The CarcamOne is recording 15 minutes videos. Once space at the card is needed, it will automatically erase the oldest files. In between two files there will be a gap of 3 seconds – equal to 0,3% of the whole recorded file.
The default setting of the CarcamOne-cable is to detect the turning of the engine – if your car is fitted with an energy saving system that stops the motor or generator, or if it is powered by en electric motor you need to close the red jumper inside the adaptor cable plug.
