When the card is full, does the camera hv a looping option to erase oldest file &amp; 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.

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 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.

I've recorded video until the card filled up. Deleted it and did it again for several other events. Never had a problem. Works great!

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.

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

memory full is becoz the memory card's storage are taken up by those locked files. there is "unlock all " or "format" from the device, will release those spaces to record again. to have the sd card set to always loop recording mode, then you need to turn the g sensor off, parking mode off. Or adjust the sensitivity of g sensor and parking mode accordingly. thanks Marie

I do not know, but one would think it would stop recording. Nothing in the book so it is just something to test. I use a 32gb card, gets about 90% filled in a month. If there is no event to look back at, I just delete and start over again.

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.

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.

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

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

Yes, it will delete the oldest footage. It uses very little space to save video. I have mine set to only record on motion and have had the system running for a few weeks now, barely any storage taken up.

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 will copy over the oldest file. I only pull the card out every 3 or 4 months to make sure it is still working since they do go bad. I have another dash cam that also copies over oldest file, so I am thinking most if not all work the same way.

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
