This might be redundant but how long does the camera record in one sitting? I need it for school while I'm teaching.

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

I can assure you that 16 gb is a lot. Recording time up to 12hrs +. I got the micro sd 16gb for cameras nd I have a lot of recording time. Simply put, you don't have to buy another one for a long time. Make sure you get the right sd card for cameras !!!!!!!

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

Sorry, I don't remember... I'll look for it when the camera breaks :-). I think it is at least 1 year, but this info should be easy to find out online.

hello, as far as the memory card goes, it stops recording when full. with a 32gig card, I got about 5 hours of recording time. I just erase the card once a week on my laptop. when the card gets full it tells you. the menu is quite tempermental as formatting the card while in the dashcam is a pain.

i recorded my granddaughters basketball game, 1 hour 10 minutes, still showing 3 bars on the battery, also you can buy a bigger battery for this, i feel 3hrs of continuous recording if you not going crazy on zooming in and out. i still buy backup batteries for every camera i purchase. i love how good the recording was, following action, and i held camera the whole game zooming in and out, and it was great steady movie picture.and very lite. i would buy again.

I haven't used the camera much. I bought it for others to use, so I'm not an expert. But from what I've seen, my guess is that it will take a couple of hours of video. If the charge life is a concern, I suggest getting a second battery.

On a 16 gb card, about 9 minutes. The camera records in AVI format, which is not compressed like mpeg. It does decent video, but the time restriction means that you will need another camera for longer videos.

Ive only recorded about 10 minutes straight. I would assume you can record as long as you want if you have the space on the SD card.

Hi,If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out.If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

I have a 16GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card in it. It will record just over three hours of video at the 720p 60 Frames Per Second Setting (3H 3M 30Seconds to be exact). You can get One Hour of non-stop recording on a single battery before it runs out of power. Buy two spare aftermarket batteries here on Amazon for about 8 bucks each, and you'll be able to record for a hour, then swap the battery out to record for hour two, and the same for hour three. When figuring out how much memory is used for recording, the 720p@60 Frames Per Second will use exactly the same amount of memory that 1080p does at 30 Frames Per Second. So recording at HD levels uses about 5.4 Gigabytes per hour. I recommend the Transcend SDHC "Class 10" 16 Gigabyte card, which is currently only Fourteen Dollars on Amazon. You MUST get at least a "CLASS 10" memory card, as you need it's fast recording speed to record HD Video. The comments below about the camera stopping after a few minutes is because they used memory that was too slow, which will cause the camera to stop after a few minutes because it can't write to the memory fast enough. With a Class 10 card, this is a non-issue. This is well documented all over the internet btw, so feel free to confirm that with a google search. :-) The Spare Batteries are $7-8 each.

It records in a continuous loop that is broken down into about one minute segments a 32 gb card will run about 8 hours I keep mine connected to a power source whenever it on so I have no idea how long the battery last also I run mine on a PC I know nothing about a Mac one last comment my camera in daylight records a excellent clear sharp picture in low light does good but if it's driving at night with only headlights the quality is not very good short answer I would buy another if needed

It depends on the size of the card you put in it. I put a 16gb microSD in it and I'll never run out of recording time. This model has the lower quality camera so a 1 minute video is about 30MB. If you upgrade to the 2MP camera model, it will be about 150MB for a 1 minute video but the video quality is worth it.

with looping...If you select "off".. the camera will record until all the memory is used on your card, at which point the camera will just shut off. if you select 2 minutes... the camera will record continuously for 2 minutes at which point it will make a file at the end of 2 minutes. then the camera will make a new file for another 2 minutes and just repeat the process until all the memory is used on your card. once it is all used the camera will take the oldest file and just record over it. This is the same process if you select 5 minutes. Its best to have it record on a loop for 2 or 5 minutes, I use 5 minutes. That way the camera will always record as along as it is turned on. I hope that helps. with looping...If you select "off".. the camera will record until all the memory is used on your card, at which point the camera will just shut off. if you select 2 minutes... the camera will record continuously for 2 minutes at which point it will make a file at the end of 2 minutes. then the camera will make a new file for another 2 minutes and just repeat the process until all the memory is used on your card. once it is all used the camera will take the oldest file and just record over it.

We have two motion-activated cameras that record live video at VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels at 4 fps). One camera is set to record a 40-second segment; the other 10. Their file sizes are 1.9MB and 710KB respectively. If my math is right, that means you could record and store 125, 40-second recordings (at the stated resolution) for a total of 83.3 minutes running time.With pets one would think camera position and sensitivity settings would need to be fiddled with. And, as others have mentioned check the library periodcially and download or delete.

Check your settings, or batteries. I use it all of the time and have it recording anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. I do not have that problem. I have three of these recorders and when I need another one I will buy this brand.
