Other factors that affect average recording size include:

  • Audio Recording - If audio recording is turned off, the average file size will be slightly smaller.

  • Lighting - The more variation across an image, the more storage is used.

  • Dash cam metadata e.g. G sensor and GPS data - Metadata such as GPS data is saved to the SD card and takes a small amount of storage.

Extra tips

  • Use Nextbase high-endurance SD cards for best reliability.

  • Format SD card every 2-4 weeks to maintain performance.

  • Larger cards give more time before overwriting.

  • Protected Files do not overwrite as quickly as normal recording files
