what do these use for memory? do they take sandisk or do they need an external DVR? or do they have built-in memory?

They use micro sd memory.. You need to buy one.. It is not included.. Make sure you format it FAT

Do I need a separate recorder/hard drive to store recorded data? If not, how long does it record before the 'loop' ends and it starts rewriting over itself?

I purchased one and installed on my DVR box (SA Explore 8300HDC). The DVR recognized the drive and prompted for formatting the drive. Another reboot of the DVR and every thing works. I did not lose my previously recorded video. Thanks,--CY

Not sure what your question is but to let you know I bought five of them before Christmas and none of them worked. I was very disappointed because I had 100 GB to install on them pictures and histories but would not respond. I even had a computer tech check them out but sure enough not worth spending a dime on them.

I did not try that yet but I looked it up. Each disc has 4.7GB storage capacity for storing thousands of digital photos and up to six hours of video. I used them to record my videos and they worked great. I hope this helps.

I have two of these camera but I have no idea how much built in memory they have. They are designed to use the mini dv tapes or onto a memory chip that does not come with the camera. I use the mini dv tapes that I guy from amazon really cheap and they will have 1 hour per tape if you use the regular settings.

These cameras do not have a slot for and SD card. As far as recording, they have triggering for sound and movement that can record for a brief moment, as well as send an email. I haven't used this feature, but it should be able to ftp a recorded file based on one of these events.

Sorry I do not know. I used them to create recovery disks. I believe so BC they should be able to handle it. If they are long movies, it will take more than one disk.

It uses a thumb drive, I don't even know if there is any internal memory. Probably not. I gave as a gift so I didn't really try it out.

Is there any way to record directly to the card and bypass the internal memory?? thanks

I use 16gb's of various brands. They have capacity for more than four hours of video, which is far more than I have ever needed as I check it every week or so.

Well if you want to keep an archive of things that the camera sees you will need a DVR. The monitor or TV yes you do if you want to see what the camera saw. What do you think?

And my experience - I've purchased like 5 of them in the last year, 1 of them (8 GB) failed after a few weeks, all pictures/videos lost. So many people complain here the same. They have a big percentage of lemons. If you do buy one of these, be sure to backup the entire card as often as possible - at least on a daily basis, or whenever you take new photos/videos.I have also been using for so many years Sandisk, and never had a problem with them. They are a bit more expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

I have had excellent results with the CIB DVR, they are priced pretty cheap. They have internet & phone/tablet viewing capability also. Mine was $120 without the SATA Hard Drive, since I already had a hard drive, but they are not much more for one that includes a hard drive pre-installed.

I've used them to back up older VHS tapes using a combination VHS/DVD-Recorder without any problem. Though many VHS tapes have Macrovision which makes them unable to be recorded on any media.

It takes only the standard Sandisk. But it has slots for 2 of them so your max memory would be 128Gig, with two 64 gig cards. There's also a way to record directly to a PC, but I've never had a memory shortage problem, and I've never tried it.

It does not have memory. If you have a dvr input card on your computer you can hook it to that , otherwise it has to go to a vcr or a dvr. Should probabaly look for ip network camera.
