Will scheduled recordings still record if computer is in sleep mode? I realize this doesn't connect to the PC directly.

Yes they do. I have owned Ceton tuners for 4 years. The windows media service runs in the background as long as the computer is on and not hibernated. Sleep mode is fine.

Nope. The recording is dependont on the computer. The device only supplys the decripted video.

No. The computer has to be running. The computer sets the channel and starts the recording. The recording is stored on the computer's hard drive. It is certainly possible for the computer to wake itself at the required time and start the recording. Setting it up to wake itself may require some work.

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Yes - but I don't know the sensitivity (threshold that triggers the mic). I use "always on" to avoid a break in the recording.

I have not needed to look for a sleep mode. There is some system documentation stored on the memory of the device, and I'm sure the website referenced in the documentation that came with the player should either have that information or a Q&A option.

Why wouldn't you want it to turn off? I will turn on as needed to record you send show. We have several shows taped at different times. I just turns on when needed to record. I suppose you could just leave your recorder on if you choose.

Yes. I have my system set to motion detection so that it doesn't record all the time. Be sure to check the recordings periodically so that the memory/hard drive doesn't fill up too quickly.

No the machine cannot record if it is turned off..but you can lower the volume enough so it can't be heard..hope this helps...

From what you say once program is scheduled you have to leave the DVR turned on. I found this to be true also. If someone knows a way of turing it off after scheduling I would like to know as well.

You do not connect it to the computer for recording. The recording feature works by storing the data from the night inside the device. In the morning, you connect to a laptop or desktop computer and upload the data. Unfortunately, the software only works with a Windows-based computer. This is a big problem for a lot of people. I have to use my work laptop since all of my computers at home are Macs. I do not believe it will work with any iOS device like an iPad.

I actually do not know. Mine records all the time when power applied. I have it set to record for 3 minutes and then start over for another 3 minute clip. Check your settings and the micro chip you installed. Is it still powered up when it stops recording? You could also have a malfunctioning unit.

It isn't. You must turn the switch from "off" to "on" and wait about ten seconds for the actual recording to start. The drive will show it's started recording when it glows blue.

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software.Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night.Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

If you hold the pause/hold button too long, it powers off. I will not pick up where you left off when recording or playing.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.

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.

Yes if turned off it will no longer loop. You have to make sure you have a time set or it will fill up and stop recording.
