• Manual: Press and hold the Power Button to manually turn the dash cam on or off.

6.2. Recording Modes and Features

The Milerong Dash Cam offers several recording features to ensure comprehensive coverage:

• G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): 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. Adjust the G-Sensor sensitivity in the settings if you experience frequent accidental locking.

• Parking Monitor: When enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects motion or impact while your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This provides surveillance for potential incidents when you are away from your car.
