4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Recording Modes
The D30 Dash Cam supports various recording modes:
- Normal Recording: Automatically starts recording when the vehicle is powered on. Footage is saved in 1 or 3-minute clips.
- Loop Recording: When the memory card is full, the dash cam will automatically overwrite the oldest unlocked video files to make space for new recordings.
- Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.

4.2 Parking Monitoring
The dash cam offers two methods for 24-hour parking monitoring (requires a hardwire kit, not included in the standard package):
- Collision Detection: If a collision or crash occurs while parked, the dash cam will automatically turn on and record a 1-minute video, then power off.
- Time-Lapse Recording: This function allows continuous recording with extremely low power consumption while the engine is off, capturing events over extended periods.

When the screen saver is active, the display can show recording status (red blinking dot), current driving speed, compass direction, time, and date.
5. Maintenance and Care
