want to use it to record 6 hours of road trips... don't want it "looping" and deleting preveous video. is this possible?

Dear anna, I am glad to receive your asking. If your memory card capacity is large enough and set the looping mode to "off". The GS2000 can record over 6 hours. Hope you would like it. If you have any question please feel free to contact us. Regards Leif

I have never had to record a shot that was non-stop so I dont know, but I would assume you would run out of storage space before the battery died. The battery life is quite impressive

Oh, it can be re-used as many times as needed. I originally made this post before I received mine. It can record up to 60 minutes. If you need more than 60 minutes, simply plug it into your usb port and store the video file on your computer and then delete it off of the camera. Video files are in AVI format

Haven't done it myself but if you really wanted to you could set up a machine with a screen capture going and that would record all that was coming in - like Camtasia. Think you'd really need to tweak the settings to not fill up a 100gb/hour or something absurd

The record time depends on a lot of different things. Resolution, frame rate, size of the memory card and battery life. If you have the resolution and frame rate down, there should be enough time to fill a memory card. You can allow the GoPro+ to loop your footage if you are using it as a dash cam so that you dont have to go in and delete your old footage. It will record over the oldest footage. You can get a car adapter or use the wall adapter for the USB cord and use a power inverter to plug your GoPro in and charge. You will need to use the skeleton housing that comes as a secondary housing with each GoPro + to have the camera plugged in and mounted to your dash at the same time. Hope this helps. If using it for a dash cam i suggest getting a 64 GB micro SD card and the car charger adapter. You can use the flat adhesive mount on your dash or get the suction cup mount as an accessory if you don't want to permanently have a mount on your dashboard.

You could record it if you had a screen capture program. You would almost have to have a PC dedicated just for that and some really huge hard drives. When I used to record on my old camera (wired) It would go through a terrabyte drive pretty quickly. So even if you did do that, much time would need to be dedicated to reviewing the footage at fast speeds. It can take hours every day to do that. I personally think its worth the cost to be able to see the markers on the cloud recording and to be able to check it on my phone.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

I have not used the time lapse function but I am sure that you cannot power the device via USB while actually recording. It is battery or nothing. I reduce the quality of my video and my battery is good for 2.5 to 3.0 hours. If that works for you, than this is a good buy. If not, than there are better options for your purpose.

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

Yes, this camera loops the video recording so that if the memory card is full, the oldest video is deleted and overwritten. I like that it saves the video in 2-minute segments (although there might be an option to make it longer than that). Larger video segments take longer to download or open in a video editor.Also, if something happens and you want to prevent that 2-minute segment from being deleted, there is a 'lock' button which will prevent that segment from being deleted.

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

Yes, you can. If you are using the camera for video, it has a 15 minute limit. After that ,it shuts off, unless you reset it.

The camera keeps recording five minutes intervals and when is full it automatically starts deleting the oldest ones and replacing them with new ones. So it's infinite loop. My camera is use in truck and is running weekly five days nonstop without any problem.

Every time you start the engine, the video starts on new session or file. If you continue driving for say one hour, it will create new file every few minutes. Depend on size of the USB thumb drive, e.g. if yours is 20GB, then it will accumulate many files for many hours, and I think when all 20GB is filled then it will start writing over the oldest file automatically. My 20GB thumb drive is not full yet because I often remove my dashboard camera to avoid exposing to southern CA sun light and heat and forgot to mount it back. Other customers maybe able to confirm this. Kenny

Yes it loops and depending on the drive size and number of camera's you run it can go about 7 days before rewriting over old video.
