Does this record continually, that is, keeps going until you turn it off, or does it record in "segments"?

HiOur units record continuously but in segments, until SD card is full the loops to record over what was previously recorded. Thank you Darren Brock

it records in ten minute segments but restarts automatically so it does not miss anything that i've noticed.

Audio recording is a part of the video clip recording. But it can be turned off.

It stays on forever, or until you turn it off. Some other products foolishly click or go silent for one second every 3 minutes when they reach the end of their built in digital recording, and then the white noise resumes again. The Marsona does not have this problem. Its noise is continuous.

It will keep recording as long as the remote power is on. On my car the lighter plug is always on so I have to manually unplug it to turn it off. If your car lighter plug turns off when the key is turned off, then the camera will turn off as well. The camera will only record for a couple of minutes or less on it's own power.

Yes, audio recording has its own on/off function. But overall, I don't recommend this device.

Howdy I attend a regularly meeting once a month. I record about hour to hour and half with no problems or shut offs. The sound is pretty good on the replay on computer. I have only used it twice since I bought it. I hopes this helps

Why wouldn't you want it to turn off? I will turn on as needed to record you send show. We have several shows taped at different times. I just turns on when needed to record. I suppose you could just leave your recorder on if you choose.

It records continuously. You can set it to record in 2 min, 3 min , 5 min loops. For example, if you set it to the 3 min loop, after the third minute it will start all over again and record a new loop. I recommend getting a 32 mb sd card so that you can store a lot of footage in case you need it. After you exceed the space on the sd card, it will delete the older files. This device is great but it has terrible instructions. You have to play with the settings on your own to figure everything out.

Yes it has a pause button during playback. During recording, it does not. You would just hit the record button again and it would stop recording.

I'm quite certain it does not turn off after a period of inactivity. If it does, the time period is rather long.

Yes it does. It automatically records over the oldest recordings by default.

When you hit record the first time, it goes into flashing pause mode. Then you hit record again and it records. After that it stays recording until you hit stop. That's not a defective, that just shows you certain settings on the screen before you hit record the second time. Mine has been working great.

When you plug it in, it turns on and starts recording automaticaly. There is a button to pause recording if you want. When you unplug it, it turns off in a little while or you can just press the on/off button to turn it off manually

According to the instruction manual (page 7), it appears that you have to record until the memory is full. Hitting the record button after that point will delete all content and start recording anew.

It's a dvr it's not suppose to turn off, it needs to be recording at all times

I keep mine plugged in and it still records. Try starting the recording and then plugging it in.

It will record video and audio as long as the unit is on. If you turn off your computer that receives the signal, it will obviously not record. You can set it to overwrite old recordings if you fill up the allotted time. There are two settings to view recordings: one for motion detection, the other is straight recording- I do both. I can then fast forward, or slow forward in 6 second intervals.
