Can I manually turn on/off? How long can I record?

With lights etc away from you there are two buttons the one on the left turns it on and off (you have to hold it down for a while mine works only with the monitor flipped down) the right is sort of an "enter" key, use to set items in menu, with menu off it is like the mode button. In the menu, change motion detection off and the unit will stay on all the time till you turn it off) The battery I got will not charge to the third bar, doesn't last long and I can not find a battery anywhere to replace it.

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software. Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night. Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

Not sure exactly. There is a phone app in general. And I thought there was a feature that you could set it to auto record for 15-30 seconds after motion was detected.

To a point. Not many settings or options, but you can start and stop recording and playback on the phone app

Between 3-5 seconds from the time you hold the start button on till the time you can actually start recording.

Yes, it can be set to stay on or off during recording. You will see a pulsating red light to indicate it is recording.

No. The remote is not the only way to start and stop recording. The remote does not have a way to know whether the camera has been started manually. The remote does have tactile feedback when you press the start-stop button, and the LED flashes once with each press.

Yes, it powers on and begins recording when the record button is held down for a few seconds.

Yes, there is a button on the lower right corner of the camera. It announces when the audio record is off once you push it

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)

There are settings that you can edit. I run mine for 5 minutes max. It's perfect though. I might actually change into a minute because it does loop recording with no gaps and it does not take as long to transfer a file over vs the 5 minute clips. I don't remember off the top of my head but you first must stop any recording. Then you push the little button on the bottom (normally turns the screen on or off while it is recording) and it will pull up the settings menu. Play around in that and you will see how different options and you can change your record options there. I also chose to have my display turn off my itself after 1 minute (its the fastest). I entered my licenses plant number as well. It's a great device with lots of options. Check it out and you get into the settings. :)

There is a record function button on the unit so I'm sure you can. However, I've had no occasion to try it.

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.

Yes, one button allow you to start/stop the recording. About the ten minutes I think It can, depends on the battery.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.

It does record max/min values, but it shuts off after twenty minutes. You can diasble the auto shut off, but I dont know how long the batteries will last.

32GB will record between 36 to 40 hours. I don't believe you can turn off the camera on or off on your phone app. There is also the limitation that you cannot review recorded video on the app. I could not make that option work for me. Other that that, these cameras are pretty good. When you set it up make sure you do not set the sensitivity on high on the alerts, since any motion will set it up. I have it set to low.
