Dashcam issue

I have a 128G USB-C drive plugged in. With automatic loopback, once the drive is full with videos, it is supposed to overwrite. Instead, it keeps giving out errors

"Automatic dashcam recording could not be started"

"Insufficient memory available. Please change the storage medium"

"The selected storage medium has a fault"

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

The overwrite doesn't work. You have to delete the videos. There is an option to delete all videos, but you have to press it a couple of times.

Mine works well. It does warn me when It begins to overwrite files. Video quality is excellent. I'm using this USB-C drive

Low res? Mine produces 1920X1280 HD videos. Might not be 4K but still pretty good.

I see from your profile that you have a 2024 GLE; perhaps, my 2022 needs a software update. Not sure which model year the OP has.

Please let me know if that makes a difference, although I highly doubt it.

I can't imagine the usb stick making a difference with automatically deleting old files to make room for new ones. It has to be software related. Although I am hesitant to ask for an update because my "Loop" recording starts automatically, which orgianlly did not. I have read many posts on here, complaining, about dash cam needing to be manually started each time.

Has there ever been a solution to having the camera auto start when you start the car - or does it need to be manually started each trip ?

Since I’ve own the 2024 gle, camera starts automatically and loops when recording and auto delete the old ones. If you want to save a video, you’ll need to manually save the video you want. I believe mb dashcam records 20 or 30 seconds long videos at a time

MY 22 GLE450 - Auto Records, but doesn't auto delete.Received a message this morning that recording couldn't be started due to USB drive being full. I couldn't find a setting to auto-delete.

MY 2022 - There is a solution because mine didn't initially auto start. Dealer said it no longer does that. However, after several trips back for issues with dash cam and AR, it just started auto-starting one day, and has been doing it ever since. Ask dealer if there is a software update.

Mine records 2 minute videos. Takes just a minute or so to transfer the files to my iMac. The files all display with a preview of
the video making it easy to pick the ones you might want to save. They are also time and date stamped in the file name.

Interesting, I am using the one, to the far right, of the cup holder as the one in center console didn't always work. When you tried the cup holder, did the above usb drive fit or were you using something else? I am wondering if it interfers with iPhone cable?

My order of 2024 GLE 450w has deleted the camera twice when tried on this order. Advised "No chips" or they are using the camera chips on their higher end vehicles. MB cameras are only 1 channel and they do not offer any others such as front and rear. Probably will consider after market.

Look into BLACKVUE dash cams; hear they're pretty solid...
