop.

If this happens to you, make sure you have a FAT32-formatted microSD card inserted properly. This happens to me if I forget to put the card back in after transferring files. The device has no built-in memory at all.

To answer your question informatively, yes. In the system settings there is an option to overwrite last night's videos(for example). And if you say no. It will keep them until eventually your SD card runs out of memory. Also if you are curious whether this deletes other content inside the SD card besides the videos, the answer is no. The system makes a folder named "Videos" and only affects that folder. All other contents are left unchanged/unaltered. So you have no worries.

I am using a 16GB SD card and it is working fine. Larger capacity cards should also work but I have not tried any.

You can use a maximum of 32 GB of memory. They told me to buy a class 10, which has a faster write speed. Be sure the card is seated completely in the slot. I realistically don't think that any SD card would make it say no SD card unless it's more than 32 GB. Based on my experience, I don't believe your problems are going to end there. You will most likely end up returning it. If you do, remember to remove your SD card. Some people forget to do that.

I'm using a 32GB card in mine. . I have a 64GB card also but did not use as it was SDXC. I figured it probably wouldn't work and didn't bother trying.

Yes, if the disk is still good, it can be overwritten as often as you need to. Just delete what you don't want saved. -fred

It is a auto feature. I have a 32gb card in it which records about 16 hours when the sd card gets full it automatically starts recording over the old files. Nothing manual at all.

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).

Found a thread on forums.xda-developer.com that mentions only 5GB of the internal 8GB Sandisk memory is accessible to user. Just blows my mind that 3GB (38%) of internal memory is for system use... and most functions are still a bit sluggish.

To the best of my knowledge (i.e. I looked at my tablet) that is on board memory - NOT the SD card. It's a great tablet, I really really like it and I really have had no problems so far (4 months in).

No, when the card is full it stops recording. A "Memory is full" message appears on the screen. I also bought a 32g card.

You can set it to overwrite existing video files or set it to stop recording once the SD card is full

I tried a 16Gb, it lasts for a day or more and then the SD card crashes. Then wipe the card and use it again in something else.

Yes. It will overwrite the card. Just go into Storage Management under System Setup and check the overwrite option.
