Hello! If you are talking about the 'loop recording' setting, from the menu, I can help you. The options I have when choosing 'loop recording' are off, 1 minute, 2 minutes and 3 minutes. I do not have 5 minutes displayed there. If you choose off, the camera will record a video file until the memory from the micro sd card will be filled, then stop. For the other 3 options, it will record video files of 1, 2, or 3 minutes duration and when the memory is full it automatically erases the oldest video file on the memory card, so you don't have to erase anything manually in order to be able to record more, once the memory is full. I hope this was helpful. Hori. Hello! If you are talking about the 'loop recording' setting, from the menu, I can help you.

I don't remember already all options.. the main idea of recording with loops is to keep files rotating. The oldest file in case there will be no more space to write new one should be deleted.. Files should be orginized somehow and have appropriate chosen lenght of time.. "2 minutes" setting means that their max time will be 2 minutes each.. Shorter lenght - smaller each file size. I don't know what does it mean "off".. CAn only guess that you will write the only file (memory card size is the limitation), without rewriting (looping) old information.

Yes it records in a loop mode-the oldest file in the memory card is overwritten.

Yes, I think it's good for recording up to 12-14 hours.... Once you figure out the graphs, good information.... It only takes a couple minutes to download...

10 minutes...but maybe you can use it for saving your loop when disconnected (which can be very useful, but i didnt try it because my battery was already dead..)

I don't know, but I'm guessing about 7-10 days. What I do know is that the recordings will roll over once the drive is full, so it's a continuous recording over the same drive.

Not totally sure. I know my kids have recorded a long message, but as far as recording a whole song - I'm assuming not. Sorry I'm not much help.

Sorry I can't really answer that as I have never really used the recorder long enough to see how long a charge will last.

Hi. You can record as much and as long as you want depending on the size of your SD Card. There is a 30 minute limit to any one recording however, then you can begin recording again.

Try the Flexible recording method- Should get much more than 4 hours and 18 minutes using this method

This recorder does not overwrite the oldest file as a dash cam would do. However, you can manually delete files to free up space. It also has internal memory, in addition to using the chip. If you get into a bind, you can delete files, switch to internal memory, or lower the resolution of the recording. An 8 gb chip will record about 12 hours at the highest resolution. a 32 gb chip will record for about 50 hours at the highest resolution and for about 368 hours with MP3 at 192.

Does anyone have an answer because I'd like to use it to record concerts and sometimes they can go upwards to 2- 2 1/2 hours long

When set as the mode of "loop record", it will record for 2-3 days continuously and overwrite the oldest recordings once the memory card is full. The bigger the card the more time recorded on the card. A 16Gb card can give you almost 2 days of recordings.

Yes it does loop. The time frame depends on your camera resolution settings. I think I have mine set on 640 lines and the loop is 21 days. Oldest recordings are erased first. This is a great system for homes or small businesses but make sure to secure the recorder against theft.
