G-Sensor (Emergency Accident Lock)
The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. When triggered, it locks the current video footage to prevent it from being overwritten, securing critical evidence of an accident.

Loop Recording
This feature ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest unprotected files when the memory card is full. This eliminates the need to manually clear storage space.

Parking Monitoring (24H)
When the vehicle is parked, the dashcam can detect vibrations and automatically start recording. This provides surveillance for your vehicle even when you are away. Note: This feature requires an ACC hardwire kit (not included) to connect the camera directly to the car battery for continuous power.
