Is this works as Security Cam or Driving Recorder (DVR)? Such as start recording by external power on & overwrite newer video when full of storage.

no... it's not intended for that sort of thing.. When the memory card is full it shuts itself off until you change the card or erase it.

No, it does not work as a security cam with the external power on. Once the external power is on, it has two choices. 1) to power the cam, and 2) to the storage (SD card and main drive). The cam only works when the external power is taken off of the camera. It doesn't overwrite with a newer video, it continuously records until the storage is full and that's it.

Hi , thats a useful and efficient dvr for recording two channels only. its not an editing machine. its small, compact and possible to be hidden in walls and cabinets. it has efficient power consumption and fast recording of two channels on an SD card (not supplied with the system) . so to answer your question, you can not do editing or video management from the DVR itself. straight forward - connect and record.

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.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

DVR = Digital Video RecorderWhich is exactly what this device does... sounds like you ar emisunderstanding the term.

That would be a matter of personal choice, but since the DVR overwrites the oldest file first when the card gets full, you could leave it on. You never know when something will happen that would make you wish you had left the cam on.

This camera simply connects to a surveillance camera DVR. It doesn't record to itself.

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

What you're missing is the last part, "Car Alarm Remote Keychain DVR Camera". It is shaped and looks like a car alarm remote but is actually a DVR camera. You insert a microSD memory card to record the video on. It can be used as a car key ring and you would have the ability to record video when needed. It's also widely used for radio control videoing when attached to a plane or car.

This is not a dvr...it's a camera. The recorder you choose will determine if it uses motion activation or continuous record.

Yes it should work with most dvr security system on the market today. Do you know that this camera is not for closes area. This camera is for long distant shooting like mounted on top of the wall and shooting a parking lot. I used this camera to shoot across the show room floor where I can't put a standard camera.

Not sure if this WD hard drive will work for DVR security systems...I know that WD hard drives that end in -AVGP work for DVR.

I have used it to convert the HD-SDI output of regular video cameras direct to TV with great success, I see no reason why it would not work with a security camera's HD-SDI output. As long as the output is in fact HD-SDI and not just a BNC composite output, I am virtually 100% SURE IT WOULD WORK.

I think any DVR would work . I am using it as a surveillance cam with a 12 volt transformer

thanks. actually not. For recording, it needs internal SATA hard drive. external hard drive can be for back up, transferring videos out. Instruction for hard drive installation:http://defeway.com/download/how%20to%20install%20a%20hard%20drive.pdf

Don't know - I used it with a DVR and it worked great! Caught a thief the first 24 hours of use.

It records video and GPS data separately. Only to use Virb editor s/w to turn on GPS data over video
