When it is attached to your mask/helmet, how do you know when it is recording?

You turn it on before recording. One press turns the light around the button on then a second press (and depress) turns on the recording feature. I beloeve that when the colour is a continuous orange it is recording. It is in the instruction manual (if you have already bought it, but if not you now have your answer. :-) ).I recommend you turn it on before putting it in it's holder, then that way you get yourself in the shot briefly before you dive.Hope that helps.

You hope.... There is no direct way to tell. If you removed it from mount, keep in housing you may be able to see a light of its just right conditions. But very unlikely. Normally you push it and it works. But it could stop and you wouldn't know until you upload your images.

I think the light has to be blinking. I had the same problem when I first got mine. I practiced for a while before using when diving

As others have said. You should practice and make sure the light is continuous orange -before- starting the dive. Start it before and stop it when you finish the dive. Control is almost impossible once the dive is underway unless you don't mind removing your mask every time you want to make sure you have started or stopped recording.

It has motion senors built in. If anything walks within the field of vision it will auto record if you set that feature up.

Not sure, but if you are referring to having it connected to a computer it could be a soft ware issue. I think I was covering up the mic with my hand at times inadvertently while recording.

This camera was activated to record by human body heat detection motion. Yours seems to record constantly as you are arounding the camera, and the camera can detect your body heat.

If the screen is on, there will be a red light on in the upper left corner indicating the device is recording. If the screen is off, there will be a flashing blue led light indicating the device is recording.

During playback, yes It's a soft botton on the screen. During recording, you simply yse the stop/start recording

When used correctly, it does not make any noise during recording. At least, did not for me.

It takes a few seconds before recording starts after you push record. As for looking at it, I don't think it knows if you're looking at it or not. Just push the record button, look wherever you want.

The camera is located on the right side of the frame if you are facing it (or left side if you are wearing it). The recording time is dependent on what kind of SD card you put in. The bigger the storage capacity, the longer it can record.

When you plug it in, it turns on and starts recording automaticaly. There is a button to pause recording if you want. When you unplug it, it turns off in a little while or you can just press the on/off button to turn it off manually

That's what I did. Works great, you might need to fuss with the mic location. Recommendation: take a zip tie and secure the muffler to the actual microphone. Otherwise you'll take off your helmet and it will eventually fall off and get lost.

If an accident just happening in front of you, and you would like the file to be locked, just activate g sensor like William said ( say adjust the mirror a bit so the machine detects movement ) , then that specific file would be locked and after that locked file, it will still keep on recording hope this helpsthanks Marie

You are so right. I did not realize this until i went to play back what i had just recorded and discovered it was not there. That's when i realized i had reached the end of the tape without knowing. If you get an answer to your question please let me know. I assumed it was a flaw in the design i had to live with. More power to you at least you asked the question. Good luck ~Kindly~Renate

You will have to start the recording first mount your phone then put your helmet on your head either that or buy the chest mount I have both and prefer the chest mount over it being I too of my helmet I have already broken a helmet mount from crashing if it's on your chest less of a chance for it to break

Yes that's right - it's attached to the side of the helmet with a Velcro / adhesive patch. I installed it in my wife's modular helmet and it's been quite secure. Was worried at first but it's done very well.

It really is an issue. It takes several seconds to determine distance and volume level before starting the recording. You never really know when the recording is kicking in.

There is a small built-in microphone at the bottom side of the camera. Also check to be sure that sound is enabled on the menu screen before recording.
