How Long Can a Dash Cam Save Recordings?

[CooperLee]

The duration a dash cam can save recordings depends on the capacity of its memory card and the set video resolution, typically ranging from 3 days to about a week. Generally, the larger the memory capacity, the longer the storage time. Taking 1080P video quality as an example, a 16GB memory card can usually record for 100 minutes, a 32GB card for 200 minutes, and a 64GB card for 400 minutes. Currently, dash cams on the market record in a loop. The recorded videos are segmented into clips of certain durations, such as 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, and stored in the memory card. When the memory card is full, newly recorded videos will directly overwrite the oldest video clips, ensuring continuous recording without interruption due to insufficient storage space.
