How much space on the SD card does it take up for 12hrs of continuous recording? Is audio also captured?

Dear friend: Thank you for your writing! It might get about 2.5G for 12hours. It would not capture audio. Thank you! Best regards Sincerely THG Inc

I'm not quite sure-however if you're recording at full hd, you will use more memory. At the lowest setting, I think you can get about 7 hours. At the highest, maybe just a couple of hours. (I sent this as a gift to my dad so I haven't used it-but he loves it and I haven't heard anything negative)

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.

The VP83F doesn't come with a microSD card, so the audio recording time depends on the size of card you purchase. According to the user guide (pg.8) it uses ~1 GB every 2hrs of recording time, so a 16GB card will hold about 32hrs of audio.

It depends on your SD Memory card size. What I can tell you is -- for 4 GB SD Card you record for 1.25 hour on HD 1080 mode, so you can calculate the recording time by the multiple of 4 GB times 1.25 hour and it is the answer. Thank you for this question.

Hi, Eric...that would depend on how large a memory card you have :-) I have an 8Gb SD memory card in mine & I have taken over 7 minutes of video with it & never ran out of space. I haven't pushed it beyond that point but have read in reviews that the average time you can video in 1080p with an 8Gb card is 22 minutes. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. :-(

That all depends on the size of the chip you put in the device. It continuously records audio and video to a microSD card up to 32GB (Not Included). All recordings are time stamped, and camera is also capable of taking still images. Deleting your old recordings is also not necessary; thanks to a clever continuous loop feature that overwrites old data once your memory card is full, you can just keep on recording nonstop.

I don't recall. If it did it was very small. It needs a 16 or 32 gb card to record more than an hour or two.

you can allocate how much space is available for event, motion detection and normal recording in the settings. I had an 8gb card which got filled completely, I just installed a 32gb a month ago and there is still room available. I will continue to monitor if the camera can use all of it.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

As are the camera and the 16 gb sdhc card, I menaged to record 9 min, 1.42 gb, stopping myself when the show ended. I believe that I could record longer. I cant explain what is the difference between us.

I have an 8GB micro SD card (SanDisk). It is good for 120 minutes. Every time one turns the camera on and off, it creates a new file.

32gb micro sd is the maximum for this camera. In full hd it records about 4 hours on a memory card like this.

I only use the device in the highest quality mode. On this setting, the internal memory will give you ~47 hours of audio. With the 2G SD card, you get an additional 137 hours. That's a lot of interviews. The audio is very good at this setting. I've recorded music and voice and they both are impressive. The tiny speaker in the unit will make the audio sound not as full as if you were to plug in a set of headphones, but that is the typical limitation of the speaker.

Maybe this can help you. Don't know the size for one hour but for 4 hours it was 219 MB. The recorder creates a .WAV file with a bitrate of 128 kbps, 4 bit, 16 hz.

It's dependent on the capacity of the microSD memory card . A 16 GB card will last in excess of 45 minutes ( that's the longest recording I've made so far). Somewhere in the literature I read that a 4 GB card will record 2 hours, but I can't verify that claim.
