if I record something for 3 hours then I stop it and on the next day I start recording again, will my three hours of recording be erased?

No, provided you have had it charged. It will continue from where it was stop.

No, it won't be erased. When you turn it on, it records until you stop and that creates one file. When you turn it on again it records a new WAV file. All the files stay on the recorder until you delete one or more of them using drag and drop into your Windows Recycle Bin.

It records continuously. You can set it to record in 2 min, 3 min , 5 min loops. For example, if you set it to the 3 min loop, after the third minute it will start all over again and record a new loop. I recommend getting a 32 mb sd card so that you can store a lot of footage in case you need it. After you exceed the space on the sd card, it will delete the older files. This device is great but it has terrible instructions. You have to play with the settings on your own to figure everything out.

I do not know, but one would think it would stop recording. Nothing in the book so it is just something to test. I use a 32gb card, gets about 90% filled in a month. If there is no event to look back at, I just delete and start over again.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

There are two recording session lengths 5 Min and 10 min. Default is 5 Min. So after the first 5 minute session it will close that file (#1) and start a new session file and close it after 5 minutes (#2 file) and so on. When 32 GB is reached -which is after about 9.5 hours- the camera will go back and write over the # 1 file, then #2 etc. So you can look back up to about 9.5 hours..

yes. but it really depends on how much you record.. I have some of my cameras record only when there is motion. that way i save space on the hardrive and recording times go up to 30-40 days back

Just 60 seconds and if one is not careful, you can erase the original recording. That happened with the bear I purchased for my dying niece to leave a message for her son. Lost and there is no going back. I would recommend recording on a more permanent device before giving it to a young child.

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.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

No. The first time you press the record button it starts recording. Press it again and it stops. When you press it again it starts a new file. When you play them back in the camera they will be strung together but when they are loaded into your computer they will be separate files and you will have to use software to make one continuous video.

It only holds one recording. Each time you record it erases the previous recording.

It does record in "blocks", or files about 1 - 5 minutes long (selectable). If you are editing these together with MovieMaker or some other software, they are supposed to edit seamlessly together. If you select the option, when the SD card fills up it is supposed to delete the oldest file as the new one starts to record. I have a 32Gb in mine and the cars these are in have not been driven enough to fill the card. I have it set to the highest resolution. It seems like you should get about 2 hours on a 32GB card. Hope this helps.

That shouldn't be a problem. The SD card that comes with recorder is only 4GB. I just bought a 16GB SD card and use the 16GB card instead. It can record up to 2 hours using the highest resolution.

no...once you stop the video, that video is over. You will start a new video when you begin to record again. Also, don't talk while taking the video, unless you want YOUR voice to be heard.

A full day's driving and then some, it will automatically erase oldest recording as long as it was NOT locked or recorded because of accident (G-sensor) then it remains until you unlock and erase. All can be done on the CDR via "clicker" or on computer.

It records as long as it detects motion and then for 5 minutes with no motion. After 5 minutes, if there is no motion, it will shut off until it again detects motion. But you can change the preset so the camera records continuously regardless of motion if you wish.

You can set the dvr to record at any time during the day or night or you can record 24/7 and put the dvr recording on a continual loop. To erase what you have already recorded, you just have to reformat the hard drive and start over with whatever setting you choose. Just go into settings then recording settings to accomplish this task.
