Can I set it up so that it continues to record for a couple minutes after the car stops?

Only if the power is left on to the camera. It would then be continually on until it shuts down after you remove the power. I would think twice about this camera. I have had trouble with it and E Prance is not helpful at all as I have contacted them and they state that they are unwilling to help me. I am looking into another brand of dash cam, one that is more reliable and that has customer service and that will deal with the issues not just walk away from the problem. I hear Blackvue is bad as well for their customer service too.

I find that the camera generally shuts down within 45 seconds of external power being shut off. If the motion sensor is activated, the time may be shorter.It is possible to use the battery and make it an external camera/video camera but the instructions are so poorly written that it's trial and error on how to do that or even get into the menu section.

The remote power does not have to be on for the camera to continue recording, up to 5 minutes, (as long as the internal battery is charged). Once power is removed, the camera uses its internal battery to continue recording for the duration you choose in the settings, (1, 3, or 5 minutes).

It will keep recording as long as the remote power is on. On my car the lighter plug is always on so I have to manually unplug it to turn it off. If your car lighter plug turns off when the key is turned off, then the camera will turn off as well. The camera will only record for a couple of minutes or less on it's own power.

Hi Jame's Dad, Thank you for your inquiries! Recording Sound, or Not On the Dash Cam menu, you do have the option to have the microphone on or off. Just press the "Menu" button. Use the arrow buttons to move the selection up or down until to find "Audio Record". Press the "OK" button on the top of the camera to select "Audio Record". Use the arrows again to select on or off. and press the "OK" button. when done, press "Menu" to get back to the main screen. There is a Microphone image that will appear when sound recording is on. It will disappear when sound recording is off. Sound & Volume The best sound from the videos you record will be heard in playback mode on your computer where external settings can be altered. When playing the video back on the cam itself, there is a limited amount of volume the unit will be able to play back, but it should be relatively comparable to the unit you have received. Loop Recording with this model Dash Cam A 32GB SD card will record up to 6 hours of continuous footage (depending upon use). It saves the files in 2 minutes intervals, continually dropping the oldest footage. The camera also has a g-sensor and a panic button -- when pressed/activated the camera will lock the current video for one minute before and after -- these videos can only be deleted by formatting the SD card. Upon playback on your computer you can save the videos in 2 minute increments or as one full video (up to 2GB each). "Auto-Off" If turned on and plugged in while the car is off, the cam could pull from the car's battery. This depends on your car. Some cars will shut off power to these outlets while others will not. The camera normally will shut off automatically when the car is turned off. I hope that information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

yes, it can only record for 10 minutes at a time, it's in the manual. So you have to break it up into 10 minute segments.

Sure, just do not operate it while driving. It is battery operated and has a "record" function.

It should record as long a there is movement. I believe this can be set up.

Mine is set to record continuously as long as power is on from car. Shuts off about one minute after power goes off. Resolution is not that great! can't read license plate directly in front of me!

it records in ten minute segments but restarts automatically so it does not miss anything that i've noticed.

Simple answer is YES, but you need the car power on or have the camera power on to record everything..

if you can get the "Quick Start Guide" you will find the answer. try their website www.zetta.com.hk for the manualIt has to do with "custom setting", options to start - stop recording when in the car.

I think one minute and 59 seconds is the maximum recording time on one setting. The car cam then goes on to record another 1:59 and on and onuntil the micro card is full. I would prefer to have it record continuously until the card is full but I can't figure out how to do it. There is a menusetting where you can theoretically record continuously for longer periods but it doesn't seem to work. Best to go scroll through the menu items and play around with the settings. Have you sent an emailto the distributor? Might be a good idea to ask. The instruction manual is OK but doesn't have enoughinformation.

It will record 24/7 as long as you have the power on. Since most cars kill the lighter when the key is removed, you might have to rig so it has power all the time. Make sure you have good size memory card too. Remember, if dark environment; you will not get anything on the video; only audio.

No. I left this cam recording (with screen turned off) seven long days and it worked flawlessly. My car battery wasn't drained.

P.S. I forgot, I think it will allow pausing while recording.... but have not tried it myself.

The most Ive been able to record at a time is 2:00 min then it stops and you have to start over .

I have been using it for months now and it records per minutes totaling to 60 minutes. Not continuous. You may need more memory.

It will record any sounds that you can here from inside the vehicle (You can turn the sensitivity up/down/off). The 128GB in HD gives me 2+ hours a day of recording for 3 to 4 weeks before it automatically records over the oldest.

Yes, one button allow you to start/stop the recording. About the ten minutes I think It can, depends on the battery.
