It will automatically record over old video files unless you have pressed the video button to mark a video or the unit marks it for you because it sensed an event. Three 4-5 minute files are saved with each mark; the marked file and the one in front and behind it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it auto records over the old. You can download the manual. You can also lock frames.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It continuously and automatically overwrites all files except those that have been automatically or manually saved. There is no indication of when the card is "full". If you find that you are getting a lot of automatic saves, or if you have manually saved a lot or taken lots of pictures, I would recommend replacing the 4 GB card with a larger capacity one. You only need to reformat the card if you have a lot of saved data on it THAT YOU NO LONGER NEED. You CAN reformat it as often as you like.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. It erases the oldest video when the card meets it capacity.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does automatically delete older video and replace with new as the video card reaches capacity.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the camera records over the old video if there is not an event on the memory. Any recorded event will protect the memory card from being over-recorded.
