What determines record time? Hardware or the size of the SD card? What is the max record time at 1080p?

The hardware, SD card size, and particular settings will determine record time. As a quick and dirty rule of thumb for 1080p, I use 10 minutes per GB of card size. Actual mileage will vary.

Well SD cards have different classes which effect video. Make sure your card is a class 6 or better. You will see that number on the card. The higher the number better for video. I use a class 10. If you card is OK then yes go to your settings in the software and check frame rates and anything else. The quility should be smooth, I think the highest setting is 30 frames per second. I can set this camera out and get around 8 hours out of battery and still has space on a 32 GB card. If the video is choppy make sure frame rates are set to highest. Hope this helps.

May be the setting, but I know it should record 5 minutes segment in each file. This way it is easy to find the file. You also might need to buy a 32GB memory card because I first used a 64GB card. It didn't work and I bought a 32GB card, it works fine until now. I hope it will help you.

I'm using a 32gb microsd (tf) card, to be honest it is very hard to tell because it's a blackbox. When it "fills up" it continuously records, overwriting the earlier videos, so I just have it recording for the last few months without any issues.

I am using a 16 gb card and get about 4 hours of video before it starts recording over again. I would imagine a 32 gb card would give you almost 8 hours. I am recording at 1080 30fps. I haven't tried other resolutions but you should expect a bit longer record time even at higher fps.

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.

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.

I use a 32 mb sd card which at 20 frames per second gives about 14 hrs continuous recording

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

Standard size SD Card.I am using a 32GB High Capacity SD Card and at 720p 60fps it says I can record almost 6hrs.

There are multiple variables that you have to take into account. Are you using 16 cameras or less. Obviously with fewer cameras there is less video being recored. Next are you recording in the highest video clarity... 960 vs. 480. What size hdd do you have installed and do you also use an external? Finally I am not sure if you can only record 16 hours and then just record motion only for the other 8 or not. Unfortunately your question can't be answered easily with out more information. I would look at worse case when you do it though to figure out if its going to last long enough for you.

It depends on CD card capacity and resolution. With max supported 32GB CD card in 1080P recording time is 4h; in 720P it will record 8 h.

Almost all SD cards over 4 gb will give you a 9 minute video max I found. That's a camera limitation and not the limitation of your SD card. I found that after the 9 minutes, I restart the video and make another 9 minute video. The only tradeoff is I have to edit the video to make the transition from the first to the second video as smooth as possible.

It is in the monitor and it records over 7hr as long as I keep the monitor on the charging dock. I brought the 32sd.you have to purchase the SD card yourself I brought mines on Amazon for $15

I think you can choose to record in 1min 5 min and 10min segments. Also, you choose the quality of he video. You choose the size of your SD card. All of these parameters determine how much video time you can record. It's been a long time, but I recall that 1m takes about 40-70Mb of memory. This also depends on your lighting and camera. Better lighting and camera produce better quality video and the size of the video is larger.
