Does this record continuous video or does it record into 3-minute files??

Hi, it was never fully functional. We never got it to the point where it could record. The screen went out 2 weeks later.

It does 3 minute files by default, there r settings to change the default file length,There is no gap between files if u play them together with a computer, all your driving will b there :)

Adding to what Chris said, the maximum clip size is 5 minutes. That is what I have mine set to.

Continuous video split into 3 minute videos. This is to reduce file size and make it easier to work with. You can easily splice then together and the transition from one 3 min video to the next is seemless.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

No, it will continue recording new 5 minute chunks until the card is full. When the card fills up it will start overwriting the oldest video. I haven't had to worry about it, I have a 32GB card in mine and the battery only lasts about an hour and 10 minutes, so it never fills the card. Also note that it only records five minute chunks in "vehicle" mode, in normal mode it will record one long video.

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.

It will record continuously, but can also be set to record on motion detection. How long it records depends on available hard drive space and what you're recording. I am recording two DCS-932L cameras at 12-15FPS using high-quality (recently increased from medium) MJPEG 640x480. I have a 1TB external drive and typically get about 8.5 days backlog before it begins to automatically overwrite the oldest recorded video. If you use h.264 encoding it will probably store more video (due to the better compression), and if you record at higher resolutions it will probably not record as much before having to overwrite.

About 45 to 50 minutes. They are not continuous though. I have two of these. One is broken up in 3 minute videos and the other is in 5 minute increments.

It actually records video, you have several options, 1) always record, 2) setup a days/date/start and end time, or 3) when motion is detected. There are other features within the 3 options, but YES it records video.

Is yours only recording a single 3 minute clip/frame/segment or a number of them? Check your settings. I have mine set for 5 minute frames/segments etc. It records continuously for several hours (32GB) but when I down load the card the entire recording is appears in 5 minute segments. Makes it easier to find a spot in the journey. ??????

Yes, you can record a short movie and audio as well. But, it's like 2 minutes.

No. It'll record a few hours worth of stuff. But when the film gets full, it'll start recycling from the beginning of the video. So the most recent recordings you do not lose.

It can record up to a 22-23 min video at a time. If you want to take pictures while recording, you simply hit the shutter button.

Does the recorded video transfer onto the computer in one file? I have a spy camera that breaks the video into 7 minute files. I need something (does not need to be a spy camera) that has a time stamp and keeps the recording in one continuous file. Will this camera do this? If it doesn't any suggestions on another camera to consider?

I'm sure answers will vary , one the memory used and the battery, mine records for approx 2 hours , and it make a file at 59 min , then it will automatically begin a new file . I don't know why it does this but it works fine. it does tend to get a little warm when recording for a long period of time.

No, there is no video record feature. But it plays just about every video file I've ever tried to play on it. I love mine. I use it all the time.

No. What it does is, it records in 30 minute increments. There is no interfearance in the video. It's a very nice camera, you won't regret it. It's my professional opinion.

it has a min. .10 seconds and a max.60 seconds i believe .........i have mine up right now or i would double check..........it might have a max.of only .30 seconds(sorry) but those are the ranges and then there is a delay mode which is kind of "cool" which gives u default .05 seconds or u can set it to .30 seconds max. in between the video that just recorded and the next video.............so it isnt just taking one after the other after the other(breaks the videos up)............
