When the camera is plug to the 12V outlet, memory card is inside, you can charge while recording in 15 minutes segments, it will auto save and restart new files, over-write the oldest files when memory is full (Looping). Never out of juice and memory.

Yes, as long as you are plug to the 12V and a card inside, it automatically records in 15 mins segments, saves and restarts new files. When the memory is full, it is programmed to over-write the oldiest files (looping). Another word, you can ride across the world many times, never need to charge and worry no juice and no memory.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

it has a min. .10 seconds and a max.60 seconds i believe .........i have mine up right now or i would double check..........it might have a max.of only .30 seconds(sorry) but those are the ranges and then there is a delay mode which is kind of "cool" which gives u default .05 seconds or u can set it to .30 seconds max. in between the video that just recorded and the next video.............so it isnt just taking one after the other after the other(breaks the videos up)............

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

Yes. Turning on the power starts recording in a few seconds. The recording time depends on the memory stick inserted. A few hours on mine. In record mode it breaks the segments into a couple of minutes each so you don't end up with huge long recording times of useless information. There is also an editing software included with the camera. Overall, this camera seems pretty good.

I have the same problem, I can do a one time recording but not a timed recording. According to the instruction manual set up for time recording and set input on/standby switch to standby. What am I doing wrong.

It takes a few seconds before recording starts after you push record. As for looking at it, I don't think it knows if you're looking at it or not. Just push the record button, look wherever you want.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Hi, yes it work like that, you need to choose recording time, 3 or 5 min. and it makes files 5 minutes and saves, until card is full, starts delete old files adding new, like 16GB it will be plenty for you, it take up to 32GB. My camera working so far no problems. If camera loses charge you will need to reset the time and date, but still will recorded and make files.Let me know if this is helpful.

We haven't recorded past 5 min at one time..but throught out the day couple min at a time..it adds up to anywhere from15-20 min..so what they mean is that you cant record more then 10 min straight I guess..anyway hope this helps..super clear pics and vids

I havent used it a lot to record but i think it records individually. I will check it put and will update this answer if needed.

If you have a 9-volt battery inside, it will retain the recording that is in memory. If you don't, and you disconnect from the DC power supply, you will lose whatever has been stored. I've been burned a couple of times though because my 9V battery didn't have enough charge to retain the recording, and I lost the recording when I disconnected the power supply. (This device is hard on 9V batteries.) Alas, it was never meant to be a permanent recording device, so it keeps me on my toes in terms of getting good at playing the initial loops.

It will record continuously until it runs out of battery or memory - which ever comes first. If you plug in the usb power charger, you can eliminate the battery limit. I have recorded as much as two hours without attending to the camera during that time.

Actually in the ad it says 15 hours recording time, not 150 hours. Wish it was 150 hours though!!! But I see where the 150 was pulled from, the item title. Maybe they should clear this up between title & description.

It needs to remain plugged in to your car power source. It will keep recording and will record over the already recorded data after so many hours. Just a quick note........I made comments after the one I got and said how good it was, I got another one for my second car and it only worked for a few days then quit, it had to be returned

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.
