does this automatically start recording

Yes it does - as soon as the call is connected it records - I've had this for several months - works great

I believe that the recorder is set to automatically record all calls. I turned this feature off because I want to select what calls to record. Most states have laws which require one to tell the caller that you are recording the call. The device works very well. The only drawback was that the CD with the software and users manual wasn't in the package. You need to go to the website to download the software and manual. The manufacturer was very responsive when I called.

There is a setting for auto start. I don't use that option, so can't speak to how well it works. I use the manual start/stop option.

No. The device has an off/on switch. You charge the internal battery by USB (into computer) then it is ready to record anywhere. To play, plug back into the computer, open the device just like any thumb drive/memory stick and play what has been recorded. Really very simple. Works great!

When you program it to record a show, it will turn itself on to record the show and then back off when done. If you want to record something that's already started, change to the right channel, and just hit the record button.

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

I just found out it does. Once in the secret setting there is an option to record audio and video at the same time.

I don't know. I am having a problem with it recording. I was thinking it may not be looping. If you find the answer to your question, please let me know. Thank you, Ron

No. The computer has to be running. The computer sets the channel and starts the recording. The recording is stored on the computer's hard drive. It is certainly possible for the computer to wake itself at the required time and start the recording. Setting it up to wake itself may require some work.

Not at all. This is all digital. Just turn it on, and start recording. Best little digital recorder I have ever had.

Yes, it powers on and begins recording when the record button is held down for a few seconds.

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.

It starts recording when power is supplied. Works great if your lighter socket is not powered when the key is off, otherwise you may want to hard wire it to an switched accessory tap on your fuse box.

No you don't need to manually switch it on/ off, when you start your car engine, this video Camera Recorder automaticaly run record by itself.

yes. after you start the recording, you press and hold the record button. this will turn off the screen. But once you turn off the screen, you cannot stop recording until you turn the screen back on. to turn the screen back on, you hold the record button down again

I actually do not know. Mine records all the time when power applied. I have it set to record for 3 minutes and then start over for another 3 minute clip. Check your settings and the micro chip you installed. Is it still powered up when it stops recording? You could also have a malfunctioning unit.

Yes it automatically starts playing once you have inserted the SD card. It's a very easy device to use. Highly recommended.

When the camera is plugged into the Power Adapter, it will automatically start recording when it receives power and stops recording about 5 secs after it stops receiving power. Assuming your power outlet in your car only works when the key is in the ignition.

Not sure of your question. Set to Continuous for continuous recording. The scheduled recording will follow the schedule you enter and record during those times.
