How long will it record on various SD cards 32, 64GB? And how long does the battery last recording just to the card - not streaming? thanks

Battery lasts about an hour and that's it. Large cards can hold more, but battery is limiting factor.

with a 32 GB card I can record a full football game with the unit shut off for halftime. If I use the Wi-Fi, I get a half a game. The battery ran out faster when I use the Wi-Fi system. A lot will depend on your usage and what you are using the system for. Games last about 2 to 2 and a half hours.

When I recorded to the 64GB card, I have gone 1.5/2 hours and it still shows over half a battery left.

I have used device in rough water Jet pak events and find the HQS quite incredible and superior quality/control over Hero 2. battery life 3 hours. 32 GB card can support duration but 64GB is better.

It can record all the time just needs to be plugged in ! Needs a larger amount of memory! 64gb is the best

You can record up to 8 hours with a 32 GB card. If you download it to your computer you do not have to erase it. When you record up to 32 GB it will randomly delete files from the first 5 per cent recorded.

yes, it do 24/7 video recording and also can do alarm recording triggered via the camera's detector, then you don't need to store useless recordings . The 64Gb microSD card usually can last 15-30 days if alarm recording configured and lower pixel stream . The camera will automatically overwrite the oldest recording files when the sd card is full.

The amount of data that is recorded varies tremendously. Variables affecting the total amount that can be recorded on a 32GB SDXC card are; recording resolution, frames per second, sound or no sound, GPS or no GPS. I record about 9 hours, 15 minutes at 900 HD resolution, 30 fps, with sound and GPS. The largest clip I've recorded is 173MB. At that rate, I can record 185 clips at 3 minutes per clip. After 9 hours 15 minutes of recording, the camera overwrites the oldest clip, in order. Hope this answers your question and helps.

It records in a continuous loop that is broken down into about one minute segments a 32 gb card will run about 8 hours I keep mine connected to a power source whenever it on so I have no idea how long the battery last also I run mine on a PC I know nothing about a Mac one last comment my camera in daylight records a excellent clear sharp picture in low light does good but if it's driving at night with only headlights the quality is not very good short answer I would buy another if needed

I have never filled a SD card but roughly you get about 20 minutes/GB at 720p. At that rate you should be able to get 10 hours on a 32gb card. Much less if you record at 1080.

It will record as much video as the memory card can hold... I think it can use a 16gb max. But I've never tried to leave it plugged in

Alex, Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

Regardless of the size sd card u get u can't record any longer than 3 hours due to the battery only last that long

I haven't recorded any longer than about 3.5 hours at a time, but that length was no problem for the battery. You'll want to put your phone in airplane mode though and turn off wifi, blue tooth, etc. so that iXY gets full resources and optimum battery usage. It sucks when the recording stops because the system was interrupted by something, and there's no indication from the app, it just cuts off in that case as if you had hit stop.

I haven't timed the duration of the recording, but after an estimated 2 hours ether the battery died or my card was full. I believe I was using a 2, 4 or 8 GB card. I believe it will record continuous if left plugged in.

I personally only use it to record for about 4 hours a day so I believe you can get about 12 hours of video on a 32 gb card and then it will record over automatically...You don't have to erase anything..

I bought myself a16GB sdcard and did not have any problem recording Birthday party for 30 minutes(may be more). You can buiy a 32GB if you need more space. It is pretty good in my experience. You can watch the screen symbol (the one you get as soon as you turn on REC button) every now and then to make sure it is recording. HT helps.
