Does it loop when it runs out of space? Or do I have to manually reset it so it records again?

Hi Laura. Yes, it loops automatically so there's no need to fuss with it. Thanks.

Yes it will record in a loop and you can put a 64 sd card in for about 30 hours of live action before it starts the loop. I have bought 4 of these and will be buying one more. shortly after insatlling one i got rear ended at a red light and wait till you see all the info recorded time map g-force etc.

It erases the oldes footage and continues recording. No manual tasks required

It overwrites the oldest files in the card automatically. So yes it does loop. Keep in mind that those files that are saved as events will not be overwritten , so too many events can cause quicker loops. Once a week SD formatting is recommended which can be done on the computer or on the blackvue itself (I trust the computer more but that's just me).

The camera records all of the time, but when the card fills up, it over-writes the previously recorded data. That works because you do not have to download or change memory cards.

It records continuously. You can set it to record in 2 min, 3 min , 5 min loops. For example, if you set it to the 3 min loop, after the third minute it will start all over again and record a new loop. I recommend getting a 32 mb sd card so that you can store a lot of footage in case you need it. After you exceed the space on the sd card, it will delete the older files. This device is great but it has terrible instructions. You have to play with the settings on your own to figure everything out.

Yes, just note the position from where you stopped, note your file number, and second counter. reverse to approximate position beyond error, playback and stop where you want to re-record, and then press the rec/pause button again.

Yes it does loop. The time frame depends on your camera resolution settings. I think I have mine set on 640 lines and the loop is 21 days. Oldest recordings are erased first. This is a great system for homes or small businesses but make sure to secure the recorder against theft.

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then I´ve been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I don´t know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.

It's up to you. You can set it so it stops recording when full or you can set it to overwrite.

No real need to do that. If you set the timer to 10 mins. it will just record in successive 10 min increments until the SD card is full at which time it will be to erase segments, oldest first and re record over them.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

It records over so you never run out of space. There is a setting in the preferences area for this. I have the 8 cameras running and I think I have more then 14 days of history.

hello, as far as the memory card goes, it stops recording when full. with a 32gig card, I got about 5 hours of recording time. I just erase the card once a week on my laptop. when the card gets full it tells you. the menu is quite tempermental as formatting the card while in the dashcam is a pain.

Yes, this camera loops the video recording so that if the memory card is full, the oldest video is deleted and overwritten. I like that it saves the video in 2-minute segments (although there might be an option to make it longer than that). Larger video segments take longer to download or open in a video editor.Also, if something happens and you want to prevent that 2-minute segment from being deleted, there is a 'lock' button which will prevent that segment from being deleted.

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

it records in ten minute segments but restarts automatically so it does not miss anything that i've noticed.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

memory full is becoz the memory card's storage are taken up by those locked files. there is "unlock all " or "format" from the device, will release those spaces to record again. to have the sd card set to always loop recording mode, then you need to turn the g sensor off, parking mode off. Or adjust the sensitivity of g sensor and parking mode accordingly. thanks Marie

Mine only records when motion triggers it and it records for 30 seconds or as long as there is enough motion to be detected. You can set it to record over old recording if it is at capacity. I have a SD card that I download to my pc if I want to keep it, otherwise I just delete everything after a few days.
