How long does it record after triggered by motion?

you can set these up for recording at pre set times or from motion. On motion you can set 5, 10, 15, and 30 second recording times

30 seconds to a minute I believe. But it will keep recording If the motion continues. Also, the way it files all the videos, each clip, makes it really easy to sift thru

For me it recorded as long as there was motion. However at some point I would expect the chip/card would fill up.

The insert says 7 seconds. But I recorded once. I tried another take that got messed up and then it wouldn't record past that. It doesn't work.

If you are recording only motion. It will depend on the environment you put it in on how long till the SD card fills up. The places I have used it, 8GB didn't even fill up before I'd swap batteries. But if you put it somewhere where there is constant motion you will get completely different results.

5 minute is the longest. It continues recording automatically. Get a good so card.

The longest clip I've recorded was around 20 minutes. I never received any warning about a time limit. I've always figured that it was based on the battery life and storage space in my SD Card, which it does tell you how much time is left given those two factors.

Probably around 3 hours. Don't waste your money if you want longer surveillance

It records for 7 seconds, even when you want to record a shorter message. That's plenty long enough for this type of device. It's easy to change the message, too. Mine is quite durable--I've had it for 2 years, even dropped it on the cement, and it's still working fine.

Yes I had this set up to record 24 hours, and another identical cam on a separate channel set up only to record when the motion detection was tripped. The record time is determined by the setting of the DVR. Go for a bigger or upgradable hardrive.

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

No, it is motion recording. You can set motion zone on the camera. Once motion detected it starts record, also includes 5 sec. before motion. It keeps last 7 days motion video. Hope it helps.

It really all depends on how you configure the camera. If you have is set to constantly record, you might get a few days. If you have it set for motion detection, it will depend on how much traffic goes by the camera. You can tweak the motion detection settings to get the most recorded video on the SD as possible. I would say at least 5-10 days...

We have two motion-activated cameras that record live video at VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels at 4 fps). One camera is set to record a 40-second segment; the other 10. Their file sizes are 1.9MB and 710KB respectively. If my math is right, that means you could record and store 125, 40-second recordings (at the stated resolution) for a total of 83.3 minutes running time.With pets one would think camera position and sensitivity settings would need to be fiddled with. And, as others have mentioned check the library periodcially and download or delete.

Not sure I have all your answers you are looking for but I will give you my assessment. I have not used it in continuous mode for more than an hour or two at a time. In motion sensing mode, a new file is created for each continuous time motion is detected. I leave mine on motion detection most of the time to avoid long periods on no activity, the motion sensing works well with only one camera. Switching cameras cause it to kick out a new video file each time caused by the seene change. I personally have not filled a card to see if it will overwrite older files but I assume it will to the oldest file first.

It will depend. You buy a memory stick separate that keeps the info. Then you can put it into your computer and see what is happening. You can also put it on standby so it only comes on when there is movement that trigger it. I think it would be quite posspile. I have recorded off and on for three days with an 8gig.

I dont know exactly how you plan to use it, but this allows you to calibrate the level of movement you want to trigger the recording, so you could say it is motion activated.

Hello!I do not believe that it is motion activated but what is really cool about it is how long it will continually record on a single charge! Would you believe 4 years? No? That's good because it won't record non-stop for 4 years! But it will (should) record non-stop for some 60 minutes! Hope this is helpful to you!

about 30 days, it depends on how often you record. I have mine motion active so the recording will last longer
