When parking monitoring is enabled, the device will automatically start recording if it detects a shock or motion while the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, not included) or sufficient internal battery charge.

6.4 Night Vision

The front camera's SC2363 sensor and 4-layer glass lens, combined with the rear camera's capabilities, enhance video clarity in low-light conditions, ensuring better visibility during twilight and night driving.
