Hi all,

Just got my new Mini 2, and was reviewing the videos. I see that as soon as the power is off (ignition off), the video recording stops. Is this normal? My old ITB100 used to record for a few more seconds after ignition off, in case the power failure is due to an accident and the file is not corrupted. I saw some forum entries from September 2024 that talks about the dashcam fixing the files itself (https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/not-able-to-record-in-ts-video-format.51692/#post-624171) but I wanted to check in again to see if I can rely on my dashcam recording the accident, and is able to record the event on the memory card (and maybe even a few more seconds afterwards) so the accident video can be retrieved. Any thoughts / real life experiences?
 
Once IGN off, it will stop recording is normal as different brand dashcams have different factory settings. But it will save your last file once it is off, so no worries. If you are worried you can remove the card and view from you laptop/ computer to see if it is saved.
 
This is normal because it has an internal capacitor not a battery. There are some garmins that will record about a minute after power is lost but they have a Lithium Ion battery
