If the power goes out, will record continue when it resumes or do I have to restart it?

To avoid missing recordings due to power outages I suggest using a small UPS

You do need to leave the computer on all of the time. I have my computer password protected and lock the computer, but it must be on. I don't know the answer to the power save mode question. The receiver is plugged into the wall or power strip and the other end is plugged into the computer. The computer is where the footage is recorded and stored. I have two cameras plugged in and they both send a signal to the receiver which forwards the signal to my computer.

I have it set to record over when it runs out. You can copy it off to a computer or DVD and then start over. The more you have it set to record the more data it records. Mine is set to come on at each camera when there is movement on that camera 24/7. You decide how each is to record. You also can have it email you when getting full

If you hold the pause/hold button too long, it powers off. I will not pick up where you left off when recording or playing.

I don't know, quite what you mean...but, as long as its plugged in...its on standby, until you push power button and the tv starts...while in standby, I can still record things on my PVR/DVR..we just pull the plug out/turn off the powerpoint - during bad storms....when its on standby, it uses only a little bit of power...but, ive had the tv on from 6am - 11.30pm on the same channel, watching tv shows and sport..always on, until I press the power button to turn it off...hope this answer helps..

There is battery back-up for a specified number of hours. I use the prerecorded message that came with the device. So far when the power has gone out, all I have to do is reset the time and date.

No. You slide the button to turn it on & it starts recording & records until it's charge runs down or you shut it off.

hey Jeff, It loses all of everything u recorded if batteries die while recording! Recommend you purchase the a.c. power adapter to alleviate this issue.Harley

I just tested the recorder by removing the batteries for 2 minutes and the settings were not reset, so it would take a longer time without power than just changing the batteries for the settings to reset. I misplaced one for over 3 months and although the batteries lost their power and the settings eventually reset, my recordings were intact. Hope this helps.

Yes, it WILL overwrite old data when the SD card becomes full. Additionally, it will resume recording when power is lost and resumes.

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

It continuously records. It will stay powered on if you plug it into an accessory outlet that's powered even when the ignition is off. It loops back over previously recorded video. I keep mine on 24/7 so it records when I'm driving and records when my truck is parked. It also has a motion sensor that can be programmed to record when it's idle.

The instructions don't say you can back up and record over. You can pause and restart. I use it to record groups so it just goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

If I unplug it from the wall socket while the radio is on the batteries immediately take over and it continues to play. It doesn't lose any of its programming so I assume that recording would also continue to work but I haven't actually tested it. I see no reason why it wouldn't since its made to run on AC or DC.

you do not lose the recording, but of course it doesn't record when the batteries quit. That is a problem if you are sitting at a table with the microphone pointed to the speaker, as you do not see the red light go out if you are at the wrong angle to the front

Hi Christa, thank you for your interest in Levana. The camera would go out in a power outage, since the camera has a switch that slides to the on and off position it will turn back on as soon as your power is restored.

No. The recorder has an on-off switch on one side. Once you turn it on, it will continue to record until it runs out of space, charge or you turn it off. It records in 4 hour chunks, so if you leave it running for 8 hours, for instance, you will get two 4 hour files.
