Can it record while charging?

If the battery is completely empty, it may need a few minutes to get enough of a charge to start recording. It does, however, record normally when hooked up for charging.

I believe it can, same as being connected and not running on battery backup.

Yes you can. ecsactly you should charge all time while recording, If you disconect charger the battery lasts maximum 3-5 hours

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

Yes, it can. A simple push of a button toggles the audio record option on and off.

No. The recorder has an on-off switch on one side. Once you turn it on, it will continue to record until it runs out of space, charge or you turn it off. It records in 4 hour chunks, so if you leave it running for 8 hours, for instance, you will get two 4 hour files.

the camera will record while charging. I've used it to make a timelapse for several hours, recording (well taking pictures every 5 seconds) with the adapter plugged in, as the camera only has an autonomy of about two hours. The battery is internal and cannot be removed or replaced.

Yes, the receiver shows video while charging. Works pretty well so far. Good luck...

I believe I've recorded with the ION Air Pro 2 while it was in charging mode, but I'm not sure; however, ION tech support plainly said; "YES, you can record videos while the charging cable is hooked up to the camera >> it will not charge the camera while in action, but it keeps the battery from discharging -- the camera will then record for hours...

No. The device has an off/on switch. You charge the internal battery by USB (into computer) then it is ready to record anywhere. To play, plug back into the computer, open the device just like any thumb drive/memory stick and play what has been recorded. Really very simple. Works great!

Haven't tried that yet, but manual says it can. However, itwon't charge the battery while being on and active.

Doubtful. While theoretically, you can record as much video as your usb thumb drive or your iPhone/ipad can hold, flight time before charging is needed is only about 20-25 minutes.

Yes, but if you're planning to use it as a dash-cam, you have to physically turn it on every time you start your car. it can be charged by any standard 5v usb port. It can film while charging.

As far as I know this device cannot be used while charging. There are a few out there that will with the right drivers that make them function as a webcam. But, usually they will advertise it as one of it's features. It charges through USB, it takes about 2 - 3 hours for a full charge and gives you approx 45min - hour of continuous use.

Unfortunately no but you can charge it using the usb cable thats lodged in the strap. This works well but you can't charge while you're recording it simply will not allow you to. I bought a wasabi charger on amazon and it work fine.

It will record while charging, and I am fairly certain it will not stream over the Internet if you are using a PC for charging. Currently it can't be used as a webcam. Looxcie's website is an excellent resource for any questions you may have.

I have not tried that but I do not believe it is designed for that. Also does not charge the iPhone when it is on the dock but it does not use a whole lot of battery when recording.

No, it can't. I tried, it keeps charging itself, but won't output anything while charging.
