What Are the Reasons Why a Dash Cam Is Not Recording?
1 Answers
A dash cam not recording videos may be due to the following situations: 1. Memory card issues: The memory card speed is insufficient or errors occur when storing video files. Try formatting the memory card or replacing it with a high-speed card. It is also recommended to restore the dash cam to its factory settings. 2. Motion detection is enabled: If motion detection is turned on, the dash cam will not record when the scene is static. Turn off this feature and try again. 3. G-sensor is enabled or sensitivity is too high: With the G-sensor enabled, the dash cam will automatically detect collisions and lock the video footage from that period, making it undeletable. If the sensitivity is too high, even a sudden brake can trigger it, resulting in many locked videos that fill up the storage space and prevent the dash cam from recording. You can choose to disable the G-sensor or lower its sensitivity. 4. Loop recording is not enabled: Loop recording divides videos into segments of a certain duration and stores them on the memory card. When the memory card is full, the oldest video segments are automatically deleted. If this feature is turned off, videos will not be deleted automatically and will continue to fill up the dash cam's storage, preventing it from recording. Enable loop recording and set the duration to 3 or 5 minutes.
