Can the Reolink Windows 10 Client overwrite local files once HDD full?

[marshallclow_469340688855210]

So I am going to get the RLC-820A POE cams and wire them up to a POE switch > Router > Access via Windows 10 Reolink Client.

1. As I understand it, the Reolink Windows Client can record to a local dedicated HDD on the PC if the PC is left running?
2. If (1) is true, is it possible to overwrite those local recordings once the drive is full, automatically?
3. If (2) is false, is there anything else I can do to avoid purchasing an NVR just to overwrite files for me automatically (i.e. SD card in camera, other software, FTP server, etc.) or am I SOL? Any answer here is welcome besides paid subscription based cloud storage.

All of my Reolink cameras record to an SD card (maximum 256MB) that is housed inside the camera.The RLC-820A supports SD Card storage:

I also have my cameras FTP motion recordings to an FTP server (actually on the same PC as the Reolink Client). I have a Windows batch script that runs once a day and 'cleans up' the FTP server by (a) deleting jpeg files after a few days and deleting mpeg files after two weeks. Here's what my batch file looks like:

ECHO Job begins %date% %time%
ECHO Remove JPG files older than 3 days
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\FrontDoorCam /s /m *.jpg /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\HondaCam    /s /m *.jpg /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\PickupCam   /s /m *.jpg /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\ShedCam     /s /m *.jpg /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\SideCam     /s /m *.jpg /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
ECHO Remove MPG files older than 15 days
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\FrontDoorCam /s /d -15 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\HondaCam    /s /d -15 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\PickupCam   /s /d -15 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\ShedCam     /s /d -8 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
Forfiles /p D:\Reolink\SideCam     /s /d -15 /c "cmd /c del @file /f /q"
ECHO Remove Empty Directories
Robocopy D:\Reolink D:\Reolink /S /MOVE

You could probably do a similar batch file for the Reolink Download folder.
I have no idea what happens when cameras are set to "continuous record".

1. Yes, our Client can record to the local PC. But the setting will apply to all the cameras connecting to the Client instead of a specific camera.
2. You can set up video recording folder size. When reaching the video-recording size, it will overwrite the early recording first.
3. If you put the SD card into the camera, you can set it to overwrite.

@reolink-fiona I setup the Video Recording Folder size so it overwrites older files but it is not overwriting. Please assist in setting up the correct settings.

@grod777_275772032561320 There is no overwrite. You need to create a batch file to delete old files and use a scheduler to run it at your specific times. Normally the Windows client is not meant to record 24x7.
