Length of Video Files on a Dash Cam Enabled Device
Video footage will appear continuous when viewed in the gallery of your Dash Cam enabled device, in the Garmin VIRB app, Garmin Drive app, dēzl™ app, or in the Vault1.
However, when viewing the raw files inside the memory card of the device, unsaved video files will appear as 1-minute-long fragments.
When video footage is viewed on the computer, depending on the third-party software being used, the files may also appear in increments. Some third-party software may allow for the editing of these incremental files.
For most Dash Cam devices: When an event is detected or a video is saved, the device will save the previous video clip, the currently recording clip, and will save the upcoming clip. Each of these clips will be approximately 1 minute in length, for a total of 3 minutes of saved video around the time of the incident or saved video. If another save is initiated while a save is in progress, the length of the saved video will be extended.
For the dēzlCam™ LGV710, dēzlCam™ OTR710, dēzlCam™ LGV725, dēzlCam™ OTR725 GPS navigators with camera, Garmin DriveCam™ 76 GPS navigator with camera, CamperCam 795 motorhome sat nav, and RVcam 795 RV navigator with built-in dash cam: When an event is detected or a video is saved, the device will save the 15 seconds before and the 15 seconds of video after the incident, for a total of 30 seconds of saved video around the time of the incident or saved video. If another save is initiated while a save is in progress, the length of the saved video will be extended.
For information on viewing video files using a smartphone, see the owner's manual for the device.
Note: Video files will occasionally be shorter than the default length of time if the save is initiated shortly after the Dash Cam begins recording, if the recording is stopped manually, or if there is an interruption such as power loss.
