The description says, "stop recording when memory card full." Is this true, or does it overwrite the oldest file like other dash cams?

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.

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.

I am having a problem with 32GB class 10 card, where it just stops recording. Also I was only getting a few days of use. Having to clear files every other day is not acceptable. So I switched to 16GB class 4 card and it seems to have worked. I have just started using it, but it is recording 6 days and counting... so I hope that fixed it. If not I am selling this one. I do enjoy having a camera in the car. This one does a good job except for this possible issue. However If I upgrade I will get one with front and rear camera.... you can get hit from the rear just as easy from the rear. However this was a low cost effective device worth trying.

Unclear question really. This is a great camera, especially for the price. Excellent resolution. The screen moves in junction with the holder to every position. The reference to quit working below, was just because the memory card got full and did not start to record over. I just erased the card and it hasn't quit yet. I plan on buyiong more for my other vehicles.

No, when the card is full it stops recording. A "Memory is full" message appears on the screen. I also bought a 32g card.

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

It will record over once the card is full. 16 gigs is plenty. Don't worry about the card running out of room.

There is a menu option to have the system overwrite old data automatically. I use a 16GB card and my unit records a continuous loop of a little over the last 48-hours.

The 32gb card will last about 5-6 hours before it gets overwritten. The loop setting of 1/3/5 mins decides the size of the recorded file. Thanks.

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

No, once the memory card is full it stops recording. But also it is battery operated so even if it could eventually the battery would die.

Is yours only recording a single 3 minute clip/frame/segment or a number of them? Check your settings. I have mine set for 5 minute frames/segments etc. It records continuously for several hours (32GB) but when I down load the card the entire recording is appears in 5 minute segments. Makes it easier to find a spot in the journey. ??????

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.

I find it amazing that you are able to use a 32GB much less a 64GB. I'm using a Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter (SDC4/16GBET) that was sold a a bundle and have no problems with the card. The dash cam is ummmm. Hmmmm. You get what you pay for. Don't upgrade the card. Upgrade the camera and card or it won't be worth your money. Put the videos on your PC and format the card FAT32 after.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

If you turn off the loop, the camera would stop recording once the micro sd card is the full. The reason that the camera does short video clips is because, once the camera is full, the camera delete the oldest video clip first, then 'overwrite' the video. This is the reason that the camera only creates short video clips. Hope the info helps. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach us.

Everyone it tells me that its full i always refirmat card. takes less than 20 second to format and I'm making sure its recorded properly. If i wad u i would firmat it once a week if u get alot of recording. Tried it b4 and it didn't record over anyway. Told me it e was full and i reformatted its simple and if u really need the video then just grab the card and recorded into ur pc, just put the card into the pc, make a folder and copy over. Great camera though. Hoe that helps
