YOUR SETUP / STORAGE ESTIMATE

How much footage could fit?

Use the recording bitrate and channel count from your camera settings. This is a rough capacity estimate, not a device compatibility recommendation.

Enter your own settings to estimate a range.

The estimate uses decimal card capacity and entered bitrate. Actual retention varies with codec, frame rate, audio, variable bitrate, formatting, locked/event clips, and firmware overhead. Follow the camera maker's card recommendations and verify the result with real recordings.

BEFORE YOUR NEXT DRIVE

Quick setup checks

View and placement

Confirm the camera does not obstruct your view and is mounted per the vehicle and device instructions.

Card and loop settings

Verify card type, format process, clip length, and how protected recordings are handled.

Power and privacy

Review parking-mode power draw, low-voltage cutoff, and your responsibility when sharing video.
