what is the device you recommend to take very long video

[brannsiu]

Maybe a continuous of 5 to 10 hours video. Mobile phone may have overheat concern and I need to use the phone for other purposes, it might also have not enough capacity.... What device do you recommend specially for taking video of long time? High quality video is appreciated, but price first.
Please recommend something, I am not familiar with video area.

What is this a video of? What will you use it for?

Obviously this will need to be plugged in somewhere. You can't do 10 hours of video on any battery smaller than a car battery.

Why is a tablet or small laptop not a consideration?

A good webcam? This is on the higher end but will do high quality video. It would need to be connected to a computer or laptop.

For surveillance, something that will only record when it detects movement will cut down on storage need and save the human from staring static pictures.

A webcam needs to be plugged somewhere, it's not a standalone device.

Although a pocket computer like Raspberry Pi, with properly sized battery pack, could do the job (there are even RPi-compatible cameras, notching fancy).

I literally quantified that in the part of my post you didn't quote. Also the OP didn't specify they needed a stand alone device.

A Google Pixel 3 or iPhone XS or Samsung S10 5G would be your best bet.

If looking for something affordable, then Google Pixel 2 XL or Oneplus 6T will be great.

All have extraordinary cameras and 128 GB variant which should be adequate for most people.

5+ hours of video is honestly too much for any smartphone but if quality matters to you, you wouldn't consider anything else. If needed, you can always carry a powerbank with you. They are available up to 26,800 mAh capacity that can charge an iPhone xs 7 times.

Your best bet is to find a camera that supports long term timelapse.

A purposly built camera exists into the DVR-NVR cctv category. Some are cheap, some are expensive, IP cameras which you can monitor from the web from everyhere, with activated on movement, IR cameras.. etc

Why bother diy-ing with a phone or something to interact with storage, to activate on movement, maybe even make some rollback of the space to continue recording by erasing older video when it is already done on the market and looks afordable?

Shop around for a NVR if that is what you want.
