Is it possible for the camera to overwrite older videos?

Hi, is it possible to setup the DS-2CD2132F-IS and/or the DS-2CD2032-i to overwrite the older videos when the storage is full? Basically, I'd like the cameras to behave as if they had an endless loop, overwriting the older videos as the storage starts being exhausted. Possible?

If not possible, then how do you guys manage a remote NAS? Do you have to constantly keep re-formatting the NAS from the camera menu?

What type of storage are you / will you be using?
Be aware there are some quirks around the target volume size, some discussion on that topic on this forum.
Not that I've used it for a while - the storage can be set to overwrite / loop and seems to do that OK, setting is here:
