4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Automatic Power On/Off

The IROAD X5 Dash Cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

4.2 Recording Modes

• Continuous Recording: The dash cam continuously records while driving. Older files are overwritten by new ones when the MicroSD card is full.
• Impact Recording: When the G-Sensor detects a sudden impact or collision, the dash cam automatically saves the current recording segment as an event file, preventing it from being overwritten.
• Parking Recording: When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam enters parking mode. It records events triggered by motion detection or impacts.
• Motion Detection Recording: In parking mode, the camera records when motion is detected in its field of view.

• Lane Departure Warning (LDWS): Alerts you if your vehicle drifts out of its lane.
• Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW): Notifies you when the vehicle in front starts moving from a stop.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCWS): Warns you of a potential collision with a vehicle ahead.

These features can be configured via the IROAD smartphone application.
