6. Advanced Features

Voice-Activated Recording (VOR)

The device features Voice-Activated Recording (VOR) mode. When enabled, recording automatically starts when sounds above 30dB are detected and pauses when the sound level drops below 30dB. This feature helps conserve memory and battery life by only recording when audio is present.

Noise Cancellation

Equipped with a built-in DPS noise-canceling chip, the recorder effectively reduces environmental noise and interference, ensuring clear and distinct voice recordings.

After setting the device's date and time (see Section 4), all recorded files will automatically include the recording date and time in their filenames. This simplifies the organization and management of your audio files.

Automatic File Segmentation

You can configure the device to automatically segment long recordings into smaller files. Choose segmentation intervals from 10 minutes up to 4 hours. This feature makes reviewing and managing extensive recordings more convenient.
