How many hours of continuous video can the camera record?

it depends on the SD card size ,16G /32G/64G, and what video pixle you need , 1280P or 720p or 480p. 1280p pixel video has Max 4Mbps , 16G MicroSD card supports around 10 hours continuous recording. 720p pixel video has around 2Mbps, 16G micro card supports around 20 hours continuous recording 480p has less than 500Kbps , 16G micro sd card suports 80 hours continuous recording . and you can use NAS for recording and storage as well, which supports long time continous 24/7 recording . Or you can use Micro SD card recording and temporary storage, then uploading the storage to FTP server In usual, we recommend customers to use microSD card for alarm triggered recording to avoid flood of useless recordings and NAS for continuous recording and storage .

The continuous video function is in the Firm Ware of the camera and is set at 29.99 minutes. At this time, I am unaware of a Hack that will bypass this pre-set. Dual batteries means twice as much power. The amount of time will depend on how you use the camera.

I believe it's 12 hours, at top quality. More if recording at lower quality.

It is my experience the device can only provide an hour of continuos recording. It is a great covert camera!

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

There is a six hour mode, but you lose quality at that level. I prefer to record at no more than three hours for videos I plan to keep and replay more than once.

The battery should last about 3 hours, That is if you don't keep it on for long periods at a time. I film about 15 min at a time and get right at 3 hours out of it.

It can record up to a 22-23 min video at a time. If you want to take pictures while recording, you simply hit the shutter button.

For continuos recording ( start to finish approximately-3 hours/ randonm pictures and videos, the battery could last up to 6 hours.

max 8 hrs but you have to select the recording speed. the faster the speed the less recording time

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.

I use it for recording for over an hour straight. You can record for 5-6 hrs as long as you have a way to have it plugged in while you are recording.

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 recorded video in excess of 45 minutes... all depends on your memory card and its limitations. I use a 32 gig card with this camera.

Oh, it can be re-used as many times as needed. I originally made this post before I received mine. It can record up to 60 minutes. If you need more than 60 minutes, simply plug it into your usb port and store the video file on your computer and then delete it off of the camera. Video files are in AVI format

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.

According to the manual:The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. Themaximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time ismore than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video fileis created automatically.
