Instant On? Can I leave this in a "Standby Mode" for days at a time and have it instantly start recording (without having to wait a few seconds)?

You want a voice activated record mode which is common on the more advanced devices. I have owned several other types but this kind is mostly for dictation and meetings. The long wait time will run the batteries down and the quality of the recording may not be as you expected, so I do not recommend this unit for a standby type of usage.

Am I understanding that you want to glue the Record button down, to effectually just thePower button to start recording.Short answer maybe not. I have these units and It seems that recording either starts or stopsOnce you release the button.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

You can turn sound recording on or off permanently in the recording settings. There is no way to turn it off temporary. I.e. to turn sound recording on or off you have to get into camera settings menu (not a big deal though).

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.

I don't know, quite what you mean...but, as long as its plugged in...its on standby, until you push power button and the tv starts...while in standby, I can still record things on my PVR/DVR..we just pull the plug out/turn off the powerpoint - during bad storms....when its on standby, it uses only a little bit of power...but, ive had the tv on from 6am - 11.30pm on the same channel, watching tv shows and sport..always on, until I press the power button to turn it off...hope this answer helps..

I haven't recorded any longer than about 3.5 hours at a time, but that length was no problem for the battery. You'll want to put your phone in airplane mode though and turn off wifi, blue tooth, etc. so that iXY gets full resources and optimum battery usage. It sucks when the recording stops because the system was interrupted by something, and there's no indication from the app, it just cuts off in that case as if you had hit stop.

Yes, it powers on and begins recording when the record button is held down for a few seconds.

yes, it can only record for 10 minutes at a time, it's in the manual. So you have to break it up into 10 minute segments.

Hello, it sounds like the unit has accidentally been set with the "Screen Saver" mode on. TO FIX:- With the unit on, but not recording, click on the MENU button two times (you should see the little wrench highlighted at the top)- Use the down arrow button to go down until you see "Screen Saver", click on the "RECORD" button to select Screen Saver.- Use the up or down arrows to go to the "OFF" selection and click on the "RECORD" button. (this is where it may have previously been set to 3 minutes)- Now click on the MENU button again to exit.The screen should no longer shut off while recording and with power.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

Unlock..... Unlock will turn the system on in standby mode, then press unlock again to begin recording.

Every time you turn it on. Now if you just pause or stop recording then start up again, there is no warning.

Yes you can set it at 2 or 10 seconds. There is also about a one second delay when recording video. This may just be the camera or a built in self timer to not record your hands.

Yes, the XA-10 creates a new file automatically each time a new recording is made. If you want to record a long event greater than 45 minutes, or so, you will need to use (1) line power from the supplied ac/dc adapter, or (2) have additional battery packs. Finally, you can set the timer on the camera to START recording but you will have to manually stop the recording. As an aside I use the camera to film my band playing and it has recorded flawlessly for 1.5 hours on the supllied lithium battery.
