In DV settings I set 30 minute length. When hidden recording begins, it still says the time will be 5 minutes. Help?

I saw the same thing, I'm sure if you play around with the settings a little bit you will be able to figure it out, otherwise it will have lots of short 5 minute videos

Hi,Thank you for contacting us the only issue we could see is a defective unit or there should be a key for this in your manual

It does not surprise me that you are having problems. Mine was non functional and I returned it.

Mine had an interval of None, 1, or 3 minutes but what mine does if you set it to 3 minutes it would record for 3 then create a new file and record for another 3 and so on. So if you drove for 20 minutes I would have like 5 files all 3 minutes each.

Mine records about 5 to 7 minutes very little time I heard others have less. Kind of sucks.

Hi, No, I just tried it and it won't do it. At least not when I just hit record and then tried to change channels, it wouldn't allow me to. I would assume it would be the same on timer recordings too. Thinking about it, it would have to have a dual tuner for you to be able to do that. One tuned to what's recording, and another tuned to a different channel, and I'm sure it's not a dual tuner setup. You can however watch another program that you already have recorded to the hard drive at the same time as you are recording. Hope this helps...

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. ??????

Hi Bob, you can enter the menu and adjust the recording time in different settings (1-2-3-4-5 minutes) does this help you?

I have tried many different settings. FPS, GPS on/off, what is displayed on the dashboard, sensors on/off, etc. NOTHING has changed the time available! 2:20. I have two cameras each with a backup battery. Thats four total batteries. 2:20 is all I have ever gotten give or take 5-10 minutes.

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.

The recorder only has 13 hours of HD recording space. Resolution can not be changed on recorder to save space. Only issue I had was my time zone would go to Atlantic time zone. I would check it once a month to make sure it was in the Central time zone.

To clarify, I recorded 5 minutes of audio when I first turned on the recorder and left it running for four hours to kind of evaluate the battery strength and recording capacity. If you leave this recorder on for an extended period "trying" to record a conversation when you aren't present to turn off the recorder you will need to listen to the entire recording due to the fact that this is a regular recorder, not a voice activated recorder. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

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.

I actually do not know. Mine records all the time when power applied. I have it set to record for 3 minutes and then start over for another 3 minute clip. Check your settings and the micro chip you installed. Is it still powered up when it stops recording? You could also have a malfunctioning unit.

2to 3 days,then the memory will get full,its best to set it on motion detection record,that way you only record when it detects motion,that way you don't use a lot of memory up for nothing.

Try the Flexible recording method- Should get much more than 4 hours and 18 minutes using this method

You have to hold down the V/S button for more than 3 seconds. That toggles between showing the Time and alternating between Time / Date / Temp. Its not intuitive. And not explained in the instructions. I found this answer on a different website and am posting it here, because its the 4th time I've had to figure it out, and I waste 20 minutes trying to remember how to do it.

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.
