• Manual Recording: Press the Record button to manually start/stop recording.
• Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically trigger an emergency recording. These files are locked and will not be overwritten by loop recording.

The MDC300 features Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to connect your smartphone via the Hubble app for wireless video management.

5.3 GPS Functionality

The integrated GPS receiver automatically records your vehicle's location, speed, and time data. This information is embedded in the video files and can be viewed during playback on the dash cam or through the Hubble app/compatible computer software.

5.4 Parking Monitoring

With its internal 250 mAh battery, the MDC300 can monitor your vehicle even when parked. If the G-sensor detects an impact while the vehicle is off, the dash cam will automatically power on and record a short video clip.

The MDC300 includes ADAS features to enhance driving safety:

• Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts you if your vehicle drifts out of its lane without signaling.
