Do the lights only turn on when the camera is filming?

No. The lights will work any time you turn them on. The switch is on the cord.... Sneaky place for it but follow the cord and you will find it. It does need to be plugged into the computer for it to power the lights though.

There is a backup camera line. You run a video line from your camera to the camera line in. Also has a camera sense line to hook to reverse lights so camera is automatically turned on and off.

not to my knowledge, I think it is just either on or off.....great little camera and takes decent quality videos

It has two small LEDs on top of the unit when it is recording, IIRC. One might flash. Easily covered with tape to hide them. I returned mine because the battery mode was useless and quality poor, but probably reasonable for the cost.

No. if you run constant power to the camera I heard from several other people it will fry or melt it. So I just tapped mine into the reverse light wire and grounded it so that way there is only power ran to it when it's in reverse. Now, I do have a different one I hooked up to my tail lights on my truck. So that way whenever I would turn my headlights on then the camera would have power and I could use it at anytime. But however it only lasted for 2 years and I truly believe it was because I was running power to it to much but it was nice turning it on at any time. I am sure you could run constant power to a toggle switch and then run that to your camera. So that way you can turn on and off whenever you would want to use it.

No. Although the camera is very capable at low lights, its capability is limited to slow moving subjects because the camera's sutter speed slows down to compensate with low lights.

It does have an led light that can be set to turn automaticly or manually but its only effective for a distance of six feet or less when recording at hi def (1080P). Havn't tried it on other settings.

Yes, it does when the camera is turned on and in record mode. Works very well.

They are just lights. What camera you use does not matter. They do need to be plugged into an outlet.

There is a small LED on the top of the box. It lights green when you first turn it on, then shuts off (to confirm it is activated). Thereafter, it stays off while recording. It lights amber when you press the button to cease recording.

THere is a led which illuminates when pushed, but does not stay on. The camera chirps once for starting recording and twice for stop and makes a shutter sound when snapping a pic with the remote. I hope that helps. I have never had the remote not work very responsive.

Nope, only by unplugging it or it shuts off when the computer is completely off. Other than that the lights are always on since there's no real software with it

No it does not.... there is a sensor and when it gets dark it turns on automatically. They work great!

Yes, this is an IR camera, which will turn on the IR lights in complete darkness.

No. There is a light sensor that controls the on/off of the light. That being said the sensor could be covered with something like black tape to trick the light to come on. A.

Not from the camera, you would need to use a separate timer controlling the power 120Volts external to the camera programed to turn on and off.
