2. Operating Your Dash Cam

2.1 Power On/Off

When connected to your vehicle's power outlet, the camera will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle is started. It will power off when the vehicle is turned off.

2.2 Incident Detection and G-Sensor

The 360 G500H automatically saves video footage when it detects an incident, such as a sudden impact or collision, using its built-in G-Sensor. These videos are locked to prevent overwriting.
