3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Power On/Off

• The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on.
• It will automatically power off when the ignition is turned off.
• To manually power on/off, press and hold the power button located on the side of the unit.

3.2 Touch Screen Controls

The 11-inch UHD touch screen allows for intuitive control:

• Swipe Left/Right: Change the camera view displayed (front, rear, split-screen).
• Swipe Up/Down (Left side of screen): Adjust the vertical viewing angle of the camera.
• Swipe Up/Down (Right side of screen): Adjust screen brightness.
• Tap Icons: Access various functions and settings directly on the screen.

3.3 Recording Modes

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such events, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording.
• Parking Monitor: When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam can monitor for impacts. With a hardwire kit (sold separately), it can provide up to 48 hours of parking monitoring, recording at a low frame rate (3-5 frames per second) to conserve storage.

3.6 WDR+HDR Super Night Vision

The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, combined with a high-sensitivity sensor and six-layer glass lens, enhances night vision. This allows the camera to capture clear and vivid video in both strong and low-light conditions, reducing glare from headlights and improving overall visibility at night.
