does this system require a hard drive to record?

Yes. Any SATA hard drive will work and it is easy to install. I do recommend using a Western Digital. From experience some of the other brands have problems handling the constant recording. You will also need a 12 V power supply for the cameras. There is a 4 way power plug adapter to power all the cameras however the actual power supply is not part of the package. You should be able to pick that up at any Radio Shack. I had one laying around from an old phone that worked so if you have something like that just make sure it is 12 V and fits the plug.

Yes. I simply added a formatted 500 gig sata drive and it works fine. That is if it doesn't come with one in the box....check to see what it is listed with.

Yes, this item records the video inside to an internal HDD. But some kits goes without this HDD, so check it twice!

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?

Hello Jo, the highest recording level is 960H, it could support a hard drive up to 2TB, thank you!

Yes, the camera can record directly to the hard drive on a PC or Mac. Video player software is also included for both platforms.

No hard drive. records directly to DVD. The machine is finicky about the type of DVD .used. DVD-RAM works best

It does not have a hard drive in it. It is just western digital expanding its horizons and doing very well at it. Thank you for your question.

No it's not correct. It does not have a hard drive at all. It has a solid state drive (SSD) that starts I believe at 256gb and goes out to 1 terabyte.

It is a CCTV camera so you will need a CCTV card in your computer with software to record onto the hard drive or a DVR for CCTV cameras. It is not a stand alone unit.

Yes you can add a hard drive (I put a 1 TB SATA) and then set it to record to it.

Hard drive is located inside the DVR Box. This model is not equipped with HDD. You need to install the HDD inside the DVR Box.

You will need a recording device such as digital video recorder (DVR) that stores the video on a hard drive or a SD card.

Yes, but it captures at an uncompressed bitrate, which will take up lots of space on your hard drive. A CCTV camera, that is running for hours, if not all day, would require massive amounts of storage, if you use this product. A CCTV DVR, which captures, and compresses, HD-SDI signals, is probably a better option for you. Good luck!
