Here are the average recording storage times for an HD HERO2 camera with a 32GB SD card: 1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m. 960p (30 fps): 5h 26m. 720p (60 fps): 4h 21.
Memory Card Recording Time in Common High Definition Resolutions
| VDO Resolution | Memory Card Size | Recording Time |
|---|
| 4K 24-30fps (7.5MB/s) | 64GB | 2:22 Hours |
| 128GB | 4:44 Hours |
| 2.7K 48-60fps (7.5MB/s) | 16GB | 0:35 Hours |
| 32GB | 1:11 Hours |
If your card is too slow, the camera may stop recording as the card can't keep up with the output of data from the camera, regardless of your recording settings. Charge your camera. Make sure that you charge your camera using the recommended method, and allow the camera to completely charge.
The maximum “bitrate” of the Hero 7 Black is 78Mbps. Bitrate is how much storage a video stream will use per second. Based on that, a 128GB SD card can theoretically hold just under 3.75 hours of video.
A 64GB card can hold about 90 minutes of footage from the a7S II when shooting at 100Mbps (its highest bitrate). If the card fails, you stand to lose 90 minutes of footage. However, if you're shooting with a 128GB card which can hold double the footage (about 180 minutes), you stand to lose a lot more.
Yes, in the new models of GoPro cameras you can use you can use 128GB, 256GB, 400GB, and 512GB microSD cards.

| 960p 50fps | 524 | 262 |
| 960p 50fps + Protune | 352 | 176 |
Re: GoPro stops recording after a few minutes
@tojejik - Freezing is most often related to a bad SD card or a card that can't write fast enough to store the data. After a short while, it gets so far behind that it locks up.Use a GoPro as Security Camera
Using a GoPro as a security camera is a simple, convenient and inexpensive way to monitor your home or different rooms in your home. Yes, there are dozens of dedicated security cameras or webcam monitors on the market that you can buy.Simply put, Looping video enables continuous video recording; overwriting the beginning of your video to allow for new footage to be captured, which can help to conserve space on your microSD card.
If you are using a GoPro as a dash cam then you'll need to turn on the looped recording feature and place the GoPro in a skeleton housing or mount. Unlike the waterproof housing, a skeleton housing allows you to power the camera while it's in use.
Unfortunately no model GoPro supports motion detection. However if you buy a cheap $30 webcam the software usually includes motion detection, there's also freeware apps for Windows that work with such webcams and also support motion detection. Remember, the GoPro is actually a sports action cam, not a security camera.
What is it? Simply put, loop record allows your camera to overwrite old files with new files. Once the memory card becomes full, the camera will delete the first video file to make room for the latest file.
Loop recording is the process of recording audio continuously to an endless tape (if magnetic tape is used) or to computer memory, or recording video feeds (such as from video surveillance or camera signals) on a video server.
So why do GoPros cut the video files up? By splitting up the video it reduces the chance of you losing all your footage if the file gets corrupted somehow. It's called chaptering, and the idea is that if one chapter gets corrupted the others should still be okay because they're separate files.
Since you are starting the recording without the camera in hand, are you using a Smart Remote? If so, the display on the remote will tell you if it's recording or not. If you are using voice commands, the beep when the camera starts recording should be audible.
If your GoPro begins recording as soon as you turn it on, you're probably starting it in QuikCapture mode. That's because many GoPros actually have two ways to turn the camera on. One simply powers the camera on. The other turns the camera and and immediately begins shooting.
The battery is good for about 70 minutes of recording time with the highest-quality settings. The 4K footage is saved at 100Mbps, so you'll fill up memory cards quickly. You can expect to get about 35 minutes on a 32GB memory card.
Answer. QuikCapture enables the ability to power on and record automatically with the press of a single button. NOTE: This feature is OFF by default (with the exception of the HERO Session / HERO4 Session, and HERO5 Session).

Second, check that your SD card is compatible with your camera. The list is at https://gopro.com/help/articles/Block/microSD-Card-Considerations. If the SD card can't keep up, it can cause the camera to stop recording.Answer
