Step by step how do i change the Video Clip size? I had it plugged in to the power all day. After i pulled the 16GB SD HC Card I had many files with only 17 to 59 seconds of video. I would like it to Record from the moment i get in the truck to the...

It seems that you did not disable the motion detector function. I have 2 of these K6000 style cameras that came from different sellers and manufacturers. They are both great cameras. I have them set for 3 or 5 minute files and there is no gap between files because the files record 2 seconds longer. It could be that a new file starts recording 2 seconds before the current file ends. Just a guess but I merged files together and the music did not miss a note and the clock did not miss a second, however you may hear a slight "blip" in the sound at the splice. If your 12vdc power outlet is controlled by the ignition switch you can leave the camera plugged in and the camera will start recording automatically as soon as it gets power. When the power is disconnected the current file will be saved by the internal battery before the camera shuts down.

I have to use continuous mode because several cameras are switched through. With a 32 Gig card (The largest it will handle) about 24 hours. That also depends on what you are recording, all my cameras are outside so there is always changing images. If you were recording in your home for instance where the walls, floor, furniture etc. don't change you'll probably get better time due to the way video compression works.

I have a 16GB microSD card in the camera and the max allotted time it allows me to shoot videos is 20 minutes. I've noticed that I can shoot 2 to 3 times for 20 minutes videos. I also have a 2GB microSD card that was originally for a cell phone and when I put it in, it allowed me to shoot 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure the bigger the SD card you have you will be able to shoot a lot more.

Maybe 5-7 seconds(never timed it) from powering up to recording.Almost seamless looping into the next video file. After checking the owners manual. It states that its capable of using cards between 512mb and 32gig. Hope this helps..

Hey Katrina: I wish that I could answer that for you but I can't, because I use a 16g sd card and I'm constantly reviewing and deleting recorded footage so I really don't know. I'm sorry :-(

I've recorded video until the card filled up. Deleted it and did it again for several other events. Never had a problem. Works great!

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps!Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

If you recorded on this pen with a full charge until it died, you would have just under 4GB of recorded material. I would recommend transferring the recordings to a computer and wiping the card out before the next use. There's always the risk of corrupting the videos if you leave it on the card. I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but I thought if you knew some of the details, is might help you decide on the card size. Cheers!

Try with and without the image stabilization to see if that makes a difference. Also try at lower resolution. I just did "Fast 720P" with a clear picture, I also had record when moving so it only never recorded more that 5 min at a time. I have not noticed that problem yet, but I have notice jumps(screen goes blank?). Could be the card. Make sure it is a class 10 card. I just upgraded to 64gig SanDisk Extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

I currently am very impressed with the camera. I have two of them and have had them almost two years. I cannot answer your question specifically regarding the 16 gig card but I can tell you that I use an 8gig card for video only with thirty second clip rates. the longest I have left them without checking them was two months and I had almost two hundred video clips of animals. I have never filled up the card. This is during rut in Wisconsin so I think a 16 gig card would last forever, as long as the camera excepted it which is what I am uncertain of. Good luck, cameras are the best I have ever had, way better than Wildgame or Cuddieback from personal experience. I currently am very impressed with the camera.

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

Yes there is a 30 minute limit on video length and then yes, you have to press record again to do up to 30 minutes more. By then you'll need to swap batteries. Batteries last a maximum of a bit over an hour at 1080p. Aftermarket batteries often last more like 45 minutes.The 30 minute limit exists no matter what quality of video you choose to record in, even the lowest which is 480p.The limit is there because this camera only accepts SD cards that are formatted FAT32, and FAT32 has a max file size limit of 4GB, in which it can get close at the 1080p setting. I think they were lazy to keep the limit on lower qualities and to not support NTFS for that matter.

It does record in "blocks", or files about 1 - 5 minutes long (selectable). If you are editing these together with MovieMaker or some other software, they are supposed to edit seamlessly together. If you select the option, when the SD card fills up it is supposed to delete the oldest file as the new one starts to record. I have a 32Gb in mine and the cars these are in have not been driven enough to fill the card. I have it set to the highest resolution. It seems like you should get about 2 hours on a 32GB card. Hope this helps.

It really, really depends on compression, and there's no point in guessing because it really does vary so wildly!Some cameras used super-compressed data rates, and can hold hours of video in 16 GB!That same SD card used in, for example, an adapter for an XDCam EX camera like the Sony EX3, will hold just under an hour of 1080P video. In my opinion It's always better to have more space if you want to take video so why get 8gb if you can get 16gb.

I am using a 16 gb card and get about 4 hours of video before it starts recording over again. I would imagine a 32 gb card would give you almost 8 hours. I am recording at 1080 30fps. I haven't tried other resolutions but you should expect a bit longer record time even at higher fps.

Almost all SD cards over 4 gb will give you a 9 minute video max I found. That's a camera limitation and not the limitation of your SD card. I found that after the 9 minutes, I restart the video and make another 9 minute video. The only tradeoff is I have to edit the video to make the transition from the first to the second video as smooth as possible.
