Can it be set to record and then continue recording without holding it (leave it recording unattended)?

It will record continuously until it runs out of battery or memory - which ever comes first. If you plug in the usb power charger, you can eliminate the battery limit. I have recorded as much as two hours without attending to the camera during that time.

No the machine cannot record if it is turned off..but you can lower the volume enough so it can't be heard..hope this helps...

Yes. Just make sure that the loop recording setting is set to 3 mins and not to off.

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

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.

It's a dvr it's not suppose to turn off, it needs to be recording at all times

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.

NO. It has a switch near the cap, you turn it on and off as needed OR you can turn it on and leave it on for up to 3 days of continuous recording.

There is a record function button on the unit so I'm sure you can. However, I've had no occasion to try it.

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

Yes, you can. If you are using the camera for video, it has a 15 minute limit. After that ,it shuts off, unless you reset it.

No, you have to select the message while the recorder is not playing back or recording.

Yes, you can. However, it is limited to record on and off.You cannot zoom in or out.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.

No. I wish it could. I also wish I could stop ans start recording for chosen tracks only.

P.S. I forgot, I think it will allow pausing while recording.... but have not tried it myself.

Tom, honestly I don't remember, but it will keep recording. What I love about the camera is that I can set it to record certain times or I can set it to when there's motion sensed to record. It let's you set motion zones from where you want motion to set off the camera. This is convenient because if you have pets you can set the motion zone higher off the ground to where your cats, dogs, etc won't set it off. The best part is that it records audio very well too. The only thing is because it is connected to the internet there is a 3 second delay, but to me that's not much of a con with all the other pros. I hope this helps.
