Where is the memory card of the dash cam located?
2 Answers
The memory card of a dash cam is generally located on the left or right side of the device. Here are the specific details about the dash cam memory card: 1. Automatic overwrite or manual deletion when full: Dash cams have a loop recording feature. When the memory card is full, the dash cam will automatically overwrite the oldest unlocked recordings based on the recording time, eliminating the need for manual deletion to continue recording. However, if too many emergency videos are recorded (which are not overwritten), the memory card may become full over time, requiring manual deletion to continue use. 2. Installation method: To install the dash cam memory card, first locate the memory card slot, usually found on the side of the dash cam main unit. Insert the memory card into the slot, paying attention to the correct orientation.
I remember the memory card for the dash cam is usually inserted into the device itself, such as a small card slot on the side or bottom of the body, often marked with SD or TF. My first car was an entry-level sedan, and the card slot was easily visible near the windshield, making it convenient to pull out and replace the card at any time. Later, when I switched to an SUV with a more refined design, the card was hidden inside a flip cover on the rearview mirror bracket, a concealed location that prevents theft or heat damage. The position varies mainly depending on the car model and manufacturer's preference—domestic cars often expose it externally, while imported high-end models might integrate it into the wiring area under the dashboard. When replacing the card, it's essential to power off the device to avoid data loss, and it's recommended to use a high-quality MicroSD card to extend its lifespan. Regularly check if the card is loose after driving, as a full recording may stop and affect capturing critical moments.
