There are several possible reasons for this. Based on the description. I believe this is when the vehicle is running and the camera is on. The camera should be reaching 3 minutes then starting a new recording. Once the micro chip is full, it should erase the oldest recording and begin a new recording from the current date/time. One possible issue: date setting incorrect or date on recordings was incorrect when recorded. Say, for example, you accidentally set the year for 2033 instead of 2022. All recordings will have future dates. Then you correct the date to 2022. If the disk is full, the camera will keep deleting the current video because it is the oldest dated video. If you only have one minute of recording space on the disk, it would record for one minute, fill up, delete the current video and start recording for a minute again. Confirm the date in the camera, Then check the dates of the recordings. Format the micro chip (this will erase all information on the disk and incorrectly dated videos will be erased (save any important videos to a computer first). Instead, you could simply insert a new blank micro chip. Second possible issue: bad SD micro chip. This is possible and reformatting the disk may help. You might need to replace the SD chip. This doesn’t would likely as the camera does seem to be recording per your description. It is also possible that something is wrong with the camera. Since the camera does seem to be recording, it doesn’t appear to be a camera problem, but is it possible that the camera is resetting and changing the date back to the factory settings. This would cause the date to be wrong and constantly record over the most recent video. If the camera is resetting, you will need to diagnose the problem that is causing the reset of the camera (such as extreme heat or cold weather (even moderate heat outside the car could cause extreme heat inside enough to cause problems for the camera). Of course the camera could have an internal problem making it reset too which could mean that the camera would need to be replaced. I would check all possible SD chip issues first as they are more likely, easier, and less costly to fix.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Lee, When Motion detect is turned on, your dash cam automatically starts recording when it detects movement within 10 ft. (3 m), such as people walking. If no additional motion is detected in 10 seconds, recording stops. Both cameras support motion detection. You can select On or Off.
