Why recording limit? Leave it in live view, no need to record. Or is the HDMI output not active then? I don't think this tax applies anymore.

  Live view turns itself off after a period of time. I believe with my Nikon it's 30min. For me, having to press the LV button twice an hour seemed more preferable than flashing the firmware.

    Can be disabled

      Live view auto shutoff can be disabled? No it can't[1], not without modified firmware that either doesn't exist[2] or is only available from sketchy mega uploads[3]. There are other[4] hacky workarounds, but nothing clean.

        You forgot to specify what camera you use. No need to extrapolate from your camera to all Nikons.
        • SECProto 4y ago
          I said "with my Nikon". You said definitively that it "can be disabled". Your statement was incorrect - you were the one extrapolating.
          • gsich 4y ago
            Yes, because you didn't mention any camera model.

  The webcam described in the article is so old, it has PAL/NTSC video out. Later generations switched to HDMI, but not all of them have a 'clean feed', so some information regarding exposure settings, battery level etc will remain in the picture.

  I believe that the tax law changed in the last few years. Most cameras in use today still have the limit, even though many new (especially higher end) models have unlimited recording.
