Has the camera ever locked up on you and stopped recording?

Only once. I cycled the power by removing and re-inserting the USB cable and it started recording normally. Internal settings are set for automatic recording when power USB cable inserted. Good current supply and good MicroSD chips are important.

Sure, when it runs out of power or storage space. It cannot really record for prolonged periods of time. It's a great camera for the money, weight, and space it barely takes up. It's great for an rc plane or wearing it on your cap. It is what it is. Mine died when I dunked it in the Hudson River by accident. Up to that point it's pretty indestructable.

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.

Not that I am aware of although I never researched it because it did not concern me. The camera does shut down on its own when not in use for a while Not sure if this really answers your question.. sorry

I have never had to record a shot that was non-stop so I dont know, but I would assume you would run out of storage space before the battery died. The battery life is quite impressive

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

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

As a matter fact it didn't. I was going to get intouch with you and kept forgetting. Can I still get it along with a manual for operating the camera. I have been try to firgure it out becuase I had another one like it.

Yes, but new file created each time. Pause left on too long camera goes off.

not that I know of...but I only use the device occasionally. I attach it to headphones and listen while it records though sometimes...

No. The battery is very weak, the camera shuts down in a few seconds when not connected to power.

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.

I had that problem once -- but it happened when my batteries were almost dead and the camera shut off on its own, and then began to overheat. I took out the batteries and haven't had that problem again.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

The user manual states: The camera will not stop recording when the card is full, but will deletethe oldest file and resume recording.

Sometimes if you "rush" the process, you will find that the camera action "freezes up." Try rebooting the camera by taking the battery out or plugging it in to your computer; anything that might trip or signal the mechanism. Don't push or force it, of course. If it locks-up often, then obviously, there are problems with the camera. I bought the insurance offered through Amazon, just for such circumstances.

Yes. Mine did. I didn't play with it enough to see if it would warn me before it over-recorded.

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.
