The dashcam needs to be turned on for each profile, typically in loop recording mode. It can be turned off.
The specs for that drive no not specify operating temperature or anything about continuous performance. For any long trips the dashcam will be continuously writing images. Many device cannot handle this and will fail prematurely.

Any USB-C should work. It is out of the way in the centre armrest.

I just used a 256GB flash drive.
It's good for about 30 hours of driving before it overwrites old recording.
I think that's plenty good enough for me.

I use a 512gb USB-C memory stick that shares dash cam video with 216gb of music. It works fine, the video just re-writes over as needed.

I hope that was a typo. 1GB is not going to cut it for 1080p dashcam recording.

For some reason, MB has not activated my dashcam since the last post. Might have been my credit card blocked from charging, if this is the case, MB should have contact me through email... MB has not charged $200 fee for this either. I did try to order a second time... but nothing so far and no contact from MB. Does anyone here experienced the same? It's good idea for security and safety purposes.

I just purchased (December/2024) a new 2024 EQS 450+ SUV. Augmented navigation was not listed on the sticker as a feature - so I assumed I could not activate any sort of factory installed dashcam. However, I noticed it had what looked like a forward-facing video camera. When getting the car walkthrough at the dealership, I asked if I could purchase the dashcam. The techie checked my MercedesMe account and the dashcam was indeed listed for purchase. And then when I did my first navigation in the car, the augmented video was displayed on the middle hyperscreen display...the augmented video was not displayed in the heads-up video. So, I can't tell...did Mercedes include some sort of augmented video feature in the 2024 EQS as standard? I was pretty happy as the one feature I wanted, but missing from this specific car, was the dashcam.

Congratulations on your new EQS!
The Dashcam is indeed available for purchase after taking delivery. Every has the front facing cameras, as they are also used for Distronic and other features.
Can’t speak for the augmented reality navigation; mine has it both in the HUD and on the display but I never use it.

Yes, I know AR nav is an extra cost. My point is that it has nothing to do with the Dashcam.

It’s very cool; but I use CarPlay for navigation.

Somewhere along the way, Mercedes said you needed the augmented navigation capability in order to have the dashcam...makes sense as the forward-looking camera would be there. I'm guessing, the augmented navigation package used to include the heads-up augmented display and the ability to display augmented video on the center/interior display. If that was true, I'm guessing Mercedes split the package....HUD augmented video is still an option...but augmented video in the center interior display is now included as standard equipment and thus I was able to order the dashcam. Who knows...I don't really care...but still happy I was able to purchase the dashcam.

I purchased the enablement of the dashcam on my 2023, and added a 512GB Sandisk USB stick. Works great! But I do wish it recorded sound too.
