Does this model have an internal battery so it will continue to record for a brief time in the event of an accident and the loss of vehicle 12V power?

Yes for about 10 to 20 minutes. But we try never to leave it on without power. If you turn off the car it will turn off with it. But you can turn the camera back on with its own power.

Yes it have internal battery after you fully charged it. Once the 12v power are at loss, you can unplug the charger and power it up to continue it as long it is already fully charged. It will be charging while you operating it with charger while you drive.

It has a motion sensor that activate recording as soon the vehicle starts running. I don't use it, because it causes the camera to stop recording while in a red light.

Yes, this camera uses a 7.4 volt, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. No, the camera does not have any internal memory; however you can buy an SD card for storage.

It is a built in battery, rechargeable no access to battery go on cc witness.com to get full specs. Unit is awesome, easy to use, recording is crisp and clear. Battery lasts a long time between uses.

Yes, the unit will run on the battery. If the unit is on continuous recording, the power last about 4 hours. If it is in stand-by, motion detection mode, you should be good for 10-12 hours.

Yes, there is an internal battery but it does not last long. I would not count on it for any use beyond short term. I never took the camera to a concert or event, just use it to record music for posting to YouTube. The accessory pack is a good value.

As long as you have power going to it , it will record. Battery life is 1-2 hour the most.

It doesn't utilize a battery, it uses power from your camera. You do control whether your mic is on or off (if it's off, you'll record from the camera mic), and the direction the sound capturing takes.

Yes & No!It all depends where it's plugged in. I plug mine into my Aux 12v socket, when I turn the car on or off the camera does as well. If you want to record all the time, or maybe utilize the motion detection option then you need to plug it into he vehicles primary 12v socket which is powered all the time.

you do not lose the recording, but of course it doesn't record when the batteries quit. That is a problem if you are sitting at a table with the microphone pointed to the speaker, as you do not see the red light go out if you are at the wrong angle to the front

yes. It has an autonomous 12 volt system. (battery should be maintained during long non-use periods)

No, it does not. When the power does out, it turns off. When it comes back on, it goes to the setup you programed. If the power is out for a long time (not sure how long) it will reset the time and not record unless you have it programed to record always.

It does not have a battery back up, you must record the info before you unplug it.

Hi! as long as you have it hooked up to the Cigarette Lighter and connected to the device, it will automatically turn on and off, record and overlap until you need the video, if in an accident or similar; when you need video, I would suggest you disconnect right away to make sure a new recording doesn't overlap the one you need but you have plenty of space so theoretically - should be fine; great device to have inside vehicle.

I believe the recording remains as long as it's not recorded-over on purpose, and the circuitry is in a functional state (i.e not broken or suffering from some sort of failure). As I recall, even removing the battery doesn't wipe out the recording.

It continuously records. It will stay powered on if you plug it into an accessory outlet that's powered even when the ignition is off. It loops back over previously recorded video. I keep mine on 24/7 so it records when I'm driving and records when my truck is parked. It also has a motion sensor that can be programmed to record when it's idle.

Yes, it requires a DVR as well to record the footage from the camera. The battery life is dependent upon the DVR's battery as well. We have a 3 or 7 hour battery FYI. We also have a few cameras that do not have any wires, but do not record for that long. Please contact us for details.
