Does the LCD display stay on while recording? Can you set it to stay on/off?

You have the option having it go to sleep after a few minutes as well as keeping it on indefinitely.

Yes, you can set up the 'screensaver' to turn of the display at a 3 minute minimum - goes completely dark except for the small red led that indicates recording. It is a bit distracting at night with the display on, so it's nice to have the screen go dark after the first 3 minutes.

Yes, you can just click on rec button to pause or close the lcd screen to also pause the record.

The display on the back will always stay on as well as the film indicator on the top screen. To know if it is off go by the screen on top. If all you see is the film load indicator it is powered off.

I didn't set timer for recording. However, the recording can only assign to one camera only and that explains the stop switching issue. Defender do have their tech support website at http://www.defender-usa.com/support.eng-3.html?type=&search;=&cat;_id=2

It can record at night. While recording the display shuts off. Connect to computer later to download results

No, it does not have an LCD screen. If you need to see what you are recording, you stream it to your phone.

No it does not, or at least none that I'm aware of. I only use it a few times. I does have recording capabilities on everything that can be monitor which is nice.

Not that I have noticed, but the software records at about a 1-2 second delay. So make sure you use a second monitor/TV.

hi,dear friend, there's a manual for this camera. 1) Long press the "power" key to start, press the "power" key to save and stop recording. 2) The led is off(flashes 3 times then goes off) during recording.

The picture remains on, it has never shut off like a screen saver, and it is a very clear picture, even at night. hope this helps. You should also know that there are many advanced features, so you wish, you can set it to keep the picture off until there is noise, and you pick the level of noise that will trigger the picture. It really is a good monitor if you can get it at a good price.

If you want to record from it you do. If you only want to monitor it from a TV or display and not record, then no.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

The unit is off when you press the "off" button. but will always be recording when on". The exception is when you are in the menu mode for reviewing and such. Garmin chose to do this because, it eliminates the possibility of just viewing and, "not", recording during a critical time. I have a very early model, and I am sending it to Garmin under warranty to be checked out. I could not download files as I once did. They do stand by their warranty.

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