5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Recording

The camera automatically starts loop recording when powered on. Older files are overwritten when the memory card is full, except for locked files.

5.2 G-Sensor (Automatic Incident Detection)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked to prevent it from being overwritten during loop recording.

5.3 Parking Monitor Function

When enabled, the parking monitor function allows the camera to automatically record when motion or impact is detected while the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This provides surveillance even when you are away from your vehicle.
