Why does it sleep when watching video's or movies

It must be designed that way. Chromebooks must be set to sleep when you have an inactive keyboard for a certain period of time. I have not found a solution in my search.

I am not sure about that one. I have never watched a movie on my Chromebook. Maybe your battery dies out in the middle of watching a movie. Maybe try keeping it plugged in while you watch. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

It puts the kindle to "sleep" when you close the kindle, similar function to some laptops

Nope doesnt go to sleep. It uses little battery when not in use so just stays on. No on off switch. To turn off just take a battery out. The part that you connect to the camera has an on off switch but the remote does not. The whole unit is well built and simple.

My son watches a lot of videos on YouTube and occasionally has issues where it locks up. Unsure if it's an issue with the Wi-Fi or the laptop. He still manages to watch them for hours at a time, so it can't be that big of an issue. :)

I have some issues with it. Sometimes it appears to go into Hibernate mode rather than sleep mode. Probably happens about 30% of the time. I do have a Shieldz screen protector on the unit and believe that may be contributing to the issue.

The drive sits, waiting for action, it's white LED like an oncoming train. It is in a low-power sleep mode when the computer is asleep or off; only the headlight is consuming a tiny amount of power. In a bedroom, you might want to park something opaque in front of it. The drive's performance is first-rate.

Yes except when it goes to sleep it closes and doesn't open again until you open and close side viewer

It's probably going into "sleep mode". Does it come on when you move your mouse around?

It is designed to work with Media Center. And it can act as a pointer (mouse) so it can be used to turn off the computer (as you would with a mouse) but it cannot turn on a off computer. In my case, it can awake a sleep computer, but not a hibernating computer.

Only once did I have that problem. When I left open just a lot of applications then left it to sleep for an extended period of time. I just had to restart my computer and it solved it all. Other than that is pretty quick.

Yes you can turn the video off and still use the sound. Then just hit a button to turn the video back if you need to. Great feature to help keep the room dark while sleeping. You can also control the volume and pan the camera from the video unit.

It would probably go into sleep mode while still recording but you might want to check with the folks at HP.
