When the card is full, does the camera hv a looping option to erase oldest file & continue recording? If yes, is this a manual or auto feature? Thanx.

It will loop around to the beginning. It is auto--I didn't see any info about changing it so there are no options. I did read that when the G sensor detects an impact that the device will save that file and will prevent it from being erased.

Sorry for the delay. Yes it automatically overwrites previous images. I have a habit of manually formatting the micro disk because of a previous unit I had often failed. Other than an odd instance or two, nothing major to report wrong with this unit.

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

Hi! I haven't filled up the32gb card yet. But from what I understand it does have a looping option that is auto. I could be wrong. One more thing. After 4days of use, the back camera is now not working....The front camera is fine. I'm a little bummed that the back camera broke/failed so fas. 4 days and it's not working anymore.

It is a auto feature. I have a 32gb card in it which records about 16 hours when the sd card gets full it automatically starts recording over the old files. Nothing manual at all.

HiOur units record continuously but in segments, until SD card is full the loops to record over what was previously recorded. Thank you Darren Brock

ojocam says 32GB max and use no higher than class 6. I am using a 16GB class 4 and set it to loop and it will keep recording when card fills up. Will erase oldest file.

get the manual; I think it will loop, erase oldest and record indefinitely, don't really know though.

I don't remember already all options.. the main idea of recording with loops is to keep files rotating. The oldest file in case there will be no more space to write new one should be deleted.. Files should be orginized somehow and have appropriate chosen lenght of time.. "2 minutes" setting means that their max time will be 2 minutes each.. Shorter lenght - smaller each file size. I don't know what does it mean "off".. CAn only guess that you will write the only file (memory card size is the limitation), without rewriting (looping) old information.

hello, as far as the memory card goes, it stops recording when full. with a 32gig card, I got about 5 hours of recording time. I just erase the card once a week on my laptop. when the card gets full it tells you. the menu is quite tempermental as formatting the card while in the dashcam is a pain.

Ok, someone will probably give a better answer than me, but, assuming I understand the question: Camera can be set for either circular recording or not. Circular means it will record until the memory card is full, then start overwriting the files from the beginning. If Circular is "off", it will just fill up the memory card and stop. HOWEVER, it doesn't just record "one big file". It records 10, 15, or 20 minute files (user selectable), one after another. So, say you have it running continuous, 15 minute file size. It will record a 15 minute file, then immediately record another 15 minute file, and so on. Depending on resolution and memory card size, you will end up with dozens (or potentially hundreds) of sequential 10 to 20 minute long video files. Actually really handy, just find the one that has the information you want on it, rename it and save it. Easy peasy. It will keep recording files until the memory card is full (up to 64 hours continuous on a 64 gig card, depending on resolution, etc), then it will start recording over the oldest files. Does that make sense? It is a cool little videocam, and it can be configured pretty extensively. Hope that helps.

Yes. It overwrites earlier recordings when it gets full. Best thing to do to avoid that is to get a larger card. It comes standard w a 1g card.

No, it is false. The camera deletes the older file and starts recording in that new space. I have proved it with a 32gb it works good.

It's up to you. You can set it so it stops recording when full or you can set it to overwrite.

Yes it records in a loop mode-the oldest file in the memory card is overwritten.

The camera keeps recording five minutes intervals and when is full it automatically starts deleting the oldest ones and replacing them with new ones. So it's infinite loop. My camera is use in truck and is running weekly five days nonstop without any problem.

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

It will record until the card is full. Once the card fills up it starts to record over and delete the oldest segments. The amount of space each 3 minute segment depends on the video quality and audio setting being turned on or off.

Every time you start the engine, the video starts on new session or file. If you continue driving for say one hour, it will create new file every few minutes. Depend on size of the USB thumb drive, e.g. if yours is 20GB, then it will accumulate many files for many hours, and I think when all 20GB is filled then it will start writing over the oldest file automatically. My 20GB thumb drive is not full yet because I often remove my dashboard camera to avoid exposing to southern CA sun light and heat and forgot to mount it back. Other customers maybe able to confirm this. Kenny

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

Plugged into the lighter it will record continuously. If the SD card gets full it just loops around and starts recording over the oldest files
