Automatic loop recording allows a black box traffic recorder to continue capturing footage without requiring the user to manually start every recording session. When the storage becomes full, older unlocked files can be replaced with newer recordings. Other features may include high-definition video, impact detection, wide-angle coverage, date and time stamps, and memory-card support. This makes the recorder suitable for daily commuting, commercial vehicles, taxis, delivery fleets, road-trip documentation, and continuous vehicle monitoring.
