3. Recording Modes
- Loop Recording: The dashcam continuously records, overwriting the oldest files when the memory card is full.
- Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically lock the current video footage, preventing it from being overwritten.
- Parking Monitor: When the vehicle is parked and the dashcam detects a collision, it will automatically record a 20-second video. This feature requires a continuous power supply (hardwire kit, sold separately, may be needed for 24/7 monitoring).
