How to Set the Loop Mode for a Dash Cam?

Method to set the loop mode for a dash cam: In the "Settings" option of the dash cam, find "Loop Recording" and confirm. Under "Loop Recording," there will be setting options such as 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc., which refer to the duration of each video segment. Loop recording means that when the memory card is full, the earlier recordings will be automatically overwritten to achieve continuous recording. The loop recording duration should not be too long or too short; it is recommended to choose 2 to 3 minutes. Recording the entire drive as one segment not only occupies a large amount of memory, requiring frequent manual deletion to continue use, but also risks deleting important videos along with others. Loop recording effectively solves this issue by dividing a complete video into several small segments, which are automatically overwritten when the memory is full, starting with the oldest segments.
Setting up the loop mode for a dash cam is actually quite simple. I had to figure it out myself the first time too. First, turn on the dash cam, then press the menu button to enter the settings interface. Look for an option similar to 'Loop Recording' or 'Auto Overwrite' and enable it. Remember to set the video segment duration, such as 1 minute or 3 minutes, so the files won't be too large and will be easier to store. It's best to use a good-quality memory card with sufficient capacity to avoid stopping recording when it's full. If the dash cam has an app to connect to your phone, it's even easier—just select the settings directly on your phone. The advantage of loop mode is that you don't have to worry about the card filling up, and it continuously records important events, which is very practical for driving safety. New drivers are advised to regularly check if the settings are still active, just in case. In short, follow the instructions step by step, spend a few minutes setting it up, and you can drive with peace of mind.
