Only if you run it long enough to overwrite. I have a couple that automatically lock files if they detect something they think is important. I haven’t paid over $50 (most were around $10 when I got them) so I don’t know if the expensive ones have better features. My son drove past a semi as it exploded on the side of the road coming home from college at Thanksgiving. His dash cam only got smoke coming out of it but he recorded with his iphone out the back window. He saw parts of the semi hit the car behind him. Made me wish we had put a front/rear cam in his car. You have to run wires to them so more work than I wanted to do. I suppose if you have a power source at the rear of the car you could just put another dash came facing that way though…….

Some go up to 256G and can hold a lot. They all have settings for length of recording, mine have 1, 3 and 5 minute options. It starts a new file and then you can tell it to overwrite the oldest when they fill up. They usually also have buttons you can hit to mark the current file as locked or something like that so it won’t overwrite if something happens that you want to save. With 128G I think mine holds over 10hours at 1080p. I have one that I can connect to with my cell phone and watch the videos through that. I’ve never done it though. Depending on what you want to do, you can get them with cell service also that work as location tracking too. I haven’t looked at what’s out there for that in the last couple years though.

Do they write over memory? From: James Howard Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 3:35 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Missed me by that much Record all your calls with them. My daughter made a left turn (she thought she had a green arrow but wasn’t positive and told the cop and insurance guy that) in front of a car that might have run a red light if she was correct. It was a four lane street and the oncoming car by all accounts including the driver was in the left lane. He hit the rear wheel of my daughter’s Jeep in the crosswalk of the street she had turned into (he came from the left lane, actually came across a lane to hit her in the left lane of the street she had turned into). They pulled into the gas station at the corner to get out of traffic (his suggestion). I came because my daughter didn’t have proof of insurance in the Jeep so I ran over to show that on my phone. The other guy comes out of his car and knocks on my daughter’s window since it had started to rain and says “do you happen to have any cigarettes, I don’t want to run to gas station in the rain”. 17 year old daughter was driving. 15 year old sitting in passenger seat (was reading a book when it happened so said she didn’t see anything) was who the guy asked for cigs. Anyway, back to the story, he tells the cop while I’m sitting there that he was going straight at the intersection (nothing about turning) and was pretty sure he had a green light. Cop says since they left the intersection he couldn’t write anything for sure. You could see the pile of pieces in the crosswalk that came off my daughter’s Jeep but he said there was no proof that it happened there. There were skid marks but not definitive. Cop felt bad but I understand he couldn’t state what he thought probably happened. So, anyway, I check with gas station and they don’t have any cameras pointed at the intersection so no footage. So to the reason for recording all calls from State Farm. I have State Farm but because it was an older Jeep we don’t have collision coverage. The other driver also had State Farm but had an almost new CRV and had full coverage. Jeep was still sort of driveable (I ended up selling it for $500) but the whole front end of CRV was hanging off. State Farm calls me and asks to talk to my daughter. I sit next to her while she’s talking to them. She tells them that she’s pretty sure she had a green arrow but she’s not positive. State Farm talks to the other guy. State Farm calls me back and says “your daughter is 85% at fault so you get nothing”. I said wait a minute….. how is 85% her fault if the other guy came across 2 lanes and told the cop on sight he was going straight, not turning? The State Farm guy says “your daughter said she turned in front of him and he had a green light”. I said that is completely false. I was sitting here when she said she was pretty sure she had a green arrow. State Farm says “the other driver stated that he had a green light and your daughter turned in front of him”. So I said, “my 15 year old was reading a book in the Jeep and said so rather than lying like this other driver. If she had said that she saw the whole thing and my daughter had a green arrow would you have said that was 2 stories against one?”. They didn’t say for sure but it sounded like that would have affected it. So including getting no money for the Jeep, my daughter also got that accident on her record and State Farm raised our rates. I wish I could find a different company but they’ve actually been decent other than that time. But….. again record the calls to them because they will lie about what you tell them. Also, anybody that’s still suffering through my account here…. Put dash cams in your cars. I put them in every vehicle we have after that. Thankfully we haven’t been in any accidents since but I’ve actually turned dash cam footage over to the cops twice now for accidents that happened in front of us. Good luck with State Farm!!
