Try setting the emergency brake... Seriously, you will need to give a better description of the problem. I bought a Q-See system because of the rave reviews for customer service. It is early days but, as yet, I have not had much (any) satisfaction from the company.

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!

Hi, If the Tiny little red light is on it is recording, Make sure you have it set to one minute in recording options not five Minutes. Files will be to large to load. This video should help.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-dfvPX0dOs

you dont fix it - what you must do if you dont want a wide ratio u grab tape and turn the cam sideways. Logitech makes very cheap cameras, so im not surprised. i have the same exact camera as you and i dont have this problem, but since urs is faulty, just make due - not worth customer service headaches.

The Pen camera stops recording every thirty minutes and the starts and stops every thirty minutes on its own. At least that is how I observed. After 2 hours I had 4 separate files.

I've had the same problem with my ultra plus since day one. It was a gift and I didn't pursue taking it back to the original retailer. I've discovered that by holding the pause/record button in for a second or two it works better, but even this doesn't work every time. At times I have to turn the camera off while recording in order to stop recording. Really aggravating. Wish I could be of more help but it appears to be a widespread problem with this video camera. Otherwise I'd recommend this neat little camera to anybody. Since it seems to be a widespread problem I'd suggest folks buy a different camera. Should you discover a solution to this problem I do hope you'll post. I've had the same problem with my ultra plus since day one.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

you can just let it run. you can set the memory settings to record till memory is full or overwrite oldest video first.

Perhaps a little test would be in order. Delete all the messages from the recorder and then re-record some messages and see how many you can record.

I have it set to record over when it runs out. You can copy it off to a computer or DVD and then start over. The more you have it set to record the more data it records. Mine is set to come on at each camera when there is movement on that camera 24/7. You decide how each is to record. You also can have it email you when getting full

It may be something else that is coming into contact with the camera or the way you have it mounted. Do some trouble shooting record video with it mounted in whatever way you use in regularly, run around jump up and down and do the hokie pokie (should be a great vid) then remove the camera and shake it wile firmly grasping it in your bare hand, then try holding it with just your fingers and shaking it. watch the video to see when it makes the noise. if it makes that clicking noise when you have it in your hand I would definitely contact tachyon for some help.

Yes, it is (at least for me) always closed when recording, and I only open the display when I need to look through video for playback.

Clean all connections to camera clean heads make sure ur using quality tapes go thru all control settings there is no reason why this camera should be under performing

Sounds like you are connected with a component video cable and you either have the cable connected incorrectly or you are using a bad cable.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".
