Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The device typically powers on automatically when connected to power and powers off when power is disconnected. You can also manually power on/off by pressing and holding the power button.
- Recording: Once powered on, the camera usually starts recording automatically. A flashing indicator (e.g., red dot) on the screen indicates recording is in progress.
- Mode Switching: Use the "Mode" button to switch between Video Recording, Photo Mode, and Playback Mode.

Video Recording Mode
- Start/Stop Recording: In video mode, press the "OK" button to start or stop recording manually.

- G-Sensor: The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video file to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted in the settings.
- Motion Detection: When enabled, the camera will automatically start recording when it detects movement in front of the lens. This is useful for parking surveillance. Ensure the camera is powered (e.g., via a continuous power supply) for this feature to work when the vehicle is off.
