24-Hour Parking Monitor with G-Sensor

The dash cam provides continuous surveillance even when your vehicle is parked:

• Impact Activated: A built-in G-sensor automatically triggers recording if it detects a collision or significant vibration while parked.

Cyclic Recording

This feature ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest files on the memory card when storage is full. This prevents the camera from stopping recording due to lack of space.

G-Sensor (Emergency Lock)

The 3-axis G-Sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or collisions. When such an event occurs, it automatically locks and protects the current video footage, preventing it from being overwritten by cyclic recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

Night Vision

The dash cam is equipped with advanced night vision technology to capture clear and detailed footage even in low-light conditions, ensuring visibility during nighttime driving or parking.

• Power Source: Always use the provided original power cable to ensure stable and sufficient power supply to the dash cam.

8. Troubleshooting
