How long is the typical record time before it starts to loop over itself? Please include SD card size you used.

If you are recording only motion. It will depend on the environment you put it in on how long till the SD card fills up. The places I have used it, 8GB didn't even fill up before I'd swap batteries. But if you put it somewhere where there is constant motion you will get completely different results.

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.

The Pen camera stops recording every thirty minutes and the starts and stops every thirty minutes on its own. At least that is how I observed. After 2 hours I had 4 separate files.

It depends on your SD Memory card size. What I can tell you is -- for 4 GB SD Card you record for 1.25 hour on HD 1080 mode, so you can calculate the recording time by the multiple of 4 GB times 1.25 hour and it is the answer. Thank you for this question.

According to the documentation, it should record up to 29 minutes or 2 GB. But the only time I tried to record more than 10 minutes was my cousin's wedding, where it froze on me. So whether it's actually capable of recording up to spec, I couldn't say.

I am using a 16 GB memory card that records approximately six months of motion activated (15-20 events a day x 20 times a day) footage before recording over the old footage. I have not recorded hours or days worth at a time. Only motion activated footage.

The amount of data that is recorded varies tremendously. Variables affecting the total amount that can be recorded on a 32GB SDXC card are; recording resolution, frames per second, sound or no sound, GPS or no GPS. I record about 9 hours, 15 minutes at 900 HD resolution, 30 fps, with sound and GPS. The largest clip I've recorded is 173MB. At that rate, I can record 185 clips at 3 minutes per clip. After 9 hours 15 minutes of recording, the camera overwrites the oldest clip, in order. Hope this answers your question and helps.

@Benjamin Augustine: I was having the 1 second recording problem, too. I followed your instructions to reformat the internal memory, and it did the trick. Thank you so much for sharing that!

I tried a 64G one, Up from the original 32G and let it record consistently for two days and it still loops at about 6Hrs or 25G worth of video/audio. I re-formatted the card and will test again but am already disappointed that it will not allow a 64G from what it has already done.

There are two recording session lengths 5 Min and 10 min. Default is 5 Min. So after the first 5 minute session it will close that file (#1) and start a new session file and close it after 5 minutes (#2 file) and so on. When 32 GB is reached -which is after about 9.5 hours- the camera will go back and write over the # 1 file, then #2 etc. So you can look back up to about 9.5 hours..

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 :)

I hope you mean a 32GB card. It all depends on the resolution you set at recording. Most if not all cameras have a max. record time of 29 minutes. But that's continuous recording. You can stop at that point and start recording again. SDHC card packaging has a chart on the back that gives recording times/photo count, at the various resolutions.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)
