5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

• Automatic: The camera powers on and off automatically with the vehicle's ignition.
• Manual: Press and hold the 'Turn On/Off Key' for a few seconds to manually power on or off the device.

5.2 Recording Modes

• Video Recording: The default mode. The camera records continuously in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) based on settings.
• Photo Mode: Press the 'Mode' button to switch to photo mode. Press 'OK' to take a picture.
• Playback Mode: Press the 'Mode' button repeatedly to enter playback mode. Use 'Up' and 'Down' buttons to navigate videos/photos, and 'OK' to play/view.

5.3 Menu Navigation

2. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons to scroll through options.
3. Press the 'OK' button to select an option or confirm a setting.
4. Press the 'Menu Button' again to exit the menu.

5.4 Loop Recording

The dash camera records video in continuous loops. When the memory card reaches its capacity, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures that recording never stops due to a full memory card.

5.5 Emergency Accident Lock (G-Sensor)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder on the MicroSD card.

5.6 Parking Monitor

When enabled, the Parking Monitor feature allows the dash camera to automatically power on and record a short video clip if it detects a vibration or impact while your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This provides surveillance for your vehicle when unattended.

5.7 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

WDR technology helps the camera capture optimal video quality in challenging lighting conditions, such as strong backlight or low light. It balances exposure across the frame, ensuring details are visible in both bright and dark areas of the image, improving overall clarity and night vision performance.
