How many day can the Hard drive store the recording if the recorder records 27/7? Will it roll over if the HD runs out of space?

I can't say much on this item. I bought it as a gift for my parents and they have taken over it ever since. They sure are happy with it though.

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.

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.

The internal harddrive is 500 Gb...enough for a month of recording according to the manual, but with all 16 channels active, I get just over two weeks.

Cant really tell, I only record my 3 favorite shows per week on a 160GB HD, so I assuming as much as the HD will hold.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

Its max card size is 8 gigs. Not sure if that's enough space to record 24 hours, as I'm not sure how to adjust the resolution.

It depends on how long you wish to save the footage. Generally the hard drive is adequate since once there is not an incident there is no need to save the footage and it can be written over. You can download footage of interest to the through the USB onto a flash drive, etc. The drive space can also be extended using the motion sensor feature in that only if there is motion the footage is recorded. I don't use this feature and the drive can store almost 30 days of footage. The only limitation is when it begins to record over old footage it erases the entire drive and begins again so old footage is lost. It depends on how long you wish to save the footage.

The hard drive will record over the previous data by it's self. You don't have to do anything. If there is any data you want to save you will have to down load it before the hard drive rewrites over it.

Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but I dropped a 750gb drive in it and it records a LOT!

Please elaborate the question to help you better ... what do you mean by "what kind of hard disc"? It has a built in 30GB hard drive. For average quality recordings, it covers several hours of clips. Then I transfer them to my laptop. Does that help?

This all depends on how you record. I'm recording continuously from a pair of DCS-932L cameras at 640x480 "medium quality" MJPEG with Audio at 12-15 frames per second and it seems like my 1TB drive will hold about 8 days of video before it starts overwriting the oldest video. If my cameras supported h.264 encoding rather than MJPEG, it would hold quite a bit more, I believe. The resolution, framerate, and audio all play into how much space the video takes up. If I only had one camera, or was only recording on motion-activation events (rather than continuously), it would probably take over a month before it rolled over. So the short answer is "it depends", but there's my experience.

It will record continuously, but can also be set to record on motion detection. How long it records depends on available hard drive space and what you're recording. I am recording two DCS-932L cameras at 12-15FPS using high-quality (recently increased from medium) MJPEG 640x480. I have a 1TB external drive and typically get about 8.5 days backlog before it begins to automatically overwrite the oldest recorded video. If you use h.264 encoding it will probably store more video (due to the better compression), and if you record at higher resolutions it will probably not record as much before having to overwrite.

Depending on the size of the media storage connected to the recorder - approximately at 5 to 6 GB per hour for HDTV signal. I have a 750 GB USB drive connected to it and so it can record over 130 hours of TV shows.

This DVR allows you to record continuously 24/7 as long as you have enough room on your Hard drive. It does record all cameras connected if you choose to record 24/7. You can manually press the record button and will begging to record all cameras connected until you stop it or hard drive is full. You can also choose to record when motion is detected. Choosing this option, only the cameras that detect motion will begin to record, therefore allowing the hard drive to store only files in which motion is detected. Hope this answers your question.

Hello Jo, the highest recording level is 960H, it could support a hard drive up to 2TB, thank you!

All the time. On hi-res with full time recording on all channels, it will record/store over a week straight before it overwrites.

I did calculation before. As I can remember, roughly speaking, for a 250GB hard drive(I put a 2.5 inch sata laptop hard drive inside the box), I could make uninterrupted recordings from two channel cameras for 2 weeks long.
