Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Loop Recording: The camera records continuously, overwriting the oldest files when the microSD card is full. Important locked videos are protected from being overwritten.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): In case of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten.
• Parking Surveillance: With an optional hardwire kit (not included), the camera can monitor your vehicle for impacts even when parked, recording events to protect your vehicle.
