Depending on the resolution and duration of the video, there are many cases where the remaining capacity of the PC to which it is connected must be taken into consideration.
The GV-US2C/HD allows the user to choose where to save the data: an SD card inserted in the main unit, a PC connected to the unit, or a USB hard disk connected to the PC.
The video resolution can also be set from three types, so depending on the content of the video, the resolution can be reduced to save space.

Voice chat audio is also recorded at the same time.
