Will this keep track of the recorded wattage if the power goes out? I.e. the P3 P4400 will loose data if power goes out.

The unit has a compartment for two button type batteries (supplied with the unit) that back up the memory if the power goes out. So the answer is: yes.

On my unit if the power plug gets pulled when it is on it comes back on. So if the unit is own a power strip and the power strip gets turned off the unit will power back up. I keep my unit on my desk but keep it powered off unless I need to use it.

Mine is set to record continuously as long as power is on from car. Shuts off about one minute after power goes off. Resolution is not that great! can't read license plate directly in front of me!

It does not start recording on power up you have to hit the record button. All the recordings are stored on an SD card so if it Loses power your recording to that point will be saved

They do remember. HOWEVER the manual says to always power off via controller before power off. And I've had three of these units (out of three) either DOA or fail shortly thereafter. Not happy with the engineering of these controllers.

I don't know. I have the laptop plugged in most of the time and only unplug it for travel or meetings. Never really kept track. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Yes, if the 12V connection stays powered when the car is off. Most newer cars shut the power off. In "parking mode" it only records when it senses motion, so it won't get a complete recording of everything.

It starts recording when power is supplied. Works great if your lighter socket is not powered when the key is off, otherwise you may want to hard wire it to an switched accessory tap on your fuse box.

I believe it writes data to hard drive, so it does not need constant power. I have lost power and unplugged it a few times with no data loss.

Yes it does "remember" most settings. After a power failure, all settings remain except the date and time.

If you were to monitor other electronic devices you could tell if the power was out. Not sure how you would monitor your internet connection unless you had your router in the camera surveillance area.

It will keep its settings in memory. We have a lot of power surges as well and have never had an issue to where we've had to reset it each time.

OK, if I want to measure how many watts my refer uses in 24 hours,how do I do it on the 4460?Tx for any comments.

Hello Kelly, From my experience it saves your settings. I think you can think of the memory in this more like a flash drive. when not powered it still keeps the info. it does not have a battery inside, but i dont think it needs one. it is also part of your alarm system and would be using the juice from its battery in case of a power outage. hope this helps

Yes it will. but if you are in a place where you have plug it up while recording, that's even better. Then you won't have to work about power. It allows you to charge and record at the same time

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.

Not that I'm aware of, I just had a power outage yesterday and the unit remained off
