Every few minutes, I get the message stating: Video monitoring has expired. Please click in the camera to resume monitoring. What do I have to do?

I am unsure how to troubleshoot such issue. The best idea I would go back to the factory user's guides to see if there is a topic for your concern. If not, I will find out the factory customer service phone number and call them for further assistance. Hope it helps.

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

I haven't managed to get it to record yet. I can't get to the security screen !!

Sorry, I'm no help. I have never tried to use the video aspect of the camera. I do like the camera tho'!

I realize this was posted several month ago. My flip camcorder (same model) stopped responding at the same time yours did. The last video it recorded was on April 26th. I tried what LFJ suggested, but it did not work. I tried plugging the camcera into the USB port today (6/28/11) and, suddenly, it works again. Felt like Christmas. So if you have given up, ...give it one last shot and see if it works. Not sure if I can trust it, though.... Maybe it needed an update (which it did). Good luck.

The most Ive been able to record at a time is 2:00 min then it stops and you have to start over .

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

The problem may be the application you are using to view that video. I have found the the free program "VLC" works well.

Currently I'm no help. I only use 9 cameras and haven't used the recording as yet.

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

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

Restart computer, download youcam or something which uses webcams. I'm too high to put much thought into this.

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

I have the very same problem. There must be some type of program error. I did a lot of research and gave up. I just pull the SD card and plug into my PC. There was no warranty on my camera when I found out it would not work with my PC or TV.

Thanks D. Henschel! I had used about 120 mins out of 160mins originally. Once I plugged into my computer--sifted through the videos--I deleted all the ones I didn't want from the DCIM folder, which sent them into my "Trash" bin. I turned my flip back on and even though it said "No Videos" -- it was only showing 40 mins of recording time. What I needed to do was empty my "Trash" permanently with the Flip still plugged in my computer. Once I did that--it was back to normal. Even if it's deleted from the DCIM folder and into the trash--and not showing on the actual Flip Video Camera

you can just let it run. you can set the memory settings to record till memory is full or overwrite oldest video first.

I would call the company & try to get another one, or just buy another system. I record my video on my desktop computer. Much easier to work with, never look at my recorder video.
