I have mine on 3 minute loops, so if I do something daft the evidence is gone pretty quick.

Mine is on 5 minute loops. I've got a 64gb card in mine though , mine records for the full 64gb then rewrites over it once it's full.

What good is a 3 minute loop if you have a crash?
Leap out the car and accidentally leave keys in the ignition and start asking the other driver what the fuck they were doing . Suddenly 5 minutes have gone and so could be your recording?

Mine records at 5 minute intervals and keeps each one until the card is full then rewrites over it. If you have a smash there's a red button on the side which you press and that protects the last recording.

Mite invest in one of these myself. I can think of at least one instance in my time driving where it would have been very beneficial.

My brother has one in his scirroco and regularly drives like a tit. He got hit by an old cunt about a month after he picked it up brand new, so decided that was the time to invest.
As said, either remove the sd card or delete/write over the footage if you're worried about incriminating yourself.

it will store hours of footage (memory card dependent) and erase the oldest footage as it records new footage

I could do with one for when I park it up as little pikey kids around my area have scratched up one panel and fucked up a wheel. Can you run them while the car's not on?

Watching it back and getting more annoyed is not going to make you feel any better

I have a police reference number for other cars damaged by who I believe did it. I would have no qualms in handing solid evidence to the police if it means they get nicked and pay for what they've done

Yes I had my one recording 24/7, wired up to the interior light obviously it would get overwritten once the card was full but i could view it on my phone there & then.
