4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power On/Off and Basic Recording
- Once connected to the car's power supply, the dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle starts.
- It will automatically power off and save the recording when the vehicle is turned off.
- Manual power on/off can be done via the power button on the device.
4.2 WiFi and App Control
The Biuone A20Pro features built-in WiFi for seamless connection to your smartphone via a dedicated app.
- Download the "Biuone Dash Cam" app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- Turn on the dash cam's WiFi function through its menu settings.
- On your smartphone, connect to the dash cam's WiFi network (SSID and password will be displayed on the dash cam screen).

4.3 Loop Recording
The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.4 G-Sensor (Emergency Lock)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident footage is preserved.
- Adjust the G-sensor sensitivity in the settings menu (Low, Medium, High, Off). A "Low" setting is often recommended to avoid excessive locked files from minor bumps.
- Regularly review and delete unnecessary locked files to free up space on the SD card.
