- Video Recording:
Both front and rear cameras record in Full HD (1920x1080) at 30 frames per second. The system uses loop recording, automatically overwriting the oldest files when the memory card is full. Important footage can be protected from overwriting by the G-sensor or manual lock.

- Parking Mode:
When parking mode is enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects a collision or significant movement while the vehicle is parked. This requires a continuous power supply.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity and App Control:
Connect the dash cam to your smartphone via Wi-Fi using the dedicated LAMAX app. This allows you to view live footage, download recordings, change settings, and update firmware directly from your phone.
