Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Viewing Footage: Access recorded videos directly through the interface on your compatible Eonon Android car stereo. The dashcam's application will typically launch automatically or can be found in your stereo's app menu.

Loop Recording

The dashcam utilizes seamless loop recording. When the MicroSD card reaches its full capacity, the oldest video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous operation without manual intervention.

Locking Important Footage

In the event of a sudden impact or emergency, the built-in G-Sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment. This prevents the footage from being overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.
