How long until recorded files get overwritten by the Dash Cam?

How Much Footage Can Be Stored on My SD Card?

The amount of video your Dash Cam can store depends on two things:

  • The size of your SD card

  • The recording resolution (higher resolution = larger files, less total footage).

Example

A 622GW recording in 4K with a Rear Cam (1080p) uses around 510MB per minute.

  • With a 64GB SD card (64,000MB), divide 64,000 ÷ 510 = 125 minutes.

  • 125 minutes ÷ 60 = 2.08 hours of total recording.

  • After this, the Dash Cam will start overwriting the oldest files.

Important notes

  • The total includes protected files (files marked safe from overwrite). If you have many protected files, new files will overwrite sooner.

  • Rear cameras use more storage.

  • Dual Files, used by Ultra HD models, also increase file size.

  • Audio recording slightly increases file size (turning it off saves space).

  • Lighting conditions affect file size—more detail means larger files.

  • Metadata (G-sensor, GPS) adds a small amount of data.

 

Key takeaways

  • Bigger SD card = more hours.

  • Higher resolution or rear cameras = fewer hours.

  • Protected files reduce available space for new recordings.
