it appears to do intervals of 30 minutes, not a single recording has exceeded 30 minutes but some have been less. Anyone have additional input on this

I haven't gone more than 20 minutes with mine, I'll leave it going and see what happens.

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.

Hi,If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out.If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

I know! the recordings are also in short clips of 30 sec or so. I had to purchase an additional recording device, that I never used because is not as discrete.

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards

The Pen camera stops recording every thirty minutes and the starts and stops every thirty minutes on its own. At least that is how I observed. After 2 hours I had 4 separate files.

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

I haven't recorded any longer than about 3.5 hours at a time, but that length was no problem for the battery. You'll want to put your phone in airplane mode though and turn off wifi, blue tooth, etc. so that iXY gets full resources and optimum battery usage. It sucks when the recording stops because the system was interrupted by something, and there's no indication from the app, it just cuts off in that case as if you had hit stop.

I tested this function. It recorded one straight shot for 24 1/2 minutes and then stopped recording. It did not automatically start recording a new file but the camera did stay on. Pressing the record button again starts a new recording file.

According to the documentation, it should record up to 29 minutes or 2 GB. But the only time I tried to record more than 10 minutes was my cousin's wedding, where it froze on me. So whether it's actually capable of recording up to spec, I couldn't say.

I have been recording up to 2 hours per recording on my 500V with out changing the settings. I did not know there was a limit as on my old 550V, I would record all night for up the 9 hours in one file as well.

I would like to know also as sometimes when I record over 1 hour and 17 minutes it will not copy it do a cd; if smaller it will. So I have learned to stop at that point and start new recording if you want to transfer to a cd.

Mine only records when motion triggers it and it records for 30 seconds or as long as there is enough motion to be detected. You can set it to record over old recording if it is at capacity. I have a SD card that I download to my pc if I want to keep it, otherwise I just delete everything after a few days.

It's not in the vinicity of me, but I remember it has such a function. It can do anything a normal recorder can do. Ask others to make sure plz!

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.
