Features Explained
Dual 1080p FHD Recording:
The dash cam records simultaneously from both the front and rear cameras in Full HD 1080p resolution, capturing detailed footage of events happening around your vehicle.

Wide Angle Lenses:
The front camera offers a 170-degree wide-angle view, and the rear camera provides a 150-degree view, minimizing blind spots and covering multiple lanes of traffic.

G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor):
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden movements or impacts (e.g., collisions). When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is preserved as evidence.

Loop Recording:
The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unprotected files are automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

Parking Monitor & Motion Detection:
When enabled, the parking monitor feature uses motion detection to automatically start recording if movement or impact is detected around your parked vehicle. This provides surveillance even when the car is off. For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, a dedicated hardwire kit (sold separately) is required.

Super Night Vision & WDR:
Equipped with advanced optical sensors and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, the dash cam enhances video clarity in low-light conditions, ensuring details are visible during night driving or in adverse weather.

Maintenance
- Clean Lenses: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality.
- MicroSD Card: Format the MicroSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important files before formatting.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and device performance.
