I have a AG-HMC40PJ camera, every time I do recordings over 30 minutes it breaks them into segments. Is there a setting to record longer?

I do a lot of recording that is longer than 30 minutes on my Pan-AG-HMC40P using a 32GB memory card. It also breaks the data according to size of data. Don't know if there is a setting to extend the data size or time of recording.

Dear anna, I am glad to receive your asking. If your memory card capacity is large enough and set the looping mode to "off". The GS2000 can record over 6 hours. Hope you would like it. If you have any question please feel free to contact us. Regards Leif

I have been unable to set the unit to automatically overwrite old data when the card is full. The camera will either let me record in a (3/5/10) minute loop, or record continuously until the card is full at which point it stops 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.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

Hi, If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out. If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

Hi. You can record as much and as long as you want depending on the size of your SD Card. There is a 30 minute limit to any one recording however, then you can begin recording again.

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

I rarely record for longer than 15 minutes.....but I can fit well over an hour of HD footage no problem. I would buy a new battery when you buy the camera. I have had great success with the new battery and use the camera regularly without issues. The battery I bought was $3 and well worth it.

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.

It does record in "blocks", or files about 1 - 5 minutes long (selectable). If you are editing these together with MovieMaker or some other software, they are supposed to edit seamlessly together. If you select the option, when the SD card fills up it is supposed to delete the oldest file as the new one starts to record. I have a 32Gb in mine and the cars these are in have not been driven enough to fill the card. I have it set to the highest resolution. It seems like you should get about 2 hours on a 32GB card. Hope this helps.

There are multiple variables that you have to take into account. Are you using 16 cameras or less. Obviously with fewer cameras there is less video being recored. Next are you recording in the highest video clarity... 960 vs. 480. What size hdd do you have installed and do you also use an external? Finally I am not sure if you can only record 16 hours and then just record motion only for the other 8 or not. Unfortunately your question can't be answered easily with out more information. I would look at worse case when you do it though to figure out if its going to last long enough for you.

You MUST have an SD memory card installed, not bigger than 32 Geg. Press "Menu", then either "Vol" button until you see "Video Player", press and hold Both Vol up and Vol Down, 3 seconds. Should get a second menu, scroll to "DV" press "OK". you will see what the camera is looking at for 10 sec., then it goes into record (blue dot in upper right corner). Hope that helps. Jack

I have run my pen down twice, and it has recorded 88 minutes of video both times, and it automatically broke the recording into about 4 clips, for a total size of 3.92GB each time :)

No real need to do that. If you set the timer to 10 mins. it will just record in successive 10 min increments until the SD card is full at which time it will be to erase segments, oldest first and re record over them.

The camera keeps recording five minutes intervals and when is full it automatically starts deleting the oldest ones and replacing them with new ones. So it's infinite loop. My camera is use in truck and is running weekly five days nonstop without any problem.

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.
