TimeBack is a pre-recording camera and instant replay camera that continuously buffers recent footage, so when something happens, just press record to save what happened before and after. No need to record continuously while waiting, helping you avoid unwanted footage and save storage space. Perfect for fishing, sports, travel, pets, family moments, and everyday life. 【Key Features】 PRE-RECORDING CAMERA Set the pre-record duration for up to 2 minutes. 4K VIDEO RECORDING Record clear, detailed videos in up to 4K resolution.

VIDEO MANAGEMENT Review, organize, and export your videos in the app. 【USE CASES】 FISHING Wait for the bite and capture the moment the fish takes the bait. SPORTS Capture unexpected highlights while skiing, cycling, skating, playing basketball, football, tennis, and more. TRAVEL & OUTDOOR MOMENTS Record scenery and unexpected moments along the way. BABIES & FAMILY Capture first steps, funny expressions, spontaneous reactions, playtime, and other moments that happen before you have time to press record. PETS Catch your cat or dog running, getting into mischief, or being playful. DRIVING & DASHCAM Use TimeBack as a flexible camera with a replay buffer when you want to preserve something that just happened. Save recent footage without keeping every minute as a permanent video file. 【FAQ】 Q1: What is pre-recording?
 A: Pre-recording is TimeBack's core feature. The camera continuously buffers recent footage. When you press record, the buffered footage and live recording are saved together as one video, capturing the full moment before and after the action. Q2: Does pre-recording use a lot of storage?
 A: No. Buffered footage isn't continuously saved as video files. Only the footage you choose to record is saved. Otherwise, the buffer continuously overwrites itself, using less storage than recording continuously for a long time. Q3: Can I use TimeBack without pre-recording?
 A: Yes. TimeBack also works as a regular camera with 4K video recording, camera controls, and voice control. Simply turn off pre-recording when you don't need it.
