Just want to confirm that is has a memory overwrite feature - when the SD card is full, it deletes previous video and starts recording new video?

We believe it does, however allow us to double check with the tech dept. as soon as we open for business on Monday (closed on weekends). I will reply with a definite answer on Monday asap. Thank you, Steve Ortiz Sleuth Electronics LLC

I don't think so; but never have that experience because as the memory (either internal or of SD card) is approaching the full capacity, a warning (of how much recording time left) is showed on screen, in form of "seconds".

I'm using a 32gb microsd (tf) card, to be honest it is very hard to tell because it's a blackbox. When it "fills up" it continuously records, overwriting the earlier videos, so I just have it recording for the last few months without any issues.

No real need to do that. If you set the timer to 10 mins. it will just record in successive 10 min increments until the SD card is full at which time it will be to erase segments, oldest first and re record over them.

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

In the REC. Setting menu you can set it to overwrite mode so when the memory card is full it will overwrite the oldest data, or not, and it will stop when the card is full.

Yes and 3 min segments are suggested. The camera will created a new video every 3:01 (One second of overlap) and erase the oldest video file and start over when card becomes full.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

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.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

no, it creates a new video file for every block, it will just tell you memory full when you run out of memory it will not delete anything.

Yes, it WILL overwrite old data when the SD card becomes full. Additionally, it will resume recording when power is lost and resumes.

Yes, the camera records 3 minute segments until the card is full and then starts overwriting the oldest segment. If you camera is hit with a strong jolt, such as in and accident, it will save the segment. I use 16 or 32 gb cards and carry an extra, just in case I have something I want to save.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

Yes, this camera loops the video recording so that if the memory card is full, the oldest video is deleted and overwritten. I like that it saves the video in 2-minute segments (although there might be an option to make it longer than that). Larger video segments take longer to download or open in a video editor. Also, if something happens and you want to prevent that 2-minute segment from being deleted, there is a 'lock' button which will prevent that segment from being deleted.

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

Gary, I'm really not sure, but I don't think it does. I am using a 32 gig as well and I just checked my card today and it showed 99% full. But I could not really tell if it had try to overwrite the existing files. Not much help I'm afraid.
