5.4 G-Sensor and Emergency Lock
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident evidence is preserved.
5.5 Loop Recording
Loop recording ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest unlocked footage with new video once the memory card reaches its capacity. This eliminates the need for manual memory card management.

5.6 24 Hours Motion Activated Parking Mode
When enabled, this mode allows the dash cam to monitor your vehicle for motion or impact even when parked. If motion or an impact is detected, the dash cam will automatically start recording. A Mini USB hardwire kit (not included) is required for this function to provide continuous power.
5.7 Wide-Angle Field of View
The dash cam offers a total 310° wide-angle field of view, with 170° for the front camera and 140° for the interior camera, providing extensive coverage of your surroundings and cabin.

6. Maintenance
- Memory Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's menu settings.
- Lens Cleaning: Gently clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates. Updates can improve performance and add new features.
7. Troubleshooting
