Hi yes you can record while it's plugged in you lighter outlet or just charge your battery full and charge it in your pc.its lasts around 1 day with battery

Yes, but if you're planning to use it as a dash-cam, you have to physically turn it on every time you start your car. it can be charged by any standard 5v usb port. It can film while charging.

I use mine as a car dash cam so it is always plugged in a charging whenever the engine comes on. This camera has a car mode and will start and stop recording when it senses power.

Yes, the Virb does record while charging. However, I have not tested this out with a cigarette adapter, but I do not think that would be an issue.

No, the DVR does not record while being charged and vice versa. If you attempt to charge it as it is recording it will still not charge. Nor does it loop the video recording once the SD card is full.

Not that I have found. When you charge it, you can not operate it as a camera. Charging seems to disconnect the operating function.

Yes you can do it with the mobius A/V cable which allows charging and live video preview. You can get one of these cable here A/V Cable For The Mobius 1080p HD Sports Camera By Novotm. . But I would not recommend mobius as a car-back camera as it does not have a range finder overlay. Its a very good dash cam although.

Yes, it can charge and record simultaneously. There is a DVR feature that allows you to set up a continuous loop recording so you only record for an hour of video at a time.

I just did a quick test: it can charge and record at the same time, at least with the USB cable mine came with. But, here's the trick: I was only able to get it to do this by flipping the switch first, and then plugging the cable in. The camera will continue recording. Doing the reverse order does not result in a recording.

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.

Only video, and not very well. I ended up returning mine due to inconsistent recording. I had bought this for a family situation and though the "event" occurred, when I checked to see that we had gotten it on video, all I had was 5 sec. of me plugging it in and then nothing. I would try another brand.

I don't think so. The unit has a dedicated power cord that has a USB connector on the device end and a cigarette lighter connector on the other. There is also a standard USB cable that comes with the unit and when connected to my computer, the unit goes into "USB mode" (and annunciates the fact) which allows reading captured video clips. Because of this, I don't think the device would be in capture mode when connected with a standard USB cable, but would instead switch to read mode.Hope this helps...

With the $3.99 upgraded app, one may record the video locally. I have not tried it though.

No. It last only an hour or one and half an hour of continued recording. At six months of recharging batteries, this time is reduced to 15 minutes or less. After 9 or 12 months of use, no charge. Good video with sound.
