To get it to work(upload) on the computer it must be plugged in and set to record so I doubt it would but haven't really tried.

no you can't record on device itself but you can download program called Dorgem and it will record pictures in time intervals as you like it..every 3 seconds or more and it's activated by movement.I am sure there is another programs wich can record videos from the camera

Unfortunately no but you can charge it using the usb cable thats lodged in the strap. This works well but you can't charge while you're recording it simply will not allow you to. I bought a wasabi charger on amazon and it work fine.

I use mine as a car dash cam so it is always plugged in a charging whenever the engine comes on. This camera has a car mode and will start and stop recording when it senses power.

I don't believe so. The camera has only one output- the USB thumb drive. Any real time capture from that would likely cost many times the value of the camera.

If you can record photos from a digital cam via the usb input can you also rec ..say a slideshow running on a laptop?

Unfortunately video recording cannot be performed while plugged into an AC/USB charger. There is very little info in the owner's manual and it has no info about recording while being charged. I've tried to record while having it plugged into the charger with no success (The On/Off and Mode buttons doesn't respond). But you can use it as a PC webcam and using a third party video capture software; you can video record in that way with only a VGA resolution of 640×480 pixels.

Unless you have the camera charging simultaneously, I would say no...based on the fact that the battery has barely lasted 3 hours recording intermittently.

Should run off internal battery. Should be able to charge via USB / cigarette charger. Records to memory still.

Yes, the camera functions normally while plugged in. I'm pretty sure it actually charges the battery even while recording.

No, the DVR does not record while being charged and vice versa. If you attempt to charge it as it is recording it will still not charge. Nor does it loop the video recording once the SD card is full.

I just got this camera today (and asked a similar question). You can view pictures and videos you have taken while connected to a power pack, but you can not take a photo or video while the USB cable is inserted.

I haven't tried that, or been in a situation where I've had to use that setup. Once you connect the camera via USB (there's a USB cable that is VERY short built into the camera and another usb connection next to the HDMI connection on the camera) it places the device into USB mode, so it may very well not be able to record while it's connected to USB. You may only be able to transfer files while connected through USB. I hope this helps.....

When the camera is connected to a computer, it is recognized on both sides as an external storage device. When the camera is hooked to a (3rd party?) USB charger it is probably doing auto-shut down, etc and no longer recieving a charge-that would be my guess. I think it is possible to turn off the auto shut down/power save feature, it's worth a try

It will record while charging, and I am fairly certain it will not stream over the Internet if you are using a PC for charging. Currently it can't be used as a webcam. Looxcie's website is an excellent resource for any questions you may have.

With fully charged inbuilt battery you can record 20 - 30 mins of video. Its work on USB power. For a longer recording you need USB power on.

Yes, the Virb does record while charging. However, I have not tested this out with a cigarette adapter, but I do not think that would be an issue.
