I don't think so, but if its in the cradle you can't see the viewing screen.

yes. after you start the recording, you press and hold the record button. this will turn off the screen. But once you turn off the screen, you cannot stop recording until you turn the screen back on. to turn the screen back on, you hold the record button down again

I don't think you can turn off the voice. I only hear it when it starts recording. Twice, on and start. Then once when it stops. If you hear it every two minutes than something is wrong. Mine does not do that. Turn off motion sensor. Record at 740 not 1080. Good luck

You have the option to turn the audio on or off. So, you can record video without audio.

According to the instructions, in the Menu there is an option for Audio Record - "On/Off". I have never used this option---I leave it in the default Audio mode (On).

Yes, you can turn off the screen while audio plays. Also, you can stream video to a compatible phone or tablet and keep the screen off as well.

Yes, it is (at least for me) always closed when recording, and I only open the display when I need to look through video for playback.

When you plug it in, it turns on and starts recording automaticaly. There is a button to pause recording if you want. When you unplug it, it turns off in a little while or you can just press the on/off button to turn it off manually

Yes you can. You have to hit the video record button on the back though. There is no record button on the screen.

You can turn the video off but when the baby starts crying it will light up. I have had to turn the face down when I don't need the video

There must be a way since it's always been across the top of my screen. Now I'm curious to see if I can turn it off.

Does this turn off after a while of not recording if you want to use is as a webcam?

Yes, you can turn it on/off in the menu.I'd also recommend looking at the TCL SVC-200 which has a similar camera format but runs for 2 hours instead of the 80 mins of the SJ3000. Review here http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/11/10/svc200-is-the-best-100-action-camera-ive-found-so-far.html

You can turn the camera on and off. It takes both video and stills. Do NOT buy this one, it's a piece of crap, it will break easily. The gears are CHEAP PLASTIC, where the shaft goes thru center of gear, the screw that tightens on the shaft will strip on first crash.

Yes you can turn the video off and still use the sound. Then just hit a button to turn the video back if you need to. Great feature to help keep the room dark while sleeping. You can also control the volume and pan the camera from the video unit.

Yes however if you don't want have it record it you can disable that feature
