does this only run on a timer or will it stay on all night

It will stay on all night. Using the timer is optional. I've had mine for a year and a half and just love it! My little one loves the projector too!

It stays on all night. My daughter has used hers all night every night for 5 years now.

It will stay on all night long if you want it to. The timer is optional to use.

stays on about 15 seconds, it can also be set to just stay on until you turn it off

Think of it as a light bulb...once it gets triggered, ('switched on'), it stays on until you, or your triggering system, shuts it off or resets. It doesn't have it's own timer....same as a light bulb.

nope, no timer function. you'd have to manually change its mode each night.

The timer on the 100 is what I consider essential. It turns itself off during the night, so I don't have to worry about it.

I don't know. It was in my house for an hour and then back in the box. I think it can stay on. The timer may just be an option...

We've had since May 2014 and have been through 5 sets of batteries. We use the timer and so it only runs for about an hour every night. Hope that helps!

It depends what setting you have it on. We have ours set so the light only comes on at night, but it records all the time.

You have the option to set the timer for 20 minutes or it can stay on all night if you choose..

It runs until you turn it off. I leave it on low during the day and turn it off at night. If we are having company I will run it on high for a few hrs before they come then turn it on low. It's very quiet so you don't notice that it's even on. Hope this helps

I've never run it all night, but it has an on and off switch. I turn it on when I want it to run and turn it off when I am ready to stop it. If I didn't turn it off, I'm sure it would run all night.

Yes, if it's "Timer," it operates based on the timer you set up. If it's "On," then it stays on constantly

Yes, there is no setting for it to only run at night. I was very happy with the way the camera worked though, and I had the camera up for a month and a half and the batteries weren't down any more than 50%.

If you place the timer switch to manual override I believe the floodlight will stay on for up to 6 hours. I will have to check the directions but I'm not sure if the 6 hour time period starts at dusk or when the timer switch is first is first moved to the manual override position.

No it is not on a timer but it is really a nice swag. I bought it anyway and no regrets. I don't mind turning it on when I want it on.

There are two different settings. There is a setting where it will stay on all night, and there is a different setting where it turns off after 20 minutes. The switch for the time setting is on the bottom of the animal, next to where the batteries go in, so it does't get changed accidentally.

The machine stays on all night, unless you use the timer, ie. set it to go off at 30 min, 60 min, etc. I just leave mine on all night, usually on white noise or waterfall sounds. I use it every night; one of my best purchases ever.
