Recording time: How long can this camera record?

Yes, I can put my 16 gig card and new battery and its good for about 2 hours and a coin toss to see what dies first. Good thing is both are cheap (memory and extra battery)

Yes you can record with the camera plugged in.The manual says the maximum recordable time for a single scene is 12 hours. If the scene exceeds 12 hours there will be a few second pause and then recording will automatically resume.

The instructions with the device says the 4GB memory card that comes with it will record about 25 minutes, but mine is only recording about 10 minutes. However, you can buy a 32GB card that should give you 80 minutes.

There are two different size batteries, the larger of the two will give you about 4 to 5 hours of recording time using the viewfinder, less with the window monitor open.

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.

I ran a test and timed it for almost 2 hours before depleting the battery charge. Using a 16GB Micro SD memory card it recorded about 10GB of VGA mode video during the test. If you use the original SD card that comes with the camera you will use up all the storage space before the battery runs down.

Depending on recording settings, the SD chips, and using the built-in memory, the camera can record up to 24 hours.

There is no setting for length of recording. Most of my recordings are between 15-30 seconds, but some have been longer. I don't feel that I "miss" any action in my recordings. My guess is that due to the "free" nature of the hosting service, it wouldn't record for an hour, etc.

The camera recording rate is 2GB = 30 minutes. Therefore 16GB = 4 hours. This should be obtainable using Energizer lithium AAA's. Switching the camera off then back on will not shorten the battery life compared to letting the camera split the video itself.

Well the longest I have recorded without stopping is 5 minutes, but I'm not sure of the time. Check there main website for specs. I love this camera and its worth buying. Make sure you get an external battery.

This is color camera, and if you use 32 GB, it will last at least 72 hours. Enjoy :)

This camera will easily record up to it's limit of 30 minutes for a single clip on a full battery. This is an arbitrary limit for digital cameras to avoid being taxed extra as a video recording device.

On a fully charged battery you can record a movie for 1 hr. 20 minutes, but with a battery pack or some other means of continuous power you can record high quality at 1 hr. 4 min. and up to a maximum of 3 hr. 14 min. (but at a lower quality) as mentioned in the owners manual page 266.

With fully charged inbuilt battery you can record 20 - 30 mins of video. Its work on USB power. For a longer recording you need USB power on.

Hi, If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out. If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)
