The invention provides a system for successive record, which is used for recording a video file at certain time. The system comprises a set module, a timing recording module, a time module, an alarm module, a storage module, a starting module and an ending module, wherein the set module is used for setting on-off state parameters, pre-alarm time and starting time and ending time of timing record; the timing recording module is used for recording the video file according to specific time; the time module is used for obtaining timing time and recorded time and calculating residual time by subtracting the recorded time from the timed time; the alarm module is used for obtaining the pre-alarm time and the residual time, comparing whether the residual time is less than the pre-alarm time or not and alarming when the residual time is less than the pre-alarm time; the storage module is used for storing the video file; the starting module is used for obtaining the on-off state parameters and determining whether the recording module carries out the timed record or not during starting up; and the ending module is used for ending the record when a stored video file exceeds the system support volume or reaches the timed record ending time. Users can successively record in time by utilizing the system so as to keep the integrity of the record. In addition, the invention also provides a method for successive record.
