Please see details on our website at http://oxigenator.com/products/camcarder/. We suggest that you connect your iPhone to a power, rather than using it on a battery. History feature allow you to keep up to 3 recorded clips (you can delete some to record others). Clips can be viewed in chronological order or by their locations on interactive map. When export clips to Camera Roll, only first 30 seconds are visible in a Lite version. If your phone receives an incoming call or you want to switch to another app, CamCarDer will save current clip and stop recording.
