I think HT mis-wrote when he/she said it does not continuously record like a DVR. It does continuously record, it's just that the buffer is only 40 seconds.

Once you do something that it detects as an accident then it saves the current buffer and the next 20 seconds off to a file. When you "start" the app, it then saves that past 20 second buffer and the next 20 into a file.

I don't know how many files it can save, but it's not much.

I too would prefer a nice 128Gb video storage like my dash cam, but this has the advantage of being integrated and using 1,2 or 4 cameras. Everything is a trade-off.
Correct, 40 seconds total (20 from the buffer and 20 more). No direct line from God lol.

When I copied mine to a usb, it 1 video from 4 cameras (stitched together).
