Does this camera have loop recording feature, so it can be used as a dash cam?

In a manner of speaking, yes. All you need is a large supply of micro SD cards and s constant power source.

Sadly it doesn't, but i like how you think! You can record till the card's full and then you need to manually delete before you can record any more. Tell the guys from ION to include it in the next one!

You can record, however, it's not a CCTV camera, I suspect that's what you're looking for.

I have mine set as continuous loop, but when night driving the camera doesn't notice anything on dark highways, then stops recording only to start again when lights brighten the lens. I guess it thinks the vehicle isn't moving. I don't know. Just my observation, in which I don't care for. I would rather have the thing recording on the loop until I turn it off. So far I have not found that button.

Yes it records in a loop mode-the oldest file in the memory card is overwritten.

There is a small skip between loops but its barely noticable. I use it for my daily commute and couldn't think of a better quailty camera for this price. I have had more expensive ones that were half as good. Hopefully this helps answer your question.You can even check out the quality of the camera on my youtube channel.My channel name is mydashcam6Heres the link to it. the newer videos were made with this camera.www.youtube.com/user/mydashcam6

No, needs to record to a dvr. No internal recording capacity, strictly a camera.

This camera does not record itself, your receiving unit has to have recording ability such as a DVR or a Time Lapse VHS system. The camera simply gives you video of the areas its focused on, but you must have a recording system that the camera connects to. This is an excellent camera with exceptional night vision even in total darkness. I have an 8 camera system using this camera. I highly recommend it.

Yes,but not a loop type.You record,hit stop,then hold down this ( &lt; ) and then to continue hit record to continue. Good luck!

Sorry that I haven't responded to your request . Well the camera is ok but it has a lot of problems and one of the problems is that some of the footage can't play on your computer. I had that problem and decided to get a better dash camera so I bought CR500HD. it is expensive but it really does the job well.

yes, the camera records audio . it is pretty cheap, but i have discovered that the camera sometimes doesn't record the video for some reason. if i tried to click on the video the computer tells me that the video is damaged. i had that problem for a while after that i bought CR 500HD, and I use it until now. i recommend to buy CR 500HD from blackboxmycar.com. i hope i have answered all your questions and if you have more questions, please feel free to email me back

Have used this videocam at nite as a car dash camera and on my bike. So far have no problems. Better than my obsolete go pro hero I that I have over used for over 2 years. The built-in video screen will give you the answer to your question too.

No there is not. That is the difference between this camera and it predecessor model. This device has a capacitor which provides only enough power to allow for an orderly disk write of the recorded data and shutdown. But with a dash cam, that is all you really need. The benefit of this configuration is one of fewer heat issues. Most electronic devices that are meant to be used in car windshields/dashboards are susceptible to overheating, particularity when in direct sunlight/hot weather. But the real issue with these things is usually not the devices themselves but rather the batteries they contain. I have actually had batteries burst/explode on other devices. The use of a capacitor rather than a battery resolves many of these issues. the drawback to this is that you must be tethered to a power supply for the camera to operate. As this is designed to be an in-car dash cam with access to the vehicle's power, when used as intended this should not really be an issue.

No, it does not work in loop mode; technically this is not possible because loop mode would need the camera to record in pieces and delete the oldest (fixed size or time), but this camera is recording in a single piece until you stop it or the card is full. However a 32 GB card holds about 8 hours of 720p video, much more than a battery charge, so you can delete the card when you charge the battery; if you don't have a computer with you just use the format button. I am using it also on a motorcycle and that's the way I do.

Hi Kevin, it does not. The camera can record only up to 60fps. Thanks_Mitch

Yes, this is only a camera. You will need a CCTV surveillance recorder in order to record from the camera.

mine did not come with one either. Here is some helpful hints. Always charge the battery over night before starting and you will have to buy and install a memory card before it will work. Over 4 GB is best or it will not loop for use as a dash cam. Other than that, all I can tell you is work with the controls and figure it out. It takes a while. Sorry I could not help more.

Much like a GPS unit, you can use the suction cup mount to attach it to the dash. I'm not sure if this unit comes with it, but most GPS units come with a small, plastic piece that adheres to your dash. That's where the suction cup attaches. With that said, I'm not sure how well it will work on the dash. My camera is mounted to the windshield and I'm not sure if it would record very well mounted to the dash.
