5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Recording

Once powered on, the 360 G300H Dash Cam automatically starts continuous loop recording. Video files are saved in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) to the Micro SD card. When the card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings.

5.2 1296P Clear Video

The G300H records in 1296P Super High Resolution, ensuring clear and detailed video footage. This higher resolution allows for better clarity, especially when reviewing footage of fast-moving objects or license plates.

5.3 Enhanced Color Night Vision

The G300H features enhanced color night vision, allowing the dash cam to capture video in full color even in low-light conditions, unlike traditional black and white night vision. This provides more detailed and accurate recordings at night.

5.4 160° Super Wide Angle

Equipped with a 160° super wide-angle lens, the dash cam captures a broader field of view, reducing blind spots and recording more details of the surrounding environment. This ensures comprehensive coverage of the road.

5.5 G-Sensor Emergency Locking

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden shakes or collisions. In the event of an impact, the dash cam automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder to ensure critical evidence is preserved.

5.6 24H Parking Monitor

When the vehicle is parked and the dash cam is powered off, the 24H Parking Monitor feature activates. If the G300H detects a shock or vibration, it will automatically power on and begin recording for a short period, providing surveillance and security for your parked vehicle.

5.7 Built-in GPS and Google Map

The dash cam features built-in GPS functionality, allowing it to record driving data such as speed, time, and location. This data can be viewed and tracked on Google Maps via the companion smartphone application, providing a detailed record of your journeys.
