The device has to be pressed to work -- no "On / Off" switch settings for it to work unattended. Can anyone please confirm? Thanks.

Yes, it does have to be pressed. You are correct for there is no/off switch. How long you press it -is up to you. I have to press it longer at times to get the dog to stop barking but it does work on my yorkie.

You do not have keep your foot on it to keep it turned on. Just press once to turn on and again to turn it off.

I just leave mine on. There really is no on/off switch... so you would have to unplug it. Had mine more than a year....still working great. Hope this helps you.

Not sure what problems you had but I have not experience any. Turn it on, it's on, turn it off, it's off.

That HAS happened to me, and yes, turnng off and on will work but also, needlesstosay, I checked my batteries, must use very powerful ones but after that, it worked good. It's been a very good, SMALL camera. I've had this a while, then bought another one from Amazon, which was much cheaper than when new. May 1, 2014

It's not a momentary solution. Power stays on until YOU decide to "unclick" it. It is an awesome lil gadget. I totally recommend it.

Yes, I'm having a problem as well. I think it goes to the default setting when I turn it off? Works good otherwise.

Hi Ya. I've have a couple of issues with the on/off switch. But, I think it's because of the water proof casing and that I'm a little impatient sometimes. It'll start up as long as I press and hold the on/off button til the little green light lites up. Then it works great!!

I've not tried that directly, but I suspect the controller is not smart enough to remember it's settings without power, ie, you unplug, it resets to off.

The switch is really hard to turn on. It's a guessing game. I actually called the company last year complaining, but they couldn't do anything but to offer to return it. It started working somehow so I never returned it.

You have to hold the button in. Unfortunately it doesn't have an on/off button or switch.

I never actually stuck it up, mainly because of how disappointed I was by the whole "always needing to be plugged in" feature. It's still in the box for me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

I just tried it. I put my computer in sleep mode and all the devices that are plugged into the controlled slot turned off. So if your peripherals are plugged into the the controlled slots they will turn off.

Cool... I struggled with this for a week. Could not find any reset button or hard reset. Turning the switch off for 15 seconds by holding my thump on the lower right corner of the screen. It asked with a message 'Do you want to erase user setup?' I pressed No and then it started working...What is this placing finger on the right bottom corner does, no idea. but it works! Thanks a million.

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.
