How many hours can a 16GB dash cam record?
1 Answers
The total recording time of a dash cam is related to the storage capacity of the memory card and the video resolution. A 16GB memory card can record approximately 2.5-3 hours at 1080P and 5-6 hours at 720P. Functions of a dash cam: Preventing fraud: Nowadays, fraud incidents are countless. Many car owners install dash cams in their vehicles to avoid unnecessary losses. When encountering malicious fraud, the footage recorded by the dash cam can serve as strong evidence. Insurance claims for traffic accidents: When a traffic accident occurs, the video information from the dash cam can be used as an important basis for determining liability. Moreover, in subsequent insurance claims, the recorded footage can prevent insurance companies from refusing to pay. Recording driving life: For friends who frequently travel by car, the dash cam can not only serve as a driving navigation tool but also act as a life camera DV, recording the scenery along the way and preserving it permanently. Settings of a dash cam: Recording sound: The dash cam can record sounds inside the car while recording video. Loop recording: Most dash cams offer three time options: 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes, dividing the video into segments of different durations for storage. Motion detection: The dash cam's motion detection setting automatically starts recording when there is movement in the frame, usually with a delay of 2 to 5 seconds. It is not recommended to enable this during driving due to sensitivity and algorithm issues, which may cause extensive frame loss. G-sensor: The dash cam has four options: high, medium, low, and off. It is generally set to medium or high to avoid detection during sudden braking or can be turned off and manually saved when a collision occurs.
