How to Set Up Loop Recording for a Dash Cam?
2 Answers
Enter the settings menu of the dash cam, locate the loop recording option, and press the OK button to successfully configure it. Below is an introduction to dash cams: 1. Definition: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can capture the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. 2. Function: It safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of drivers. In situations where pedestrians crossing the road or cyclists and motorcyclists might collide with the vehicle and potentially lead to extortion attempts, the dash cam can provide the driver with valid evidence.
I always worry about encountering staged accidents when driving, so the loop recording feature on my dash cam must be set up properly. Open the dash cam settings menu and find the 'Recording Mode' or 'Loop Settings' option. Usually, you can choose video segments of 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. I generally go with 5 minutes—too short and the memory card wears out faster, too long and it’s hard to quickly find the critical footage. The key is to make sure the 'Loop Overwrite' function is turned on! This way, when the memory card is full, it will automatically overwrite the oldest recordings, so you don’t have to worry about suddenly running out of space. Also, remember to turn off the parking monitoring feature, or it’ll drain your car battery overnight. After setting it up, it’s best to drive around the block and check the playback to ensure it’s recording in segments correctly.
