loop recording
Overwriting video continuously
Loop recording is a method of continuous recording where new data overwrites the oldest when storage fills up, creating an endless cycle.
Most common in dashcams and security cameras, it ensures the device never stops capturing: The dashcam's loop recording kept the last three hours of footage.
Also used in music production, where a performer records over previous takes while listening to them.
