What format are the videos recorded on SD and does it loop record or just stop recording when no space left on SD?

It does loop record on a sd card. Also I love the fact that in an addition sends the pic to your email accounts. I recommend it.

You have to manually wipe it to re-record. Its capacity to record depends on the size of the memory card. I replaced the card that came with it because it had a very limited capacity (I think less than an hour at high resolution). With my 32 Gb SD card, it easily stores more than 4-hours of high resolution video.

The filming loops around the SDI card. The camera takes video in 3 minute increments and saves in 3 minute increments. You don't need to do anything. Downloading is at the computer.

You can simply erase the recordings, when full. I also use a 32g card, thinking it would get full quickly. If you have it set on motion detection, it would take months. I usually erase mine once every two weeks, since there is nothing I want to keep. Takes less time to erase each days recordings, when you have less days. I've had it a year and it works great. If it ever malfunctions, I'll definitely replace it with another. It is a real professional setup. Not like all the 'toys' on the market.

I have never filled a SD card but roughly you get about 20 minutes/GB at 720p. At that rate you should be able to get 10 hours on a 32gb card. Much less if you record at 1080.

To answer your question informatively, yes. In the system settings there is an option to overwrite last night's videos(for example). And if you say no. It will keep them until eventually your SD card runs out of memory. Also if you are curious whether this deletes other content inside the SD card besides the videos, the answer is no. The system makes a folder named "Videos" and only affects that folder. All other contents are left unchanged/unaltered. So you have no worries.

I've recorded video until the card filled up. Deleted it and did it again for several other events. Never had a problem. Works great!

by my understanding after using it and reading the manual, there are are only two options; loop or recording until full. The loop recording has three different times. However, the longest loop time is 10 minutes. This is my main complaint. Why only short loop recordings? If you turn OFF the loop, it keeps recording until the SD is full. Then, it stops recording unless you delete some recorded files or format it. Unlike a surveillance camera system, it is not capable to overwrite the storage and keeps recording over and over through the whole capacity of a storage. If I am wrong, please let me know. by my understanding after using it and reading the manual, there are are only two options; loop or recording until full.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

Hi. You can record as much and as long as you want depending on the size of your SD Card. There is a 30 minute limit to any one recording however, then you can begin recording again.

All footage is recorded in 3-minute clips. When the SD card gets full, old clips are automatically deleted and new ones saved in their place - from the oldest to the newest. The only exception are about 30-second clips recorded in "emergency" mode. Those have to be deleted manually. The emergency mode is activated in situations like sudden stopping, sharp turns, and larger bumps.

Plugged into the lighter it will record continuously. If the SD card gets full it just loops around and starts recording over the oldest files

It is a auto feature. I have a 32gb card in it which records about 16 hours when the sd card gets full it automatically starts recording over the old files. Nothing manual at all.

I get about 6 hours of video before it starts overwriting the oldest files. I use a Samsung MicroSDHC 32GB Class 6 and it works very well.

It uses minidv. To me it had been a major shortcoming as it has "eaten" some vital footage 3rd time using it due to time coding issues on the tape when stopping and starting frequently
