sorry, I just read the other questions and it was answered. On it's lowest quality setting how long does it recored for before it loops back?

There are two different low settings.. One is 320x240 regular mode and that will last about 40 hours. The other is the super long record mode. That will work for aproximatly 30 days on a 32 GB card. -Nick at onlineenterprises888

To Stephen Clute: So why is it said to be able to record for 30 days?? If it keeps looping every 40 hours, it makes no sense to say it can record 30 days, since all you get will be the last 40 hours' activities. (Won't be suitable for weeks' vacation absent)

I just tried mine set at 1 second - it worked fine. But, I don't know why anyone would want to set that short a play time.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

Actually, I figured it out. Make sure you're not on mute, record something with sound. When you play it back, you need to turn up the volume by pressing the up arrow (or top of the) on the circular button to the right of the screen. You will then see the volume go up and start to hear the sound from the playback. Trust me though...the sound quality isn't all that. It sounds better when you play it back on a computer, but not by much. I had to remind myself not to get discouraged because after all...it's not a video camera by design. Hope this helps!

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

It might be defective programming that it was given. If you want to keep it, just adjust the timing.

I'm the author of the "what a shame" review. Mine did exactly the same except it worked for a short time before it started doing what yours does. I'd send it back before the 30 day window expires. Maybe you'll be lucky with a different one.

Amount/length of time recorded depends on file size, which in turn depends to the resolution of the imagery recorded. Poorer quality video = smaller files = more time recorded. I am running 2 cameras at default settings and looking at the Search function, can see events from about 6 weeks ago. HTH!

Yes it does loop. The time frame depends on your camera resolution settings. I think I have mine set on 640 lines and the loop is 21 days. Oldest recordings are erased first. This is a great system for homes or small businesses but make sure to secure the recorder against theft.

Wish I had an answer. I've noticed that about mine as well. I set the duration for 10 seconds, and it only dumps for 5 on the timer.

I honestly cannot tell you my man because I tested it to check the quality of the camera first then I plugged it into the computer and it didn't want to be recognized by the computer. I had to do a little tweaking here and there and finally it was recognized and I gotta Tell you that once I saw the quality of the pictures and the video, I was so disappointed and didn't even bother using it anymore. Sorry brother

Happy Birthday, Joey. I don't know, I haven't had that problem with my player. Of course the turn it off and then back on is the first thing to try. Have you heard the songs played OK on your player yet ? Because something might have happened when they were transferred or in the recording itself. Otherwise maybe try different equalizer (EQ) settings.

Jordan: Thanks for taking the time to reply: I must admit I knew NONE of the things U mentioned. I think I may try to find a calibration disk, or wud setting up my TV via the THX method set it for all input sources?

get the manual; I think it will loop, erase oldest and record indefinitely, don't really know though.

I have mine set as continuous loop, but when night driving the camera doesn't notice anything on dark highways, then stops recording only to start again when lights brighten the lens. I guess it thinks the vehicle isn't moving. I don't know. Just my observation, in which I don't care for. I would rather have the thing recording on the loop until I turn it off. So far I have not found that button.

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

i'd stay away from it for now, not a delay thing, but a hotfix/security update or something for windows that installed at night, killed it.. As an alternative look for a vga or hdmi extension cable (depending on what your system puter has)
