is dashcam always recording?

[doubledrat]

sorry for the basic question, I've only had MY for 4 days. I can only see a few recordings on my dashcam, but I was hoping it recorded all the time so that e.g. if I got accused of something I could go back and use the footage as evidence.

I know it will save if it detects a collision or if I hit the horn, but what about at other times?

Sorry, found the answer in another thread but can't work out how to delete this one!

It constantly records but will ultimately overwrite the oldest recording based on the size of your USB / SSD Device unless you save the clip by honking the horn or Sentry recording an Event.

@GeorgeSymonds may be able to delete if asked nicely

that's interesting. the other thread I found said it only keeps 1 hour of recordings. Do you see much more than that? and do you see it from the touchscreen or do you have to put the USB in a computer to see the rest?

Yeah it doesn't matter how big your SSD is, it'll only ever record an hour in a loop.

Rather than delete as requested, I've locked this thread and it will slowly disappear down the list.

I'm not sure what other thread people are referring to, but if there's a discussion to be had, maybe carry it on over there
