Once you reach the limit of your memory card, does the camera just re-loop over existing data, sort of endless loop style?

Yes, it does loops over and over. However, take note that the micro-SD card is not included and you will have to get a Class 10 card to be used with this. I would recommend use of at least a 16GB or 32GB since the high resolution Full HD 1080P would take up a large space and a smaller capacity meant only last couple hours of recordings are still stored.

Yes it records in a loop mode-the oldest file in the memory card is overwritten.

Hi, yes it work like that, you need to choose recording time, 3 or 5 min. and it makes files 5 minutes and saves, until card is full, starts delete old files adding new, like 16GB it will be plenty for you, it take up to 32GB. My camera working so far no problems. If camera loses charge you will need to reset the time and date, but still will recorded and make files.Let me know if this is helpful.

Sadly it doesn't, but i like how you think! You can record till the card's full and then you need to manually delete before you can record any more. Tell the guys from ION to include it in the next one!

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

I don't think you can if you are looping. Get a 64 SD card. I can go for 2 weeks before it starts over. If you want to loop but capture incidents find out how long your SD card will go and swap it out just before you fill it up.

Yes, this camera loops the video recording so that if the memory card is full, the oldest video is deleted and overwritten. I like that it saves the video in 2-minute segments (although there might be an option to make it longer than that). Larger video segments take longer to download or open in a video editor.Also, if something happens and you want to prevent that 2-minute segment from being deleted, there is a 'lock' button which will prevent that segment from being deleted.

That's correct that one file had no data at all, and technically its file name itself was the data. I have no idea why it would not work. It worked for me, and all I did was copy the files to the root directory of the card, put the card in the camera, turn it on, and the upgrade went as expected. The instructions say that if you leave the files on the card, the upgrade will happen each time you turn on the camera.I'd suggest making sure that the files didn't get copied to a sub-directory (such as DCIM or the one with the videos) by mistake. You can also check the firmware version again just to see if it changed. That's correct that one file had no data at all, and technically its file name itself was the data.

I don't know exactly but it IS limited. I put 650-700 photos on the card the first time and it would only read just. It showed those particular photos over and over again (not anywhere close to all the photos on the card). I went back and put only a dozen or two on the card and it read them OK. I haven't had time to find out exactly how many it will read on the card yet. Sorry.

Yes and 3 min segments are suggested. The camera will created a new video every 3:01 (One second of overlap) and erase the oldest video file and start over when card becomes full.

http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/40743279This limit is designed into the camera itself and is not related to the type of SDCard used.

No, it will not overwrite videos when the card is full it will just stop recording, with a warning on the screen.

I'm not sure how long it lasts, but it lasts a long time. It will record over the existing files when the card is full unless you press emergency recording to avoid overwrite. I don't think you can use 128gb card because I tried to use 64GB card and it didn't work until I bought a 32GB card.

After the SD card is filled, it loops itself and writes over the old videos.

It overwrites the oldest files in the card automatically. So yes it does loop. Keep in mind that those files that are saved as events will not be overwritten , so too many events can cause quicker loops. Once a week SD formatting is recommended which can be done on the computer or on the blackvue itself (I trust the computer more but that's just me).

Ok, someone will probably give a better answer than me, but, assuming I understand the question: Camera can be set for either circular recording or not. Circular means it will record until the memory card is full, then start overwriting the files from the beginning. If Circular is "off", it will just fill up the memory card and stop. HOWEVER, it doesn't just record "one big file". It records 10, 15, or 20 minute files (user selectable), one after another. So, say you have it running continuous, 15 minute file size. It will record a 15 minute file, then immediately record another 15 minute file, and so on. Depending on resolution and memory card size, you will end up with dozens (or potentially hundreds) of sequential 10 to 20 minute long video files. Actually really handy, just find the one that has the information you want on it, rename it and save it. Easy peasy. It will keep recording files until the memory card is full (up to 64 hours continuous on a 64 gig card, depending on resolution, etc), then it will start recording over the oldest files. Does that make sense? It is a cool little videocam, and it can be configured pretty extensively. Hope that helps.

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.

Hello, I took my camera on vacation with this memory card took over 300 photographs. I did not have a problem.

No, it is false. The camera deletes the older file and starts recording in that new space. I have proved it with a 32gb it works good.
