5.2 Loop Recording

When the memory card is full, the loop recording function automatically overwrites the oldest video segments with new ones, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention. Videos are saved in 1, 3, or 5-minute segments.

5.3 G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video footage is automatically locked and protected from being overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.
