Can you record video while charging the battery?

I have never had a reason to try to record when charging. Short answer is "I don't know". I could be wrong, but I don't think it will. But then again I have had no reason to try it.

Yes you can. I just tried doing that and I was able to record video and take a photo while I was plugged into USB port.

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.

Yes. You can choose to record it while you view it or just view it. Works very well.

Hi Herb, Unfortunately the MQ300 can not record while being plugged in. It does however feature a 25 day standby to conserve battery life when not in use.

You will need a memory card to record videos. You can either connect the camera to the USB port on a computer using the battery charger cord that comes with the camera, that cord is also a detachable USB cord, or you can take the memory card (SD card) out the camera and put it in your phone to view footage or to save.

Nothing! The camera is self contained and all you need to do is to make sure it's fully charged. To watch the recorded videos, you need to plug in the USB cable to your PC. That's it.

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.

Yes this is normal. Like all portable electronics, battery life depends on applications, and video recording consumes battery faster than some other functions such as radio or audio playback. The battery pack is used as a backup. For best results, please always connect the camera to its wall charger (with USB cord). Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks.

Yes, I've plugged this camera on my dashboard and recorded while charging. I don't think it can record while plugged to your computer though.

Yes, you can you leave it plugged in for charging and playback at same time.No separate charger for battery, just a mini usb charger for the unit

I recently recorded a video of a 45 minute hike in AZ. I recorded other videos that day also and did not run out of battery. It was fully charged when I started.
