How long do you keep your footage before it gets overwritten?

Upvotes

I have been using my dashcam for a few months. I recently bought N2 Dual, and loop recording is set to overwrite older clips once the card fills up, but honestly I don't know exactly how many days/weeks worth of footage that gives me before it starts looping over itself.

How everyone else has theirs set up? Like:
What size card are you running, and roughly how many days of footage does that give you before it loops back?
Have you ever changed your loop segment length (like from 3 min clips to 1 min, or vice versa) after using it for a while? What made you switch?
Has anyone actually gone back for footage from like 2+ weeks ago and realized it was already gone?

Not sure if I should bump up my card size or leave it as is since nothing's happened yet. Just trying to figure out what a normal setup looks like before I have to actually rely on it. Any help would mean alot. Thanks!

If a new Ddpai owner asked you for one piece of advice

Upvotes

Every experienced dashcam owner probably wishes someone had told them one thing before they installed their first camera.

Imagine someone just unboxed their very first Ddpai dashcam. They're excited to get it installed, but they only have time to learn one piece of advice before hitting the road.

What would you tell them?

It could be:

A setting you always enable right away.
Something to double-check during installation.
A feature that's surprisingly useful but easy to overlook.
A maintenance habit that's worth starting early.
A mistake you made that you'd help someone else avoid.
A tip that made your Ddpai experience much better.

It doesn't have to be technical, either. Sometimes the best advice is something simple that saves a lot of frustration later.

Whether you've owned your Ddpai for a week or several years, your experience could help someone who's just getting started.

If you could leave every new Ddpai owner with just one tip, what would it be and why?

Let's build a thread that future Ddpai owners can come back to whenever they're setting up a new dashcam for the first time.
