Is it possible to use the Story Teller application to configure different SD cards (while in the camera) with different camera options? for example, 1 card to record @ Action HD-720p, and a 2nd separate SD card to record continuous photos every 3 seconds, and then switch cards in the field to change from video to photo?

Not that I am aware of. You can switch from video to camera, but can't switch back without plugging it in to a computer.

regarding fw_rtc.txt, one file of settings per sd card, anyone else tried just locking the permissions on that file so the camera can't set update from y to n? Shouldn't that make it work repeatably for each card? I'm gonna try in a few days as soon as getting a second microsd card, will post back here.

The firmware Storyteller will only run on MAcs with Intel CHips!. i got this from Contours website. http://help.contour.com/customer/portal/questions/729250-arcitecture-not-supported?t=56458

Yes. There is a motion activation setting. Works fairly well. There is also a setting that allows it to "roll over" when the card is full and record over the oldest files.

Is anyone aware how long a video can be recorded on a 2GB SD card vs. a 4GB card? I'm not sure which frame rate video options the SD800 offers but assuming there's a "good" quality rate, how many minutes can I expect to get on each? I'm debating on whether to splurge on the 4GB card.thanks!!

I have never been able to get the camera to record more than a few seconds of video. I have not taken the time to figure it out. I think that I should not HAVE to figure it out. You put in an SD card, you record, you replay, you're happy! Not this one.

Depends on how you configure it. I am saving video and alarm still captured to both a memory card in the camera itself, and across my local LAN to my Windows PC. By using both methods, I actually have two copies of the video. Easy access to my computer hard drive copy, but I pull the memory card from the camera to read the second copy.

I have been unable to set the unit to automatically overwrite old data when the card is full. The camera will either let me record in a (3/5/10) minute loop, or record continuously until the card is full at which point it stops recording.

Yes, the camera records 3 minute segments until the card is full and then starts overwriting the oldest segment. If you camera is hit with a strong jolt, such as in and accident, it will save the segment. I use 16 or 32 gb cards and carry an extra, just in case I have something I want to save.

I honestly can't remember but I do know there are two different modes for video and pictures. I broke my camera so I got a small action camera off ebay.

Yes, on Camera, there are multiple options, also it's camera smart automatic, or manual. I hope this was helpful to you.

If you mean can you do them both at the same time I don,t believe so. You can take stills and then video on the same memory. Hope this helps!

I can not be sure of your situation but I was having trouble with a a high speed card reader that I purchased with the camera. Then a friend suggested I purchase a Kingston card reader (under $20 at the time) which reads multiple card styles and I have not had any trouble since.

Hi Daniel M. Why would you want to change when the film2sb has a slide holder as well. It is a seven inch long holder, just drop 25 or so slides into the chamber ( stacked ), then slide the holder to the right to engage the first slide to drop, slide to left to view on the screen, click "ok" if it looks good and ok again to capture on the provided memory 2gb card. Do the same process again to eject the chosen slide and continue as before. I captured 300 very old cardboard half frame mounts all on to the memory card. Each slide takes3 or 4 seconds. Do you have a slide handler as well as a film handler, the slide handler is normally with the unit. So very easy, I was amazed.

Hello! If you are talking about the 'loop recording' setting, from the menu, I can help you. The options I have when choosing 'loop recording' are off, 1 minute, 2 minutes and 3 minutes. I do not have 5 minutes displayed there. If you choose off, the camera will record a video file until the memory from the micro sd card will be filled, then stop. For the other 3 options, it will record video files of 1, 2, or 3 minutes duration and when the memory is full it automatically erases the oldest video file on the memory card, so you don't have to erase anything manually in order to be able to record more, once the memory is full. I hope this was helpful. Hori. Hello! If you are talking about the 'loop recording' setting, from the menu, I can help you.

Yes, you can format the SD at any time. i use a 4gb and have to perform a format every 3-4 days (4 cameras, record only when movement is detected and turn off the system every night as it is used in a store 10-8pm)

No, if: 1. You are using 9 or less cameras on the same network. These cameras support SD card recording, and the browser plugin and mobile app allow simultaneous viewing and management of up to 9 cameras. 2. You are using more than 9 cameras, but don't need to centrally view and manage all of them at once. Each camera can also simultaneously record to a designated computer on their local network, in addition to SD card recording.Yes, if: You want to centrally view and/or manage more than 9 cameras on the same network, or view/manage cameras that are on separate networks.

No, you can switch between each camera. Or you can put it on scan mode, which cycles between cameras I believe every 10 seconds or so
