Just got my first Dashcam and fitted myself without too much hassle. There doesn't seem to be a manual 'keep' button but I set the front back axis G sensor low and turned on the beep and I tested that it can keep a video by just lightly tapping the camera and getting the beep to confirm. It doesn't need much of a tap so I don't think it's going to do any harm. Will the beep be annoying by beeping for other events? I read that most people turn it off?
But if I tap say, 20 seconds into the start of a 1 min video file it will save that file, which is ok if the incident was 10 seconds ago. But if I tap 5 seconds from the start is the camera programmed to save the previous file too? That would be logical as if an accident happens 1 second into a file it would be unhelpful to just see the outcome. Still at least I will have that file in red and so be able to find the incident I wanted to keep.
