How long will the recorder run before it shuts off?

I've ran mine 3 or 4 minutes without any problems, think it really depends on what size memory card you use

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. I bought this camera for my daughter and she has not used the record feature yet. :(

Yes if turned off it will no longer loop. You have to make sure you have a time set or it will fill up and stop recording.

Check your settings, or batteries. I use it all of the time and have it recording anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. I do not have that problem. I have three of these recorders and when I need another one I will buy this brand.

It will erase the oldest files when the card is full and keep going so you'll always have the last 5 or 6 hours on the card. Please be aware that this unit does NOT use the more efficient Mpeg4 video format so the recording capacity is fairly short.

Hello Shelly, The finalizing process is about a minute. It is much quicker than most. This recorder has never given me any problems!

It will stop recording 30 seconds after it stops sensing motion. I hope that helps take care.

I'm not quite sure-however if you're recording at full hd, you will use more memory. At the lowest setting, I think you can get about 7 hours. At the highest, maybe just a couple of hours. (I sent this as a gift to my dad so I haven't used it-but he loves it and I haven't heard anything negative)

Howdy I attend a regularly meeting once a month. I record about hour to hour and half with no problems or shut offs. The sound is pretty good on the replay on computer. I have only used it twice since I bought it. I hopes this helps

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.

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.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

The only thing that takes time is running the cables. I ran mine through the walls so it took some time. I would say about six hours to run the cable and set up the recorder.

There is an indicator to let you monitor the battery level. I have not had the batteries die on me, but it would make sense that the recorded audio up to that point would be okay. I suspect the recorder would shut itself down and finalize the audio file- as opposed to it just going dead suddenly.

Battery: The battery in this unit is intended to operate the unit for 15 seconds after power loss due to an accident or crash. If the unit is turned on without the Cigarette Lighter Adapter attached you can manually start recording and the camera will operate for approximately 1.5 hours on battery power. Note that the screen will turn off after 30 seconds to conserve battery.

According to the documentation, it should record up to 29 minutes or 2 GB. But the only time I tried to record more than 10 minutes was my cousin's wedding, where it froze on me. So whether it's actually capable of recording up to spec, I couldn't say.

Initially I thought I had a problems with how quickly the batteries discharged, until I found I was not turning the system off when I was not using it. Now that I double check to turn the recorder off, the charge seems to last a long time. Hope this is of some help.

After the POWER switch is turned on it takes about 5 or 6 seconds for the unit to boot up at which time the screen will display the word STOP. The unit is then in a "standby/ready" mode and pressing the RECORD button will start recording instantly. When in the standby/ready mode, if you don't press any buttons for about 10 minutes the screen will go blank and the unit enters the "power save" mode. Pressing any button will return the unit to the standby/ready mode from which you can instantly start recording by pressing the RECORD button.
