Will this "loop" and override old data, or must the memory be cleared once it is full before it will continue to record?

I don't know. You need to connect to your computer every couple of weeks and Sync it and it then uploads data to your online log book. Device memory never really gets full. I have gone as long as two months before syncing with no issues.

I've never seen any indication that it would write over data. You will get email or text reminders occasionally that tell you it's time to upload your information. It would seem like there would be a warning if it is going to write over existing data. I have never seen such a warning. Apparently it can hold a considerable amount of data, but they want to "train you" to plug it in regularly. I hope that helps.

I have not used mine often enough to find out. Used for tracking miles when volunteering for CASA.

To be honest I am not sure. I always uploaded it to a computer before the memory filled up. Once it is not synced to a PC for a while, it starts taking longer to lock on a satillite. I do it every 2-3 weeks and the memory is always less then 10% full.

You get an alert from the device when it is getting full. The LED starts flashing. Upload every few weeks is best practice.

Yes, it will delete the oldest footage. It uses very little space to save video. I have mine set to only record on motion and have had the system running for a few weeks now, barely any storage taken up.

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 is a loop recorder, once the memory is full it will start recording over from the beginning

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

it can overwrite the old data ...... go to Menu > system > HDD overwrite and select > on

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.

No, it will not overwrite videos when the card is full it will just stop recording, with a warning on the screen.

If you have a 9-volt battery inside, it will retain the recording that is in memory. If you don't, and you disconnect from the DC power supply, you will lose whatever has been stored. I've been burned a couple of times though because my 9V battery didn't have enough charge to retain the recording, and I lost the recording when I disconnected the power supply. (This device is hard on 9V batteries.) Alas, it was never meant to be a permanent recording device, so it keeps me on my toes in terms of getting good at playing the initial loops.

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

no, it creates a new video file for every block, it will just tell you memory full when you run out of memory it will not delete anything.

It will erase the oldest files when the card is full and keep going so you'll always have the last 5 or 6 hours on the card. Please be aware that this unit does NOT use the more efficient Mpeg4 video format so the recording capacity is fairly short.

No, it is false. The camera deletes the older file and starts recording in that new space. I have proved it with a 32gb it works good.

no...once the unit is full you have to delete items first to record again....that is if the unit works...my unit has already failed and will no longer record. considering the price of the unit I would not waste your money buying this particular unit

In the REC. Setting menu you can set it to overwrite mode so when the memory card is full it will overwrite the oldest data, or not, and it will stop when the card is full.

As far as I know, you'd have to just replay the memory sequence through the progress tracker.

if you set it up with the utility software it can be set to over write older data. about 8 hours with 32gb
