It says the battery lasts 2 hours. If I leave it plugged in to a USB port, will it record and charge continuously?

Yes, if you use a charger like car USB, or wall USB, and not a computer, it will continue to record as it charges. I have done it several times.

When I am on a trip and making lots of pictures it will last most of one day but if I am just making pictures occasionally it will last for days or weeks depending on how often I use it. I am sorry but can't answer how many hours. I always carry a backup battery with me in case it runs out of power. It does keep its charge longer than off-brand batteries of equal size and is now the only brand I use.

Hi, I think theres something wrong whith your battery Or maybe the source from where you charge, the product manual says: [Note: Some low-power USB ports may not be able to provide enough charge power.]. I got mine for christmas too and battery works great, It gave me about 10 or more hours whith music/photo and video playback, Exelent Player!

I have the same problem. If you are recording continuously for more than 15 minutes, the camera heats up and begins to say that you're running out of power. At 20 minutes, it shuts off. The batteries aren't out of power - the camera is just not designed for continuous shooting.

It does have a battery that at best is good for about 2-3 hours. You can hook it to an AC adapter with Mini USB plug for use in the house. When powered up in a car, it automatically starts recording based on car motion. There are a couple of other options for recording as well. When I turn the car off, it stops recording.

I actually do not know. Mine records all the time when power applied. I have it set to record for 3 minutes and then start over for another 3 minute clip. Check your settings and the micro chip you installed. Is it still powered up when it stops recording? You could also have a malfunctioning unit.

Should run off internal battery. Should be able to charge via USB / cigarette charger. Records to memory still.

When the camera is plug to the 12V outlet, memory card is inside, you can charge while recording in 15 minutes segments, it will auto save and restart new files, over-write the oldest files when memory is full (Looping). Never out of juice and memory.

Mine appears to already be fully charged, so I can't tell yet. I'd have to run it down a while, I guess. Does yours not record anymore? I'm also not sure how it indicates when it is in the charging mode. If I learn more I'll get back to you.

With fully charged inbuilt battery you can record 20 - 30 mins of video. Its work on USB power. For a longer recording you need USB power on.

you can charge and record I've done it with mine. and as for memory it can hold up to 64gb sd card so i think it can record up to like 6 hours unles you add a second micro sd card . also if you have a computer it will record to the computer instead provided the drivers install and it works like a web cam so it could record all night.

I get 2 hours record time on a charge which was enough to catch who I needed to lol butif you are looking to record all day I would definitely suggest a unit that plugs in.

it usally takes about 2 hours to recharge the battery. i do not know if usb or car lighter port can be used. i would purchase a spare if taking many pictures.

Battery can last two months, depends on recording times. The recording is timeless, as you could record once per day, or once per second

I have not used it for 2 hrs straight but, I also own the larger Sony NP-FV100 battery pack. With this pack i was able to record (not continuous) a wedding and most of the reception before changing packs. The event lasted nearly 6 hours and with only 1 battery change during the reception I was able to capture everything. Hope this helps you.
