The recording LED turns off after a few seconds. You can purchase one here - spycentre.com/products/usb-power-bank-audio-recorder-with-voice-activation-150-day-standby
@J R - Detecting a voice would depend on the volume of the speaker compared to the TV. Proximity to the speaker or TV would also factor into the situation. Get as close as possible, or have two units to double your chances of capturing what you need. Thanks for the question!

How can i reset the time and date stamp?? I did it incorrectly and now the date and time of recording is way off which makes it very confusing. It says the recoding occurred on a different day. Thank you.
The product seems amazing, I'm definitely going to get it. I have a question; how long is the battery life if I set it to continuously record. You said that it is 150 days if set to stand by recording, but I would set it to continuous for my use. How long will the battery last?
I have very noisey neighbors that live above me, I'm in the process of reporting them, but I need proof to present to the Co-op Board of my apartment building. Would this be able to record loud stomping, and thuds through the ceiling?
@ Santosh Booth - If the noise is over 40db, then it should be able to. But if the noise is not over 40db, it will not capture it. Noise through walls can be difficult for any voice recorder to capture. The good news is we have a 30-day money-back guarantee on our audio products, so if you try it and it does not work, it can be sent back.
Thanks for response, I would need 2 USB ports to do this. I have a cable with one USB port and 1 PowerPoint So if you can't you plug it into the power and USB , It did work

You would need an OTG cable for an iPhone and VLC media player on your phone. Yes MacBook's are fine, you just cant set the date and time with the software that's included on the device because its Windows only, but you can still set the time for the recorder by using a text file on your Mac.

How can the MQ L500 be formatted so that when the files are transfered to a pc file, they retain their original recorded date rather than the date they were downloaded to your pc? Once the files are played, the original recorded date seems to disappear? Also, is there a way to find the original dates the files are actually recorded on?
From what you have explained, it sounds like the time and date were not set up or did not take hold when initially set up because if they were, it would bring over the original date and time of when the recording was made, and it should hold said time and date even after it has been played. There is software on them that allows you to set the time and date, but it only works for Windows computers. Mac users have to do it differently by setting up a plain text file with the date and time crafted in a particular fashion.

Have been using this recorder for months and it works well, started to notice recording errors and corrupted files while viewing files the other day and this morning months of audio has vanished. Your thought sir?
@ Jigga Man - I would always suggest to reach out to our support staff at 1.800.292.7748 with your order number, first and last name, and email available so we can better assist you, as some models of devices do change over time. However, in this instance, it sounds as if you may have left all the recorded files within the device's memory. As more data is recorded and deleted from the device, files still stored on the memory have a higher chance of corruption. It is recommended to always save important recordings elsewhere, like to a computer or another thumb drive. Thanks for the question! Please leave a like, and subscribe to our channel for future reviews and tutorials!
@TITANplayz - It does not, as Apple limits access with external storages. Recordings can be downloaded to an iTunes account on a computer and then synced to the iPhone, however. Thanks for the question!
Hi, so standby mode makes it last longer? And the audio will start and stop every time it picks up on audio? How loud does the sound have to be for the powerbank to re start the recording? and how long does there have to be silence for the powerbank to stop recording? If that makes sense. Thank you!
@ Michael Medvedev - Thanks for the great question. Yes, standby mode is a low power state that’ll extend the battery life when it does not hear a sound. 60db is about the sound level needed to trigger a recording, but the program for date and time stamping of the files allows you to adjust this up or down a couple points using a Windows computer. It generally takes less than a minute for a recording to stop after sound in the area stops. Please leave a like, and be sure to subscribe for future tutorial and review videos!

The battery life while recording continuously is 336 hours.
Is there a way to eliminate loud background noise, such as a muffler sound from the recording in order to hear the voices?
No, the device does not have software for that, you would need to get some software that can clean up back ground noises.
I have very noisey neighbors that live above me, I'm in the process of reporting them, but I need proof to present to the Co-op Board of my apartment building. Would this be able to record loud stomping, and thuds through the ceiling?
