How many days will the unit record?

depends on the amount of cameras/sound you have going in...i currently have no sound and 4 cameras and my system holds two weeks worth of data

Typically 2-4 weeks depending on how you have the camera recording set up. Motion will free up hard drive space and then depends how much motion is being picked up. The hard drive will over write itself....so once full it will delete the oldest data and record with new.

I have mine set to continuous recording and get about 20-25 days. I'm running three cameras.

it really depends on what resolution you are recording in. the more detail the more space is needed. Mine records 24 hrs a day and just loops. If I go away I lower the resolution and set the non entrance cameras to record on motion.

5 minute is the longest. It continues recording automatically. Get a good so card.

Yes this camera systems will record up to (2) weeks of recording. You can set the camera up to record Continous, Schedule, and Motion Detection. This system come with a hard drive memory already installed. But make sure you do not have the overwrite feature on when recording because when the hard drive is full it will overwrite what was recorded and will start all over again. This system also come with an USB port whereby you can download your recorded pictures onto a USB adapter that will you have to purchase separtely.

I'm sure answers will vary , one the memory used and the battery, mine records for approx 2 hours , and it make a file at 59 min , then it will automatically begin a new file . I don't know why it does this but it works fine. it does tend to get a little warm when recording for a long period of time.

I don't know, but I'm guessing about 7-10 days. What I do know is that the recordings will roll over once the drive is full, so it's a continuous recording over the same drive.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

One TB hard drive will record 7 days or so and recycles, so on day 8, day one will be overwritten. This happens automatically unles you change the setting.

Sorry I can't really answer that as I have never really used the recorder long enough to see how long a charge will last.

If the SD card fills up, it will start to record over what is on the card. About once a month, I just format the SD card while it is in the unit. But it can be formatted (erased) by putting it into your computer also but it's much easier and quicker to do it in the unit.

It should record as long a there is movement. I believe this can be set up.

about 30 days, it depends on how often you record. I have mine motion active so the recording will last longer

I have been using it for months now and it records per minutes totaling to 60 minutes. Not continuous. You may need more memory.

I have a nightowl 8 camera setup with 500Gb drive. I choose to record all eight cameras 24x7. You can go to the playback function and the calendar will highlight the dates it has available. When I check mine it shows 6 days. I would assume at least you would get 12 days. This is at the dvr's default frame rate. lower frame rates will yield longer record times but lesser video quality. You can extend by switching to motion record where the dvr records only when it senses motion. just experiment by changing frame rates, motion, etc. Go to playback and check the results, but this will take time.
