Can the audio recording be turned off so the camera doesn't record sound in the car while driving?

Yes, it can. A simple push of a button toggles the audio record option on and off.

Yes. There is a small switch on the side. When you set it to the "record" position, you press the large button to begin the recording and again to stop it. When you set it to the "play" position, it plays your recorded audio.

Ours has a switch on the bottom of the car to turn it off. I don't know if there is a way to mute the sounds, though.

No. When the camera is powered by a switched outlet in your car, it will turn on and automatically begin recording when you start the car. The camera also has a recharagable battery. You can also set the camera to keep recording for a short amount of time after you turn off the car. Once the time limit has expired, it will stop recording and shut off automatically. Once you have set up this camera, it will record each time you start your car and will turn off automatically after you turn off the car. It is very hassle free.

You can turn off the beep sound. From the factory it does chirp when hitting Record and turning Record off as well as whenever you are programing or setting optional controls and the change is accepted. Again, this can be turned off. When in the Beep Off mode the beep only occurs if you have an Alarm set or a Timer set. Otherwise the device is silent in Beep Off mode.

Yes, if your car charger stays live when key is off, you will need to manually turn off the DVR Dash camera or it will continue to stay on and record

Hi Jame's Dad, Thank you for your inquiries! Recording Sound, or Not On the Dash Cam menu, you do have the option to have the microphone on or off. Just press the "Menu" button. Use the arrow buttons to move the selection up or down until to find "Audio Record". Press the "OK" button on the top of the camera to select "Audio Record". Use the arrows again to select on or off. and press the "OK" button. when done, press "Menu" to get back to the main screen. There is a Microphone image that will appear when sound recording is on. It will disappear when sound recording is off. Sound & Volume The best sound from the videos you record will be heard in playback mode on your computer where external settings can be altered. When playing the video back on the cam itself, there is a limited amount of volume the unit will be able to play back, but it should be relatively comparable to the unit you have received. Loop Recording with this model Dash Cam A 32GB SD card will record up to 6 hours of continuous footage (depending upon use). It saves the files in 2 minutes intervals, continually dropping the oldest footage. The camera also has a g-sensor and a panic button -- when pressed/activated the camera will lock the current video for one minute before and after -- these videos can only be deleted by formatting the SD card. Upon playback on your computer you can save the videos in 2 minute increments or as one full video (up to 2GB each). "Auto-Off" If turned on and plugged in while the car is off, the cam could pull from the car's battery. This depends on your car. Some cars will shut off power to these outlets while others will not. The camera normally will shut off automatically when the car is turned off. I hope that information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

You can right click your sound, &gt; Recording devices then right click the "USB MIC" and click disable. Also make sure to plug it in the back of ur pc or the person you're in a call with will hear beeping.

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

Yes. That's the only way I use mine. When I turn on my car, it automatically turns on and starts recording.

Yes, the camera records audio in movie mode. There are two small microphones on the front of the camera, just below the LCD display. There is a wind-noise reduction option you can enable in the movie settings menu. The manual goes into detail on what functions might add inadvertent noises to your recording such as the optical focus and zoom motors.
