When you start your car, the unit start to record with power, when recording you will see a red spot flashing on the top left side of screen. If it is not flash, you should see error message

If the screen on the left comes on when you first start the vehicle then it's recording. Hopefully you put the MICRO SD card in before you used it. Also get a higher class MicroSD card - I use a class 10. Anything less than a class 8 won't work.

Well, try to reformat the card using the Rearview camera, in order to make it more compatible.Plug the rearview camera into your car cigarette lighter and start your engine.Take a look at the Rearview mirror, you will see an icon displaying that the unit is currently being recorded.If this is not the case, try to obtain a new SD card. In addition, if the problem is with your computer, try to playback your recording directly with the Rearview mirror on-board preloaded software.If you can record, but have difficulty to playback your videos using your computer, try to download "klite codec pack" this will allow you to play any format using your computer.Good luck to you...

The display is very dim, impossible to view in sunshine. So suggest you try at low light level. If recording there should be a flashing red dot at top left of display.You need a fast SD card suggest class 10. If you see a blue screen with card error cycle power and try again.Also you might dig down through menus and format card If card is not responding or try another SD card.Make sure power is connected and that internal battery is charged.Good luck

you can charge and record I've done it with mine. and as for memory it can hold up to 64gb sd card so i think it can record up to like 6 hours unles you add a second micro sd card . also if you have a computer it will record to the computer instead provided the drivers install and it works like a web cam so it could record all night.

A timer is on screen as you take hi speed video. It corresponds directly with your available memory on your SD card.

I don't think it has a recording feature. I've read you can buy software to help it record but I haven't used it that way personally

Nope. The recording is dependont on the computer. The device only supplys the decripted video.

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

The recorded video is saved on SD card as ***.avi format. It can be played with "Windows Media Player" and "Video" application on my Windows 8.1 PC.

you can allocate how much space is available for event, motion detection and normal recording in the settings. I had an 8gb card which got filled completely, I just installed a 32gb a month ago and there is still room available. I will continue to monitor if the camera can use all of it.

If the SD card fills up, it will start to record over what is on the card. About once a month, I just format the SD card while it is in the unit. But it can be formatted (erased) by putting it into your computer also but it's much easier and quicker to do it in the unit.

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

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

It records on your computer or with the SD card. It is motion and sound activated. I use the SD card. It is an excellent buy,

Everyone it tells me that its full i always refirmat card. takes less than 20 second to format and I'm making sure its recorded properly. If i wad u i would firmat it once a week if u get alot of recording. Tried it b4 and it didn't record over anyway. Told me it e was full and i reformatted its simple and if u really need the video then just grab the card and recorded into ur pc, just put the card into the pc, make a folder and copy over. Great camera though. Hoe that helps

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.
