Does this record peaks with a time/date stamp that can somehow be downloaded or recorded? I need proof of a neighbors noise for civil lawsuit.

There is no way this "meter" will stand up to any serious scurtiny in an open court.My advice is that you call the local police about excessiive noise and hopefully they will arrive with a certified sound level (pressure) meter.

Basic sound meters don't have these capabilities but you can find smartphone apps that do. Here's an example: http://www.instructables.com/id/Measure-and-map-noise-pollution-with-your-mobile-p/ It still might not stand up very well in court, unless you can get the metering part calibrated. Actually most cheapo dedicated sound meters can be calibrated (adjusted) so the readout matches the decibel level a calibration device emits and a single frequency. An (expensive) professional calibration will dig deeper, informing you how accurately the meter performs across a range of frequencies and volume levels. A cheapo dedicated meter might fall down there, or it might hold up pretty well. Basic sound meters don't have these capabilities but you can find smartphone apps that do.

I am going through something similar. I have a neighbor who is making my life a hell on earth.If I get this, what I plan on doing is shooting video of the noise meter and decibel levels while the noise is going on.I think that should be good enough to show a judge.Good luck with your problem, I can totally relate.

Hi, this is a really cheap sound meter, it won't help you for an official meausre, also There 's no way to store data from this device.

Only records for around a minute when there is movement in the movement zone. You can monitor for about 10 minutes continuously then it times out and you have to start over.

I have been using it for months now and it records per minutes totaling to 60 minutes. Not continuous. You may need more memory.

The files are named by date. If you didn't set the date just look at what date it has now and trace back to which ever day and time you think you did your recording you are looking for. Hope that helps.

Howdy I attend a regularly meeting once a month. I record about hour to hour and half with no problems or shut offs. The sound is pretty good on the replay on computer. I have only used it twice since I bought it. I hopes this helps

To the best of my knowledge it can show the time/date info on the recording

Use Notepad to create a file named TAG.TXT. On the first line, in the first space type today's date, enter 1 space and enter the current time in this format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Save to the root folder of the device. In Computer the device will be Removable Disk (F:), or whatever your system calls it. Unplug the device from the computer and the next time you record video, it should have the correct time on it. It works for me. Also I find it records very sharp video in sufficient light. Problem is, on continuous record, I never get more than 5 or 6 minutes. If it's in sound detection mode, you might get only you setting it up, then nothing unless noise occurs very close to it and very, very loud! It's ineffective for surveillance.

Not that I know about. It plays through a computer's sound card. I'm surprised at the sound quality this little gadgets has. You have to treat the recorded material as a file so the content can be erased.

I don't think so. It records just like the sound on the tv programIhope this helps. It has been so long since I have recorded anything.

Yes, this does have the "record what you hear" feature. I would also suggest you look at the products at www.DAK.com. There products are the most reasonable and work great. There support is also unbeatable.

There is no recording on this instrument however, you can look at the numbers on the screen and recorded by hand but is a very good decibel reader get a baseline when it's quiet and then with a dog barking it will show you the difference of the two

Not totally sure. I know my kids have recorded a long message, but as far as recording a whole song - I'm assuming not. Sorry I'm not much help.

Not at the moment. You can see the name of curent show. The manufacturer continues to update the firmware, and keeps adding features. The latest firmware allows you to download the recordings. If many people ask, they might add the feature.

Yes. Download it as an mp3. Send it to the Cloud have your Transcriptionist have a Cloud account also and she can pull it from there.

The file format of the recorded material is probably incorrect. Double check what the file extension is on your digital file and see if you can convert it to a compatible file type.

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

The speaker isn't loud or very good quality.. But it does let you verify you are recording something.. :)
