  If it works like mine, it automatically records over older clips when the unused space runs out.

    Some of these cameras have a G shock sensor (mine does). If the sensor is triggered, the camera will flag the video file as "read only" so that it doesn't get over written. Over time, these "read only" files would accumulate and fill up your memory card until it's full. To delete, simply format as you did or insert the card into a computer and manually delete all video files.

  Hi Trex, I dont know why it may have triggered ,[no G forces by me] I notice the key is always on display , but I cannot seem to get rid of it,if that denotes being in a locked mode would make you think thats why its saving all clips

  if you looked at yours how many clips would be on the card?& is the key showing or off?

  thanks for your interest

    I'm using a 16GB card on full HD recording. From memory, each clip is about 500MB or so where in the camera's settings recording is set to 10 mins per clip. The card accommodates around 32 clips.

    My car cam looks like this model

    There's a button on top of the unit with a Triangle symbol which manually sets the current recording to lock. A symbol appears on the LCD screen though I can't remember now what the symbol looks like.

  VGA 320's resolution might not be clear enough especially in identifying vehicle number plates ;)
