If the 9665GC V3 is not recording, the left red LED light will not continually flash.
The right red LED light indicates that the audio is being recorded.
The central white LED light simply means that the unit has power.
The new dual channel Street Guardian will have the latest tech, so it will be better quality than the current SG9665GC V3's.
However, Street Guardian's forthcoming dual channel is many months away.
Worse, if you're gonna wait for Street Guardian's dual channel, then you may as well wait a few more months again for Street Guardian's forthcoming dual channel "remote lens" dashcam.
This is essentially the same as the dual channel, but the lens and sensor is mounted on the front windscreen, and cabled to the CPU and memory unit/box that can be housed in the glovebox, under the front seats, the trunk, on top of the dash, on top of the steering column etc - the main purpose of mounting the CPU and memory away from the front windscreen is to prevent solar damage from the heat of the sun.
Below is a photo of Street Guardian's current single channel remote lens dashcam with an LCD resistive touch screen input/output.
I suspect that the unconventional and possibly unattractive shape of the remote lens SGZC12RC V2 resulted in a dash cam that is much less popular than what it should have been?
The clear plastic mount of the current single channel model didn't help either, as some owners say they had to coat it with black spray paint.
The remote lens and sensor itself doesn't look as the compact and more attractive units from Blackvue, Thinkware, and Lukas.
Styling really sells.
Eventually, it becomes a massive waiting game.
And if we wait even longer, we will get hi resolution QHD 2560 x 1440, and ultimately UHD 3840 x 2160 resolution, combined with superior low light sensitivity by increasing the size of the glass lens and increasing the sensor size to receive more light, similar to full frame dSLR cameras, and similar to deep underwater sea creatures which have huge eyes!
Furthermore, the video will have the frame rate increased from the current 30 fps, to 60 fps, to 120 fps.
Thus, we will all wait for superior technology, depending on our individual circumstances which determine how long we can wait.
Personally, because we have five cars to fit out, we can afford to buy two 9665GC V2's last year, and another two 9665GC V3's recently, and we will simply pass these four units onto our older cars, and buy the forthcoming dual channel remote lens design dashcams as they have their bugs removed, and they are released onto the market in the next 6 months or so...
