4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

• Automatic: The dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's engine starts and power is supplied. It will power off automatically when the engine is turned off.
• Manual: Press and hold the Power button to manually turn the dashcam on or off.

4.2 Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dashcam will automatically start recording in a continuous loop. The screen will display the live view from the selected camera(s).

4.3 Loop Recording

The dashcam records video in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) and stores them on the Micro-SD card. When the card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

This image visually explains the loop recording function of the Bestsee M22PRO dashcam. It shows the dashcam unit with a circular arrow symbolizing continuous recording, and highlights the included 64GB SD card, which facilitates this feature by overwriting older files when full.

This diagram explains the concept of endless loop recording for the Bestsee M22PRO dashcam, showing a 24-hour cycle. It also correlates different SD card capacities (32GB, 64GB, 128GB) with approximate recording durations (2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours respectively), indicating how storage impacts continuous recording.

4.4 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate folder on the SD card.

4.5 Parking Monitor

When enabled, the Parking Monitor feature allows the dashcam to continue surveillance even when your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. It can detect impacts or motion around the vehicle and automatically start recording. This feature requires a continuous power supply, typically achieved through an optional hardwire kit (not included).

It also includes smaller inset images depicting scenarios like potential theft or impact, emphasizing the continuous surveillance provided. A hardwire kit, necessary for this feature, is also shown.

4.6 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

WDR technology enhances video quality in challenging lighting conditions, such as strong backlighting or low light. It balances exposure to capture clearer details in both bright and dark areas of the frame.
