Persistent recording
Recording to the microSD card is persistent. This means that powering the unit off and on does
not erase the existing recordings on the microSD card. Be aware, though, that the oldest
recordings will be overwritten by new recordings when the card is 90% full.
Available clips
Details about clips can be found in the Available clips section.
Clips with recording status 'Recording' or 'Ready' are available for download in .avi format.
Clips include 30 seconds of prerecorded video and five seconds of postrecorded video. The
prerecording mechanism is active at all times.
Clip file size will not exceed 500 MB. If a recording requires more storage capacity, multiple
clips are created.
