Dash cam !

It is saved in 5 mins segments, not in one single video file. So depending on your SD card size, it will overwite the last segment when the SD card is full. Right now I have a 8GB in there, it will save up to about 3 hours.

The last camera I tried recorded in segments too, but it would always start at the beginning of the card. This made it impossible to save a video without removing the card. This camera doesn't have this flaw?

I am not sure what you are saying.

for mine:
Video 1 - 5:00
Video 2 - 5:05
Video 3 - 5:10
Video 4 - 5:15


say when the memory is full, it will delete Video 1 first, then create Video 5.

are you talking about your camera overwrites everything when you start recording again? If so you can't save anything right? lol

thats why it is splitted in segments, right so it will not delete everything, i think your camera might be flawed.

I've tried a couple of cameras, and returned them both.

One camera would let you save videos. If you stopped recording manually and started a new recording it wouldn't overwrite anything. The other camera always started recording at the beginning of the card, overwriting everything. If something happens I want to be able to stop top recording save the event on the card and start a new loop recording.

If there was an event that I wanted to save I'd have to not record anything else until I got home and pulled the video from the card.

I'm still looking for a good one.

These cameras seem to be hit or miss, often new models solve one problem and create a new one. I have yet to find one that does everything well.
