    My old dash cam would stop recording if the card got full unless I manually deleted files. Does the DashOne Pro just overwrite the oldest clips automatically or do I still need to format the card now and then?

    Honestly that’s basically how most loop recording works. The DashOne Pro overwrites old files when the card fills up, same as any other cam with that feature. I think you still want to format the card every once in a while just to keep it running smooth, but you don’t have to manually delete anything. Not really a big deal either way.

    I think that’s pretty much how it works, yes. The DashOne Pro will automatically overwrite the oldest clips once the card is full, so you don’t have to manually delete anything. I’ve had mine for a few months and haven’t needed to format the card yet, though I probably should do it occasionally for peace of mind.

    It’ll overwrite old files on its own, same as most loop recording cams. Just don’t cheap out on the memory card, grab a high endurance one and you should be fine.

    Pretty much just overwrites the oldest stuff automatically, same as any loop recording cam. I do like to format my card every few months just to keep things clean, but it’s not really required.

    I actually found the opposite with mine. The DashOne Pro kept looping fine but I noticed some random clips would get locked for no reason and then the card would fill up anyway. I still have to manually format it every few weeks to keep it working right.

    That’s pretty much how loop recording works on the DashOne Pro. It overwrites the oldest files automatically so you don’t have to worry about manually deleting stuff. I still format my card every couple of months just to keep things clean, but it’s not required.

    Pretty much yeah, it overwrites old clips on its own when the card fills up. I just leave mine alone and it’s been fine so far.

    I think it just does the loop recording thing automatically, so you shouldn’t have to mess with deleting files. I haven’t had to format mine yet, but I’m not totally sure if that’s something you still need to do now and then.

    Honestly, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Most loop recording cams just overwrite old footage on their own, and the DashOne Pro does the same. You shouldn’t need to format it unless you run into some weird issue.

    Oh that’s the main reason I upgraded from my old one too, I got so tired of having to check the card all the time. The DashOne Pro just loops around on its own, hasn’t been an issue for me so far.

    It should just overwrite the oldest files on its own once the card fills up, so you don’t have to worry about deleting stuff manually. I think I’ve seen some people mention formatting every now and then to keep things clean, but I haven’t bothered with mine yet and it’s been fine.

    I’ve only had mine a few weeks, but so far it’s just been overwriting old clips without me touching anything. Not sure if you’re supposed to format the card every now and then anyway, but I haven’t bothered yet.

    Honestly, I think people stress too much about formatting. I’ve had mine for a few months and just let it do its thing without touching the card once.

    It does overwrite the oldest clips on its own, so you don’t have to delete anything manually. I’ve had mine a few months and haven’t touched the card once since I put it in. That said, I still format it every couple months just to keep things clean, but it’s not really necessary.

    Mine just overwrites the old clips when the card fills up. I haven’t formatted the card once in the time I’ve had it and it’s been fine so far.

    It does overwrite the oldest files automatically, so you can just let it run. I’m not totally convinced you never need to format, but I haven’t bothered with mine yet and it’s been fine.

    I haven’t really worried about formatting mine. It just keeps recording over the old stuff. I think people overthink it sometimes.

    It’s been overwriting fine on mine. I think people get too hung up on formatting unless you’re having issues.

    I just set mine to the highest quality and let it overwrite. Haven’t touched the card since I put it in.

    Alright, thanks for the replies. Sounds like it takes care of itself, which is basically what I wanted to hear. I’ll just let it do its thing and stop worrying about it.
