There are several advantages to having an In Car Digital Video Recorder operational in your vehicle. Unquestionably the most prominent benefit for customers is the ability to limit their liability in insurance disputes.

All Dashmate In-Car HD Digital Video Recorders feature Loop Recording. Loop Recording means the camera will automatically delete the oldest dated files to make room for new recordings i.e. the camera may be deleting recorded files from Saturday when you’re driving on Sunday. Essentially, there is no need to empty the SD card when it becomes full. The user can continue to use the camera long term without the unit needing constant attention. The purpose of Loop Recording is that only the most imperative footage is saved for future reference rather than recording non-stop where all the footage recorded may not necessarily be relevant.  Video recording is highly memory intensive so Loop Recording is typically used as a method for making the most use of the limited memory space in an In-Car DVR.
When a collision occurs, the Gravity Sensor (G Sensor) can sense sudden movements and according to the G Sensor sensitivity setting, the DVR can automatically determine whether to set the currently recording video to protection mode which will ensure that the video footage from a “sensed” incident is protected from being overwritten by future Loop Recording.
In-Car Digital Video Recorders with Motion Detection will only record when motion is sensed and will automatically switch off when the camera is dormant. This feature is particularly valuable when incidents occur without warning.

All models also have a maximum capacity limit support.
The inbuilt G-Sensor function can be utilised and triggered to record events when your vehicle is parked and powered off. When the camera detects motion or any shock movement it will record a short write protected file which cannot be deleted by the loop record function.
