We are often asked specifically about the Wifi and exactly what it does and how does it work.  In summary, the camera comes with no screen - not many do - but if a camera incorporates Wifi, then the memory card can be accessed by a Smartphone running the Android operating system.  This means that the owner can view videos whilst still inside the vehicle, showing them to the Police at the scene of an incident is extremely useful, but on a lesser scale, the user can view the video and re-align the camera if necessary to confirm that it is capturing at the correct angle - ensuring that as little of the sky as possible is recording on the video (for best picture performance).

The duration of video and data which a cameras memory can hold is dependant on two main factors - firstly and primarily, the size of the memory card installed.  Naturally, the larger the memory card, the more footage can be held.  Secondly, the type of video compression the camera uses to encode the video before saving it to memory is also a major factor.  H264 is a widely used format which reduces the data with minimal loss of quality to a very small size.  The table on the left shows in detail how much (in minutes) video can be stored at any given point in time, along with the various parameters which contribute to that level of storage.
