hi, I would like to know if the front room while recording, the display is turned on. I would like to do the recording in the mirror without seeing the same. And 'possible? THANKS

The video shows on the mirror as it starts recording, then turns off after 1 minute. I believe you can change the setting so that it does not come on at all.

The recorder does have a display of what is being recorded. It can be turned off or on. The same with the audio. You can turn the audio to record or not record. I have it my recorder set to display what is being recorded and the audio set to record. You can't go wrong with this for the price.

According to the timer on the screen, it appears to be recording even when the room is dark and there is no one there but I'm not sure because I usually stop looking at the recording when the timer is still going and there is nothing but darkness on thescreen.

No, the camera doesn't record audio, I've not tried the clock but the indoor one is just video, and try to avoid very dark or very bright spaces.

Dont know if its too late to answer this to you... but I did fix it myself just sticking a piece of dark tape on the lateral... just over the round mirror found bellow the on/off switch. I did realize that it was sending some signals to the camera saying it was not night. Maybe some reflex from the white wall. So, I did tape it and now its working fine!

According to the instructions, in the Menu there is an option for Audio Record - "On/Off". I have never used this option---I leave it in the default Audio mode (On).

Yes, we do this all the time! For instance, last Sunday, we watched the Grammys and I had preset the recorder to record 2 episodes of Downton Abby. We watched Downton the next night. I have never tried just hitting record, but it sounds as though it would if you are in record mode, then return to TV mode to watch TV. I'll try it, and if it doesn't work, I'll do an update.

I just found out it does. Once in the secret setting there is an option to record audio and video at the same time.

Hi. No the indicator does not change color when the unit is recording. Remember you can turn the indicator completely off.

Yes, there is a flip option in the setup, you will have to set flip on or off before recording, you cannot change this while recording.

Totally normal. The picture is a splash screen, sonething to occupy you visually while the cam starts up. The screen does shut off and the cam IS recording after the display goes dark. You can change the display time to 1 minute or 5 minutes in the setup screen, even have it stay on for the entire recording until the vehicle is shut off. Always on is NOT an option unfortunately.

Hi Radames, the camcorder may only be used as a monitor while recording or playback. It will display the same view as is on the LCD. Thanks_Mitch

You can turn sound recording on or off permanently in the recording settings. There is no way to turn it off temporary. I.e. to turn sound recording on or off you have to get into camera settings menu (not a big deal though).

There is an on/off switch that you use when you need it to record or stop recording. It won't automatically start recording for you. And it doesn't need to be plugged into any device when you want to record only when you need to listen to your recordings or when it is charging. And in case this is helpful to you or anyone else, I have the Microsoft surface and it won't play on there because there isn't an app i can use to play it, but it will play back on my laptop and computer because both devices already have a program that it can play the recordings on. Hope this info helps!

This is the coolest little device I've seen in a while. We use it to take videos/pictures during family times for those unexpected and unposed moments. I've never had to click the screen on...I've never really thought about it because when I want the picture/video I just hit record and I've always got the moment. Good luck.

The image switch from room to room every minute I think!!! So yes you can hear the room that is showing in the camera!!!

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

Yes. You can choose to record it while you view it or just view it. Works very well.
