Is there a way to remotely start and stop the ability to take video on the camera?

Only if you have the camera in dedicated video mode (if your camera supports that). My Panasonic FZ200 has that feature on the mode dial. However, the remote does not support the video button that can be activated regardless of the mode dial setting.

Not that I could find. The wired remote only seems to work to trip the shutter.

Well, on my D5300, the trigger doesn't start the video but it will stop it. You still have to push the red button by the on/off switch. Hope this helps.

If you have it attached to a power switch inside the house just turn it off. The unit will revert to giving a warning when turned back on and begin taking photos or clips again.

Yes, press the speaker on the bottom right of your desktop (right click) select recording devices then right click the device and select disable. On the cam there is not mute button that I know of. Hope this helps

I did not use any menus. Try this...Turn the camera offAttach the device using the cableImportant: Extend the antennae on the remote (I've had it not work right beside the camera until I pull out the antennae)Do a test with the piece attached to the camera. Hit the button on the front, if it takes a picture you know its connected OK.Then test from the remote.Hope this helps.

You can either shoot video, set the timer (10sec to snap) or use a remote such as the Satechi.

Yes, you can turn the camera on and off using the BacPac, however, the BacPac must be on for this to work.

You can turn the camera on and off. It takes both video and stills. Do NOT buy this one, it's a piece of crap, it will break easily.The gears are CHEAP PLASTIC, where the shaft goes thru center of gear, the screw that tightens on the shaft will strip on first crash.

The camera is independent from the transmitter and the on/off procedure is awkward and primitive. The camera is activated manually by a tiny button (push once) on the side of the quad.. The button (pushed again) turns the camera off. It's video only. No still photos.

Not from the remote. You probably could if you can set up time-lapse in the camera. This just does a half-shutter(for focus & auto exposure) and then full shutter activation.

Con Sumer, I wish I could be more help, but this camera was a gift to my wife, and she is Chinese, I do know you are limited to 20 min. for video. As far as the remote view finder not sure on that, or we do not have that option. we only can start the recording by pressing the shoot button on the camera itself.

Go and download the msetup and you can make the camera do what you want it to do.http://www.mytempfiles.info/mobius/index.html

The camera has a start/stop button on the right side. This button will toggle on or off the recording process at just about any time. There is a remote that will start/stop/zoom the camera. There is also a smart phone app - (both apple and android) that will do the same function as the remote. You can also buy an accessory to turn the camera into a Wi-Fi hotspot. To get the most from this camera, I suggest you also purchase a copy of a movie editor software such as Adobe Premier Elements 12 so you can edit and combine movie clips (plus photos) on a timeline and create movies plus a soundtrack.

why would you? you can use the camera's delayed shutter timer. besides you would have to be at the remote's cord distance.. it's not wireless.

Yes, you can turn it on/off in the menu.I'd also recommend looking at the TCL SVC-200 which has a similar camera format but runs for 2 hours instead of the 80 mins of the SJ3000. Review here http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/11/10/svc200-is-the-best-100-action-camera-ive-found-so-far.html
