Why is red light on not recording

Common sense will tell you the red light is a low battery and unit will not record change the batteries!

It's telling you that the batteries are too low. It eats up batteries so I got some good rechargable ones and now no worries. If you can afford it get 16 so you can have a set charging while using a the other.

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.

Yes when it is recording, it has RED DOT next to the video icon blinking, when you set sensor at low or high may not record at night, I suggest , set to off sensor ,it will record all the time ,and it will stop record and it turn off when you stop engine and pull the key out .But you need 32 GB TF card,

I'm not using it now as I moved to another place recently. But I don't think I heard anything while it was on. At least I didn't notice any noise. While it's on, the red light is on.

The light only flashes when you press the button. To start or stop recording.

If the light is turning red check the sensor. If ita not turning on at all, it could be a circuit issue.

Do you mean the monitor is connected to you backup lights? It could be that there is a surge of power upon ignition that is tripping however you have monitor power wired--but the surge isnt making it to the backup camera--and the display shows no signal because the camera isnt powered/relaying video

This is the Camcorder function. You can toggle between Camcorder and Camera. When I use the camcorder and record the red dot is in the top left with the elapsed time next to it. Bottom center of screen shows a pause button. When you press the center "OK" button the pause icon on the bottm changes to the Square with a red dot (I think this is a "record button") and the red dot on the top left changes to a red flashing pause icon. Somehow you are immediately going into "Pause" mode. To continue recording press the "OK" button.

I just got one and it does not record sound either....and the infra red sucks.....night vision ...also radio does not work nor does playing music off the connector. I am returning mine.

I'm not sure. I have never been able to find a setting that would turn it on during video recording and now we don't use it more than once a year so the battery is dead. It would make sense that there should be a setting that would let you turn on the light during video; maybe the company's website has the user manual PDF download...? Good luck

Mine must be newer. After fiddling with it for a while, I discovered that the red light is the reset button, and you have to push it with a pen or something and hold it down for a few seconds until it starts to flash then release it.

There is a small recording light on the side (not on the front) when it is recording. It can be covered with a small piece of tape.

Set the LCD option to on to keep unit from turning off. It is still recording, just no display when off.

So long as it's plugged in to charge, the red light will be on. I'd just give it a go. Mine's awesome.

The red light should not be on. Check to see that the filter is in properly or read the owner's manual.

Mine has RED indicator lights also. I haven't used it often but it seems to work fine.
