7.1. Dual Recording (2.5K Front + 1080P Rear)

7.4. 24-Hour Parking Mode & Collision Lock (G-Sensor)

The dash cam features a built-in G-sensor that automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions while driving or parked. In parking mode, it records critical footage to protect your vehicle. For 24-hour parking monitoring, an additional hardwire kit (ASIN: B0D12D7HSC) is required and sold separately.

7.5. Loop Recording

Loop recording ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest unlocked files when the MicroSD card is full. This guarantees that you always have the most recent footage available.

8. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam.

8.1. Formatting the MicroSD Card

It is recommended to format the MicroSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. This can typically be done through the DDPAI App's device settings.

8.2. Cleaning the Lenses

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the front and rear camera lenses. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens coating.

8.3. Firmware Updates

Regularly check for firmware updates via the DDPAI App. Firmware updates often include performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features. Follow the app's instructions for a safe update process.

8.4. Super Capacitor Technology

The DDPAI N3 Pro utilizes a built-in super capacitor instead of a traditional lithium battery. This technology offers enhanced durability and safety, especially in extreme temperatures ranging from -4°F to 158°F, preventing issues like battery bulging or overheating.
