New to DUDU7 here - fancy it so far! 🙂 I ride with a Garmin Tandem Dashcam, which records directly on a MicroSD when powered on with vehicle, and overwrites oldest recordings when running out for space. This for security measures.
I've tried to connect a USB stick to the USB female connectors of the DUDU7 and setup the recording but.. first of all I can only set it to 3 mins recording, and second I can not find any options in Task to trigger when system starts to start recording.
Any hints here?
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't quite understand.
Are you referring to the built-in front and rear dual-recording dashcam feature of DUDU7? If it's this app, simply insert the USB drive and select the recording device in the dashcam settings. It will start recording automatically upon startup.

Hey

Yes, I have connected a reverse camera, which I activate with both reverse gear as well as a physical button. This works.

Are you saying, that simply inserting a USB drive and selecting that for recordings in the settings, will make the unit record nonstop while ignition is on? If so, what will happen when USB drive is full?

Thanks!

Auto-recording operates in a loop. When storage nears capacity, it automatically deletes the earliest recorded files to make space, so you needn't worry.
However, for use as a recording drive, you should employ a USB drive with fast write speeds. This drive should be dedicated solely to video recording; storing other files on it is not recommended.

DUDU-Meng Thanks. However, it doesn't record at the moment while driving even though USB device is attached and settings as screenshot shows are made. No new files are generated and saved on the USB device. Any suggestions? Secondly, what does the Recording Time setting mean?

Recording time refers to the duration of each recorded video, which will be split into multiple files.

bodudek

Thanks. Despite my settings do you then have any suggestion on why nothing is recorded? Apart from make the settings the screenshot shows, do I need to activate something else?

bodudek You must set Dashcam app to be opened at startup. Or you can make a task in the More features section:
Trigger condition: Vehicle Ignition
Delay: 2-3 seconds
Action to be performed: open app
App to be opened Dashcam.
Hope this helps.
