Questions answered
Loop recording continuously overwrites the oldest clips when the SD card fills, so the camera always records the latest drive. Important clips are locked from being overwritten if you tap save or detect a G-sensor event.
If you park on the street, yes. Parking mode records when motion or impact is detected and can save you from a hit-and-run. It needs a hardwire kit, not just the cigarette plug.
