It records in avi. format- you can get almost and 90 minutes but it does break it up into roughly60min segments- Iv have had mine several years and have used in wet conditions-rough conditions and it has worked fine- picture quality depends on the lighting -sometimes on playback there can be odd sound /picture sync but that seems to depend on the program you run it through-you can velcro it on to almost anything. Sound quality is so-so.

The battery on mine lasts around 90-110 minutes using the HD video. Make sure you get a bigger sd card if you plan on using HD video. I have mine mounted on my bicycle handle. I wouldn't recommend operating it while riding, there's a delay in the power on and off. It does have audio cues but probably not loud enough to hear riding. If you don't mind turning on and off while stopped it's a great camera for the price just has a few little quirks. When you first turn it on and start recording wait a minute then look at the light to make sure it's still recording - sometimes when it first starts it only records for a few seconds then shuts off.

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

Bernadine,This camera will last for approximately 4 hours of continuous recording. In "voice activation" mode, it can sit in standby for up to 20 days, during which it could record for up to 4 total hours whenever it detects audio. So for example if it recorded 30 minutes per day, it would last about 8 days. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Is this camera worth the bucks? Does it really do what it says that it does?

The batteries will last more than long enough for you. But what I do is plug it into the wall, and I can record all day. This camera includes a decently long plug. On the lowest video quality and excellent sound quality, the image is still sharp, and a single 16G card will hold over 5 hours of sessions. I record, go home, and unload the videos onto a secured external hard drive. Playback directly from the device to HDMI is also a great feature for reviewing sessions. The stand included is perfectly fine but very small. To get the best wide angle I use a taller stand. Best insurance investment ever. The batteries will last more than long enough for you.

I have not had that problem, but I don't record for long periods of time (the videos get too boring for continuous recordings). I used it mostly outside and on my motorcycle. One of my trips was in Texas in July, 100+ everyday and no issues. I would only record for short periods of time, 5 to 10 minutes here and there when the scenery or roads were picture/video worthy. It takes great video and pictures, I'm very happy with the camera. It's even been through rain with no issues.

Thank you for the tip.I like the camera very much, great zoom, it also has facial recognition.If you get it, one little note, make sure the rec, is on when your recording.I believe I hit it too quick when I put the camera on, and it did not register.Yes I did not record a whole chunk that I thought I did.Wish you the best with your camera stuff.

so, far recordings have been as long as needed. Longest recorded with this camera has been just over two hours. Hope this helps.

It lasts a very long time! I fully charged overnight before first using it, and it kept a charge for well over 1 month. Used it 5-10 times for about 35minutes total recording time, before I recharged it.

What options does this camera have in regard to recording time (1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute clips or other?)

The camera only works in the direction it is pointed, toward the road. It pivots, so you could turn it any direction.The recording is good for about 8 hours before it starts over. The memory is saved in 10 minute increments. So if I notice the actual time of an incident, it is easy to look up later. I have used it over a year and love it

It records continuously. You can set it to record in 2 min, 3 min , 5 min loops. For example, if you set it to the 3 min loop, after the third minute it will start all over again and record a new loop. I recommend getting a 32 mb sd card so that you can store a lot of footage in case you need it. After you exceed the space on the sd card, it will delete the older files. This device is great but it has terrible instructions. You have to play with the settings on your own to figure everything out.

I believe around 72 hours, mine is only put 8gb and it record up to 18 hours but there is a option for loop recording so mine is whenever the video file over 18 hours, it will delete itself and keep recording the new one, hope my answer will help you :)

Alex, Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

This is color camera, and if you use 32 GB, it will last at least 72 hours. Enjoy :)
