If there is consistent movement lasting longer than 15secs, what will be recorded? Can you set it to record longer if motion continues?

I don't know how it does it but, the camera records video clips perfectly when motion is detected. It records you just enough before and after motion is detected to give you exactly what you need to see. You will have to adjust sensitivity to tweak the camera based upon your installation location, very easy. I absolutely LOVE this product!!!

There is no setting for length of recording. Most of my recordings are between 15-30 seconds, but some have been longer. I don't feel that I "miss" any action in my recordings. My guess is that due to the "free" nature of the hosting service, it wouldn't record for an hour, etc.

It will automatically record for the entire duration of the motion detected.

I am not in a position to answer yet since I had the camera put up in my carport before I found out that it needed to be programmed into my computer before I could get the camera to be functional. I'm just waiting to find out who has been keying my car so I can put some bananas in his exhaust pipe and then call the police.

max 8 hrs but you have to select the recording speed. the faster the speed the less recording time

Yes. I've got mine to record 100% of the time, but also make a log in the system when there is motion. You can also pick which portion of the monitor to record the motion on, so you can block out trees and such so there are fewer false reports.

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

It depends on how you have setup the recording. If it records constantly, with 16 cameras, you may get 10 or 11 days. If its set to record only when motion is detected, you may get 3 or 4 weeks.

Not sure of your question. Set to Continuous for continuous recording. The scheduled recording will follow the schedule you enter and record during those times.

Hello!I do not believe that it is motion activated but what is really cool about it is how long it will continually record on a single charge! Would you believe 4 years? No? That's good because it won't record non-stop for 4 years! But it will (should) record non-stop for some 60 minutes! Hope this is helpful to you!

I never noticed a limit. It just let me record and didn't impose anything like a time limit.

Not sure I have all your answers you are looking for but I will give you my assessment. I have not used it in continuous mode for more than an hour or two at a time. In motion sensing mode, a new file is created for each continuous time motion is detected. I leave mine on motion detection most of the time to avoid long periods on no activity, the motion sensing works well with only one camera. Switching cameras cause it to kick out a new video file each time caused by the seene change. I personally have not filled a card to see if it will overwrite older files but I assume it will to the oldest file first.

If it has a maximum record time, it's fairly long. I recorded 10 seconds of dialogue on it and none of it got cut off.

It seems like it's starts recording as soon as motion is detected. But it's a video recording, not a snapshot. Hope that helps.

Maybe limit the area that motion is detected? This can be done in advanced settings. Best solution is recording to larger server that can handle more storage than SD card. Requires some IT knowledge but expands the record time. I wouldn't decrease the motion sensitivity as this will delay recording. You are able to designate different areas in the camera view to different sensitivity levels also. For this level of camera it is somewhat limited. Let me know if this helps. I've had mine for 2 years. It takes a bit of adjustment

The camera records continuously. When it detects motion, it saves a clip starting about 6 seconds before the event occurs.

I have no idea, there should be on line instructions, each movement triggers a recording, which is stored in the unit and oldest is overwritten when recording new when the memory card is full

30 seconds to a minute I believe. But it will keep recording If the motion continues. Also, the way it files all the videos, each clip, makes it really easy to sift thru

5 minute is the longest. It continues recording automatically. Get a good so card.

To Stephen Clute: So why is it said to be able to record for 30 days?? If it keeps looping every 40 hours, it makes no sense to say it can record 30 days, since all you get will be the last 40 hours' activities. (Won't be suitable for weeks' vacation absent)
