Does this make a loud noise when the battery dies while recording? I need it loud, I have been burned. If you don't know, please don't respond.

The manual says "When the batteries are nearly empty, the battery indicator blinks", it does not mention anywhere a sound.http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvt5500_00/dvt5500_00_dfu_aen.pdf

I know it has all you asked about but the "forge"?? Also I don't know how to get sound loud enough to hear. Does it have to be plugged into a computer with speakers to listen to your recordings? Hope not. Great recorder otherwise. We recorded about 19 sessions of about 1-2 hours each over 3 days at a health care conference in DC and it lasted through all but the last one.

Hi Giorgi, sorry to hear this. This camera has a built in speaker that when playing back recorded videos, sound should come out. -Vincent

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

I havent ran the battery dead while recording yet but if i remember right i watched a reveiw that said that tge battery lasts from half an hour to an hour depending on the quality of the video you use.

you do not lose the recording, but of course it doesn't record when the batteries quit. That is a problem if you are sitting at a table with the microphone pointed to the speaker, as you do not see the red light go out if you are at the wrong angle to the front

Yes, but it's not noticeable, really, at least not distracting. It's red, at first, to indicate recording, then it fades to a muted blue color. I bought this to record meetings where people lie through their teeth. They have no idea I'm recording and are dumb enough to lie again, even after I used the first recording against them. I can keep it in my hand, pocket, or purse and it still records well. I have used it to record 10 hours, so far, and haven't charged it yet, so I can't speak to the 150 hours claim, but I don't know when I'd ever need it that long. I like plugging in to my computer to download the files right away, just in case. It's worth buying this fun little gizmo. :) Yes, but it's not noticeable, really, at least not distracting.

I have not experienced this issue as of yet. The documentation included stated that when the battery starts to get low it will beep to inform you of the low battery and to change it. If you miss the warnings and the battery goes dead on you, the unit comes with a key that will open the it manually. If you look at the picture of the front of the unit, there is a small tag next to the big dial (Lock) you will need to unscrew one of the screws holding the tag and the key slot is behind the tag. As a side note, I love this unit and if you follow the instructions to program your biometrics, you will have no problems with recording your prints and it will not open to anyone not recorded as authorized to open it. It works great! Good Luck!

I never left it on when the battery got low because of the noise it made, I just turned it off, don't know.

When you turn on the recorder, it does not make any noise. When you record it makes a very soft beep and also when you stop ( 2 beeps) Nothing bothersome. Reproduction is very good for a lecture, not ideal for a classical music concert.

No, once the memory card is full it stops recording. But also it is battery operated so even if it could eventually the battery would die.

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

for me, the beeping noise is that it's lost connection to the camera. try turning the camera on and off again. If that doesn't work, call customer service.

If the battery is completely empty, it may need a few minutes to get enough of a charge to start recording. It does, however, record normally when hooked up for charging.

I'm sure answers will vary , one the memory used and the battery, mine records for approx 2 hours , and it make a file at 59 min , then it will automatically begin a new file . I don't know why it does this but it works fine. it does tend to get a little warm when recording for a long period of time.

Howdy I attend a regularly meeting once a month. I record about hour to hour and half with no problems or shut offs. The sound is pretty good on the replay on computer. I have only used it twice since I bought it. I hopes this helps
