Dash cam video storage capacity and settings are dependent on the dash cam model and peripheral accessories installed in your vehicle. The total video storage capacity reduces with added accessories. For example, capacity reduces if you enable In-Cab Voice Coaching, enable audio recording from the Dash Cam Settings, or you install Third-Party Camera Integration Using the Standard Samsara Camera Connector using the Camera Connector. By default, dash cams utilize standard (highest quality) HRV storage.
You can modify the following dash cam settings to customize the allocated storage:
-
High Resolution Video (HRV) Storage : Select a higher capacity type to increase the HRV capacity using lower quality video. Capacity options are Standard (default), Increased, or Extended.
-
Secondary Extended Video (SEV) Storage: When you enable this setting, the HRV capacity decreases to allow more capacity for lower quality SEV video. For example, if you have a CM31 dash cam with no accessories and a Standard storage capacity type, the footage capacity reduces from 43 hours to 20 hours with the SEV Storage setting enabled.
The following table summarizes the recording capacity for specific dash cam models and any impact to recording capacity when you modify a camera setting:
