The segments add to the journey until limited by the sd card capacity. No, it won’t record on a single segment. The file would be too large for any practical purpose.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Sun, I'm afraid not, the cam will only record in 1, 2 or 3 minute segments. It will record these segments consecutively until the SD card is full, then the oldest piece of footage will be deleted and the newest will be saved in it's place. This will continue looping and is called Continuous Overwriting. The Dash Cam does this automatically to allow for more footage to be recorded and the old, unnecessary footage to be deleted without manual intervention. However Protected Files are not overwritten in the same way as normal files. If you do not format regularly, these files can build up and reduce the capacity of storage available for normal footage. It is essential to format every two weeks to delete any protected files and clear the card ready for continued usage. If the cam were to record one continuous clip, then once the SD card was full, either the cam would not be able to record or the entire clip would be deleted. This would be unsuitable for dashcam use. If you have any further questions, please let us know to [email protected].
