why does it suddenly stop recording?

I have mine set as continuous loop, but when night driving the camera doesn't notice anything on dark highways, then stops recording only to start again when lights brighten the lens. I guess it thinks the vehicle isn't moving. I don't know. Just my observation, in which I don't care for. I would rather have the thing recording on the loop until I turn it off. So far I have not found that button.

I had that issue too I was seeing the images being recorded on cam but once I took the memory card out it was blank

Try a different brand of SD card. Is gaps of time not recorded on the SD card or does the screen turn off while driving?

I actually do not know. Mine records all the time when power applied. I have it set to record for 3 minutes and then start over for another 3 minute clip. Check your settings and the micro chip you installed. Is it still powered up when it stops recording? You could also have a malfunctioning unit.

Unless yours is somehow defective, mine only stops when it is supposed to. I.E., when I turn off my engine.

I have no idea; just checked mine and it appears to be AOK. However, I did notice that it was full and it was deleting earlier files like it should, but it left several files from early January, while there were none from Feb, Mar, and none from the first 15 days of Apr. I know this is not your issue, but I just thought I'd mention it. Good luck.

I was messing with settings and had the same thing happened to me with it stopping and not recording constantly. I just reset it to default and after restart I picked English again. The default settings work best for me. I have used class 4 and class 10 microSDHC successfully with camera. If your computer doesn't read the videos on the memory card just plug camera into tv and or monitor with hdmi to verify that it is being recorded. I view and import videos with adapter card inserted into front of computer and realplayer program.

I'm using a 32gb microsd (tf) card, to be honest it is very hard to tell because it's a blackbox. When it "fills up" it continuously records, overwriting the earlier videos, so I just have it recording for the last few months without any issues.

I do not know, but one would think it would stop recording. Nothing in the book so it is just something to test. I use a 32gb card, gets about 90% filled in a month. If there is no event to look back at, I just delete and start over again.

I don't know. I am having a problem with it recording. I was thinking it may not be looping. If you find the answer to your question, please let me know. Thank you, Ron

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

it says "card full" and stops recording. i regularly clear the card and save anything i want to keep.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".

I've had the same problem with my ultra plus since day one. It was a gift and I didn't pursue taking it back to the original retailer. I've discovered that by holding the pause/record button in for a second or two it works better, but even this doesn't work every time. At times I have to turn the camera off while recording in order to stop recording. Really aggravating. Wish I could be of more help but it appears to be a widespread problem with this video camera. Otherwise I'd recommend this neat little camera to anybody. Since it seems to be a widespread problem I'd suggest folks buy a different camera. Should you discover a solution to this problem I do hope you'll post. I've had the same problem with my ultra plus since day one.

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

The Pen camera stops recording every thirty minutes and the starts and stops every thirty minutes on its own. At least that is how I observed. After 2 hours I had 4 separate files.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

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

Perhaps the cassette has been disabled from recording. This prevent re-recording over material that is to be saved.

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

I havent used it a lot to record but i think it records individually. I will check it put and will update this answer if needed.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.
