- Screenshot capture from Mobius software
Thanks 2000rpm. What exact camera is that from?
- some cameras will stop at the file size limitation,
- some will continue but with a bit of a pause
Thanks Jokiin. Can you be specific as to a make and model that will continue after a bit of a pause?
- you can easily get over 8 hours recording before
- looping begins
Thanks SawMaster, but that's not good enough. I want zero possibility of looping, therefore, it has to be disabled altogether.
- sometimes a work-around is the only way to get what you want
Indeed. I'll hunt pretty far and wide before I give up, though.
Back to "I think he wants an action cam" - Who cares whether I think of it as an 'action' cam, or a 'vacation' cam, or a 'prevent an insurance scam' cam? Who is *anyone* to tell me that, just because it mounts above the dash, I have to use it according to the latter, and if I refuse, well, I just don't deserve a stable mount and a hardwired power supply? Does the fact that a camera is called a "dash" cam really change anything? Say I want to record a long day's tour through the Grand Canyon neighborhood, taken from the view of my windshield. Am I a second class citizen, subject to asinine and senseless restrictions, just because I don't intend to use the video as legal protection? No hardwire and no auto-restart segments, unless you intend to use your video in court. This is absolutely mind boggling.
So am I in the wrong forum, seriously? Maybe I do need to turn my attention toward an 'action' cam. I bought a little handheld cam a few years back that only took its own proprietary battery. I had occasion to go over the Black Bear Road and knew that a half dozen of those slim flat little $30 batteries would not be enough, so I took it back for a different model that takes AA batteries. That's the one I still use today. I pack a couple dozen spare batteries, always kept at a full charge. I can go all day. The only beef I have with this cam is the resolution.
