5. Operating Instructions

Your ZKCAMSPY RM Dash Camera is designed for user-friendly operation:

• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically starts continuous loop recording.
• G-Sensor Activation: In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording.
