What is the reason why the dash cam cannot record in a loop?
2 Answers
The dash cam cannot record in a loop because the memory card in the dash cam is full or there is no memory card inserted. The following is a partial introduction about dash cams: 1. Composition: The basic components include a host, a vehicle speed sensor, and data analysis software. 2. Functions: Self-check function, identity recognition function, recording and storage of driving time, speed, and mileage, overspeed alarm and recording function, overtime driving (fatigue driving) alarm and recording function, data communication function, video image storage function, suspicious point recording and analysis function, management software provides a good human-machine interface to realize vehicle information input, driver file input, modification, query statistics, and report printing function.
When troubleshooting dash cam issues, I found that the most common reason for the failure of loop recording is improper memory card management or incorrect settings. Sometimes, car owners forget to enable the loop mode, or the card is full without automatic overwriting, possibly due to too many files or protected files occupying space. Another issue could be the wrong card format, such as not being FAT32, which prevents the system from recognizing the overwrite operation. Once, I encountered a situation where the dash cam stopped working, and upon checking, I found that the card was too slow, causing stuttering during recording and leading to overwrite failure. To resolve this, promptly check the loop recording option in the settings to ensure it's enabled, and monitor the remaining card capacity. If the problem persists, try formatting the memory card or replacing it with a new high-speed card. It's a good practice to clear the card contents quarterly to ensure smooth operation of the dash cam.
