What Does Loop Recording Mean for Dash Cams?

[SawyerDella]

Loop recording for dash cams refers to the continuous video recording function of the device. Currently, dash cams are equipped with memory cards, typically ranging in capacity from 4GB to 32GB. During loop recording, the memory card's capacity is continuously occupied. When the memory card is full, the loop recording function will automatically delete the oldest recorded videos to free up space. Below are detailed explanations about dash cam loop recording: 1. Loop recording time options: Common settings include 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. After each segment is recorded, the device moves on to the next. 2. Optimal recording time setting: It's advisable not to set the time too short or too long. If the recording time is too short, the video will be split into too many segments, increasing the chance of frame loss. Conversely, if the time is too long, fewer videos will be stored, and they will be overwritten quickly. The recommended settings are 3 or 5 minutes for optimal performance.
