Your Garmin Dash Cam can record video in 720p, 1080p, or 1440p. For instructions on how to change the video resolution, see Video Resolution Settings
The device will record non-stop when powered on. When the microSD card is full, the non-protected videos will be overwritten. Saved videos will not be overwritten.
The maximum amount of footage that can be recorded or saved on a micro SD card depends on the Dash Cam's video resolution setting and the size of the card.
