How does it work?

This Lexus Front and Rear Dashcam records one-minute long video files to a removable memory card. As a result, files are easier to review later with the memory card able to store around 3 hours of footage.

When there is no 12v supply, the battery backup takes over so there is no draw on the vehicle when it is switched off.
