After the motion is on, how many minutes will it record? Or is it until the motion is over?

The camera records during motion, but there may be a default maximum file size before the program cycles to a new file. So you may find two 5 minute files on your computer if someone dances for ten minutes in front of the camera. I've never found something larger than a couple of minutes.

It should record as long a there is movement. I believe this can be set up.

If you have set the camera to record on to a flash drive when it detects motion, do not insert the drive until you are about to leave the house. The camera will then record any motion to the drive after you have left.

Motion Detection Mode Works with following "Monitor settings" DV Mode: Motion Detection,,,Video Size:640,,,DV Quality:Normal,,,Video Timestamp: On,,,Video Loop Record:On,,,Video Segment:10min(should be don't care),,,Auto Record:On,,,Screen Display:Show,,,DV IR LED:Auto,,,DV Audio:On. You will see following message when Motion Detect starts. "Motion Detection will start, recording time is 5 minutes." (There is countdown time from 10 to 0). At T=0, the little blue dot in upper right corner will show when recording. When NOT recording, there is ll pause symbol.,,,,,,,, One easy way to check if motion detect is working is to place the camera face down on the table. This way you know there is no motion being detected. Wait 5~10 minutes. Flip the camera/clock back up. You should see the ll pause symbol for a second or two and then see the blue dot when recording starts.

2to 3 days,then the memory will get full,its best to set it on motion detection record,that way you only record when it detects motion,that way you don't use a lot of memory up for nothing.

Hello Kevin.It will record up to 8 hrs continuous before you need to recharge. That is why it is recommended to set on motion activation mode. Say you leave in a house and no one enters the home it will not record and the battery will last up to 30 days before you need to recharge (that is called standby mode)I hope that answered your question.Thank you,JosephSleuth Electronics LLC

Hello Yes, there is a few second delay before it picks up motion which is normal because the battery goes into a "save battery mode" so when someone walk by and trigger it to start it will have a few second before it start recording again.

I have mine set to record only when motion is detected and I just looked at the DVR. It has 60 days of recordings on it and that is only how far I looked back, there could be more...At night a spider puts out its web in the view of one of the cameras and the web moves in the wind, it records solid throughout the night. Then in the morning it takes the web up and it goes back to only recording motion.

There is no setting for length of recording. Most of my recordings are between 15-30 seconds, but some have been longer. I don't feel that I "miss" any action in my recordings. My guess is that due to the "free" nature of the hosting service, it wouldn't record for an hour, etc.

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.

Hi Alexander, the expected recording time would depend on the quality of videos you take. You can record on the highest quality for about 3 hours. Thanks_Mitch

It can record up to a 22-23 min video at a time. If you want to take pictures while recording, you simply hit the shutter button.

these record in 30 minute segments.....at 29 minutes turn it off then on again and it will continue for 30 more minutes

I recorded once for 1 hr and left it on stand my for 2 days than recorded for another 45 minutes before it died. So I would assume around 3 days maybe or more.

I believe around 72 hours, mine is only put 8gb and it record up to 18 hours but there is a option for loop recording so mine is whenever the video file over 18 hours, it will delete itself and keep recording the new one, hope my answer will help you :)

When you set the motion mode in the menu it is very sensitive to any motion, whether it is a movement of the car/camera or just something passing in front of it. As long as it has power it will record approximately 1 minute segments every time it detects motion.

No. The recorder has an on-off switch on one side. Once you turn it on, it will continue to record until it runs out of space, charge or you turn it off. It records in 4 hour chunks, so if you leave it running for 8 hours, for instance, you will get two 4 hour files.

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