Yes you can power it while it's recording, no you can't charge it while it's recording. The manual clearly states this.

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Yes you can record with the camera plugged in. The manual says the maximum recordable time for a single scene is 12 hours. If the scene exceeds 12 hours there will be a few second pause and then recording will automatically resume.

Yes, take the batteries out and plug in the USB cable. Turn the camera on. The computer will power the camera :-)

yes you can run it with power supply (but not from PC via usb! auto detection will privent charging! With power bank no problem) Remember that you have 4Gb max size video file limit, device will stop recording on reaching this limit, and you'll need to start new recording manually. With mid. resolution you have around 1,5 hours from one battery. If you are student, buy some more extra batteries (not original) they will cover your needs.

The power sources is built in and it's rechargeable through USB on your computer. It can record but not very well.

No! And that's a huge problem for me because I use it as an emergency back-up and it was dead the other when I needed it:-( I do like it though. It records clearly. You just have to remember to charge it!

Not from the camera, you would need to use a separate timer controlling the power 120Volts external to the camera programed to turn on and off.

Yes, it turns on and starts recording as soon as it gets power (from USB or cigarette lighter outlet).

I use mine as a car dash cam so it is always plugged in a charging whenever the engine comes on. This camera has a car mode and will start and stop recording when it senses power.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.
