5. Operating the Dash Camera

Understand the core functions of your dash camera for optimal use:

• Automatic Recording: The camera automatically turns on and starts recording when your car starts. It will automatically turn off after 3 seconds when you stop the car.
• Loop Recording: This feature ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest files when the SD card is full. You can set the video segment length (1, 3, or 5 minutes) in the settings.



• G-Sensor (Collision Lock): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is saved.



• Parking Guard: If your car experiences a collision while parked, the dash camera will automatically power on and record a 5-minute video. This function operates without external power supply for short periods due to the built-in battery. For extended parking surveillance, a separate hardwire kit is required.



• Night Vision: The camera is equipped with HDR technology and night vision capabilities to capture clear video even in low-light or nighttime conditions.



• Voice Recording: The dash camera supports voice recording to capture audio within the vehicle cabin. This feature can be toggled on/off in the settings.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash camera:

• SD Card Management: Regularly format the Micro SD card to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. Do not install memory cards larger than 64GB.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that could damage the surfaces.
• Temperature Considerations: The camera is designed to operate within a wide temperature range. However, extreme temperatures (below -40°F or above 158°F) can affect performance.
