- If the dashcam is currently off and you still trigger an event, the app can switch into future-only recording so at least the post-trigger window is captured.

At the default 25 FPS and fixed 9 Mbit/s bitrate, recordings use about **67 MB per minute** or **4 GB per hour**. The default rolling buffer of ten 30-second clips therefore occupies only about **340 MB**. Available capacity is usually not the main concern when recording to the head unit; the continuous rewriting is. Recording for one hour every day writes roughly **1.5 TB of video data per year**, so a USB drive is recommended for continuous use.

The output canvas and bitrate stay the same regardless of how many cameras are selected. For example, recording only the front camera still creates a full 1200x800 frame at 9 Mbit/s, with the unused camera areas left black. Selecting fewer cameras reduces camera-processing bandwidth, but it does not reduce the recording's storage use.
