Hi, Does sound recording work and remote controller work perfect ? Does it work only on battery or also work on AC power with adapter ? What is battery requirement and how long does it last ? Will appreciate your reply.

Yes sound recording does work and the remote device works great. It does work with the power cord and both the camera and remote are rechargeable. The remote has battery factory installed so you don't need to remove the battery. Just plug the adapter into it and charge it for about 8 hrs. The same goes for the camera but you can remove the battery . The camera battery resembles a cellphone battery. Make sure you charge the camera's battery for about 8 hrs the first time. I have set my camera up on motion detect and let it go for about 12 hrs and it still could have ran for a few more . Make sure you read the instructions very well so you don't have any difficulties. Have fun ! I bought about 6 of these cameras and love using them.

Its best with electricity. The controller hardly works when on batteries alone-manual says so. Personally I don't like the design of the unit-many problems-the station LCD readout is veryfaint, and can be seen only close-up I have to walk up to it when I program it. so manually you have to be close to see it. I also have to set it to mono to avoid background noise in my weakish signal area-although other radios have no problems. ETC. I think it is an old model, not supported by Panasonic. however Boomboxes are out of favor, and the choice is minimal.

It needs to remain plugged in to your car power source. It will keep recording and will record over the already recorded data after so many hours. Just a quick note........I made comments after the one I got and said how good it was, I got another one for my second car and it only worked for a few days then quit, it had to be returned

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

Comparing with conventional camcorder, this recorder does capture amazing sound quality but very poorly with video. There's not much zooming and stabilization. It's okay when used on a stand and tape in close range (not more than 3 rows from the stage). On battery, not sure if it can work for 1.5 hours. You can connect with AC during the taping though (will need a long extension power cord). I plugged mine to a TV with HDMI and it works relatively easy (again great sound but hold your breath on the image). Files containing the recording will be huge, guess you can save it on larger SD card.

Yes -- it can work either from the battery or while AC is connected to charge the battery. There is a storage switch under the remote that you turn off if you're going to store the unit for a while.

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

It doesn't utilize a battery, it uses power from your camera. You do control whether your mic is on or off (if it's off, you'll record from the camera mic), and the direction the sound capturing takes.

Hi Jame's Dad, Thank you for your inquiries! Recording Sound, or Not On the Dash Cam menu, you do have the option to have the microphone on or off. Just press the "Menu" button. Use the arrow buttons to move the selection up or down until to find "Audio Record". Press the "OK" button on the top of the camera to select "Audio Record". Use the arrows again to select on or off. and press the "OK" button. when done, press "Menu" to get back to the main screen. There is a Microphone image that will appear when sound recording is on. It will disappear when sound recording is off. Sound & Volume The best sound from the videos you record will be heard in playback mode on your computer where external settings can be altered. When playing the video back on the cam itself, there is a limited amount of volume the unit will be able to play back, but it should be relatively comparable to the unit you have received. Loop Recording with this model Dash Cam A 32GB SD card will record up to 6 hours of continuous footage (depending upon use). It saves the files in 2 minutes intervals, continually dropping the oldest footage. The camera also has a g-sensor and a panic button -- when pressed/activated the camera will lock the current video for one minute before and after -- these videos can only be deleted by formatting the SD card. Upon playback on your computer you can save the videos in 2 minute increments or as one full video (up to 2GB each). "Auto-Off" If turned on and plugged in while the car is off, the cam could pull from the car's battery. This depends on your car. Some cars will shut off power to these outlets while others will not. The camera normally will shut off automatically when the car is turned off. I hope that information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

Yes and No. No, you do not need batteries and you are right...all you need is a wall outlet for the recorder to work. Just plug the AC Adapter and you can record to your heart's content. However, if you want to record outdoors or if you do not have access to a wall outlet, then batteries are a must!

You probably understand the directions perfectly:1. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; needs full battery charge with every use.2. Is good for 2-3 hour capture window, then powers off.3. Useless unless desired capture action happens within 2 hours after setting.4. Best to return the junk.5. Comes in a great quality box with magnetic clasp flap, too bad it is junk inside.

You will need 2 aa batteries. The higher quality recording you do will decrease battery life. You can transfer recordings via a USB cord. Hope this helps. Great recorder.

The unit works with the original for audio only no video so that was fine for me. Nice litte unit remote works after you replace the battery you always have a charged unit and can leave your cable and charger packed away

You want a voice activated record mode which is common on the more advanced devices. I have owned several other types but this kind is mostly for dictation and meetings. The long wait time will run the batteries down and the quality of the recording may not be as you expected, so I do not recommend this unit for a standby type of usage.

Keith is right, the old remote should work just fine (assuming that it has worked to control your vehicle entertainment system). The remote control is paired with your vehicle entertainment system (perhaps even just the DVD player), and has no relationship to your IR audio headsets. Even though the remote control can play and pause and stop the DVD player, the DVD player will continuously broadcast the infrared audio stream associated with whatever video is being sent to that audio player at any given moment. This infrared audio stream can be picked up by any infrared headsets within its field of view.
