Normal mode records in 3 min intervals? Is there no option to record a longer continuous trip, say 20 min or an hour?

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

No, recorded clips duration is fixed and cannot be changed, but you can stitch them together with movie maker in ms window. Quicktime needs additional video codes.

No, it only does 3 min intervals. kind of a pain to review on pc, but it works great for me. I would recommend the polarized lens for the camera, it helps a lot with the glare.

No. The file would be too large. The system over writes the old ones once full. This enables you to keep a record longer.

Hi Andrew, the DVD recorder has the capability to record 2 hours or more depending on the recording mode used. -Vincent

I would like to know also as sometimes when I record over 1 hour and 17 minutes it will not copy it do a cd; if smaller it will. So I have learned to stop at that point and start new recording if you want to transfer to a cd.

Yes, there is a mode which you can record when there is movement. No movement, it would stop recording.

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 !

If it has a maximum record time, it's fairly long. I recorded 10 seconds of dialogue on it and none of it got cut off.

by my understanding after using it and reading the manual, there are are only two options; loop or recording until full. The loop recording has three different times. However, the longest loop time is 10 minutes. This is my main complaint. Why only short loop recordings? If you turn OFF the loop, it keeps recording until the SD is full. Then, it stops recording unless you delete some recorded files or format it. Unlike a surveillance camera system, it is not capable to overwrite the storage and keeps recording over and over through the whole capacity of a storage. If I am wrong, please let me know. by my understanding after using it and reading the manual, there are are only two options; loop or recording until full.

Hi there Chris - Yes there are two recording modes - voice-activated and continuous recording. With the continuous recording mode it will record sound and video. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

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.

There is no option to choose a recording speed. It copies exactly as recorded on the master disc.... and it takes only 2 to 4 minutes.

There is no record function. There is only the normal broadcast mode as well as an auxiliary mode.

You can set a specific time to record in 15, 30, 1 hour file. you can also do a manual recording, not sure if it will overwrite when its full or stop recording.

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

yes, it can only record for 10 minutes at a time, it's in the manual. So you have to break it up into 10 minute segments.

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.
