Can?does this record when the vehicle is not in motion?

There is an option in the setup menu for Motion Detection (on/off). I leave mine off so it always records when power is on. I haven't tried the "on" setting. Note that I have 2 of these devices. I liked the first so much I bought a 2nd one for my wife's car. The 2nd one was defective and I had to return it to the vendor. Their support was horrible and their shipping time was over 7 days. The problem was resolved, but communication with the vendor was unbelievably bad.

the motion detect is basically there to help with space on your memory card/internal. if it is set to on and you pull up to a light/get stuck in traffic, it will stop recording after a short time of no movement. one you start moving again, it will begin recording again. it will not record when the vehicle is turned off and the camera is off and there is movement. this camera doesn't have the parking features that other cameras have.

If you have the GPS module plugged in, it records speed. can be incriminating, so i opt'd to not get the GPS module as i have in-dash gps with all that stuff

The system support below record mode: Continuous / Time Schedule / Motion Detection, it can be set from the DVR, thanks.

Unless you want to set a time to record, it will use motion detection to record. It is very sensitive. Mine picks up cats and sometimes wind blowing tree limbs.

It will if you want it to. But if your concerned about accidental recording then no. There is a hold button that doesn't allow it to turn on unless the switch is moved, and then of course you will have to hit the record button which is sunken in.

It has voice record on/off where you can turn off the voices when recording, collision detection so in the event of an accident there will be a chime and the words collision detected or high g forces detected will pop up on the screen, motion detection; so if you set this if you hit the car it will automatically record. The recording time is either 3 minute clip or 5 minutes. You can also set it to record automatically when you turn it on.

It detects sudden movements (for example a collision). The camera would lock the video file it's recording in the event of an accident so that it wouldn't be over-written

The only motion I am aware of is when it senses a crash by rapid deceleration and the camera is surposed to stop recording.But not having been in a crash I cannot verify this fact

Mine did not . It was defective. Went out like the second week. You have to turn it on to record . Once on, it would record when in motion. Stop if not. There are better versions out there. The instructions are in Chinese. Keep shopping and go to youtube . There are videos on most car cameras.

It has a motion sensor that activate recording as soon the vehicle starts running. I don't use it, because it causes the camera to stop recording while in a red light.

Yes, it can record when there is motion. The preferable way to do this is through third party software. Blue Iris for PCs and Evocam for Macs are video security programs designed to do this and more. They provide a better interface to your camera(s) than using the onboard software and a web browser. They will write the video where ever you wish including dropbox.

I believe the recording remains as long as it's not recorded-over on purpose, and the circuitry is in a functional state (i.e not broken or suffering from some sort of failure). As I recall, even removing the battery doesn't wipe out the recording.

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.

Mine always records and stops recording when my vehicle is bumped. Haven't had any issues with the battery being drained whatsoever. This camera only records the front view-not inside the vehicle. You don't have to delete videos at all- continually records until it is stopped and saves it so it doesn't record over what was saved. Don't listen to that Vagan deusche- he probably forgot to turn it on and it's not meant for bicycles....... The camera mirror has a 2 hour back up recording capability just in case your car battery dies.

Yes. You can set to motion detect but it is fairly sensitive. Leaves blowing trip it. It trips with a 3sec or so delay. Records for 30 seconds, then off if no more motion. Also has sound and good night vision. Not bad for the price. Recommend large SD card to store data.
