In some cases the dashcam videos are stored on a dashcam's built-in internal memory, an external harddrive or in the Cloud. Also, a dashcam saves the GPS and G-sensor data in the video or on a separate file on the memory (check this article about G-sensors).Īll the videos are stored on a memory, usually in the form of a (Micro) SD card that's inserted into the dashcam. It therefore removes the oldest recordings automatically to make space for new recordings (check this article about Loop recording). A dashcam is specifically designed to keep recording at all times even when the memory is full. The way a dashcam stores videos is slightly different from regular cameras. Whether you had an accident or because you saw something funny on the road at some point you might want to watch one of those videos.
A dashcam is essentially nothing more than a digital video camera mounted in the car.
