Will it record longer than 5 minutes after motion detection, if needed, or does it just shut off?

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.

Yes, it will loop for another 5 minutes....every 5 minutes, I had the wind blowing my blinds open so it kept recording every 5 minutes.

No, there is not a motion detect mode. The record button must be pressed on either the camera or the app. Also the camera will automatically power off after 5 mins on standby.

There is an option in the setup menu for Motion Detection (on/off). I leave mine off so it always records when power is on. I haven't tried the "on" setting. Note that I have 2 of these devices. I liked the first so much I bought a 2nd one for my wife's car. The 2nd one was defective and I had to return it to the vendor. Their support was horrible and their shipping time was over 7 days. The problem was resolved, but communication with the vendor was unbelievably bad.

I haven't recorded any longer than about 3.5 hours at a time, but that length was no problem for the battery. You'll want to put your phone in airplane mode though and turn off wifi, blue tooth, etc. so that iXY gets full resources and optimum battery usage. It sucks when the recording stops because the system was interrupted by something, and there's no indication from the app, it just cuts off in that case as if you had hit stop.

It can't be set to only turn on by motion it is always on, but your recorder can be set to only record from camera when motion is detected. That is all controlled by your recorder though and not the camera.

these record in 30 minute segments.....at 29 minutes turn it off then on again and it will continue for 30 more minutes

We have two cameras set to the motion sensing and do not record while the other six are recording. I didn't find anything in the manual (you can find this on line) on this but our security company installer did this for us.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

It seems that you did not disable the motion detector function. I have 2 of these K6000 style cameras that came from different sellers and manufacturers. They are both great cameras. I have them set for 3 or 5 minute files and there is no gap between files because the files record 2 seconds longer. It could be that a new file starts recording 2 seconds before the current file ends. Just a guess but I merged files together and the music did not miss a note and the clock did not miss a second, however you may hear a slight "blip" in the sound at the splice. If your 12vdc power outlet is controlled by the ignition switch you can leave the camera plugged in and the camera will start recording automatically as soon as it gets power. When the power is disconnected the current file will be saved by the internal battery before the camera shuts down.

I believe that the motion sensor will activate the light without having to record, the record function has a separate on/off switch.This unit does require hard wiring, it does not run on batteries.

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

it resets after 20 seconds.then it will go of again if it still detects motion.

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.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

It depends on the format and resolution you want to record at. It also depends on whether you set it at motion detection or continuous record. If its on motion detection record then it depends on how busy the area to record is. A camera set on high resolution to record continuously might last a day or two, but on motion detection it should last a week or more depending on how busy the area is.

I think it will video until either memory or battery runs out. I have made 3 - 4 min videos. These were long enough for my purposes.
