How Long Can a Dash Cam Record?

The duration of footage saved by a dash cam primarily depends on the memory capacity of the device. Current dash cams use loop recording, which automatically overwrites old footage. For 1080P video quality, the recording time is approximately half an hour for 2GB, one hour for 4GB, two hours for 8GB, four hours for 16GB, and eight hours for 32GB. Recorded videos are stored in the memory card in segments of a certain duration. When the memory card is full, the oldest footage will be overwritten by new recordings. Precautions for Using a Dash Cam: The camera's shooting angle should be as wide as possible to comprehensively record the surroundings of the vehicle. However, avoid an overly exaggerated lens angle to prevent distorted footage. The dash cam should have good video clarity and some night recording capability. Video quality is determined by the dash cam's main control chip. Additionally, choose a well-hidden installation location to reduce the risk of theft through window smashing.
