4. Parking Modes

The dash cam offers two parking modes for continuous surveillance:

• Collision Detection Parking Mode: The built-in G-sensor detects impacts and automatically locks the video footage to prevent overwriting.
• Time-lapse Parking Mode: Records continuously for 12, 24, or 48 hours, compressing footage into time-lapse videos. (Requires a 3-lead Hardwire Kit, search ASIN: B0BMLLDK8W).

This image details the ARPHA D25 Dash Cam's 24-hour parking mode, showcasing both the collision detection parking mode (triggered by G-sensor) and the time-lapse parking mode (continuous recording for 12/24/48 hours). A hardwire kit is required for this feature.

5. Loop Recording

The dash cam utilizes loop recording, automatically overwriting the oldest unlocked footage when the built-in 128GB eMMC storage is full. Important footage can be manually locked or automatically locked by the G-sensor during collisions to prevent overwriting.

This image demonstrates the emergency lock function of the ARPHA D25 Dash Cam, which automatically saves and protects video footage when a collision is detected by the G-sensor, ensuring critical moments are not lost.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the ARPHA D25 Dash Cam's features, including its 5K recording, built-in eMMC, GPS tracking, smart voice control, user-friendly touch screen, 5.8GHz WiFi, emergency lock, 24-hour parking mode, and wide working temperature range.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.

2. Firmware Updates

Check the ARPHA app periodically for available firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, new features, and bug fixes.

3. Storage Management

While the built-in eMMC automatically manages storage with loop recording, it's good practice to occasionally review and back up important footage to an external device or cloud storage.
