4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Recording
The dash camera automatically starts recording when powered on. Video files are saved in segments to the SD card.
4.2 Loop Recording
The device utilizes loop recording, which continuously records video. When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten to ensure uninterrupted recording. This feature prevents the recording from stopping due to a full memory card.

4.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder on the SD card.

4.4 24-Hour Parking Monitor
When enabled, the parking monitor function allows the dash camera to detect impacts or motion while your vehicle is parked. If an event is detected, the camera will automatically record a short video clip. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, not included) to function for 24 hours.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners.
- SD Card: Periodically format the SD card (at least once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the camera's settings menu or via the app.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or app for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash camera has the latest features and bug fixes.
6. Troubleshooting
- Camera not powering on:
Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into both the dash camera and the vehicle's 12V power outlet. Check if the vehicle's power outlet is functioning. - Recording stops unexpectedly:
Format the SD card. Ensure the SD card is a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) card. A faulty or slow SD card can cause recording issues. - Video quality is poor:
Clean the camera lens. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens. Check video resolution settings in the camera or app. - Wi-Fi connection issues:
Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the dash camera and your smartphone. Restart both devices. Make sure you are within close proximity to the dash camera. - G-Sensor is too sensitive/not sensitive enough:
Adjust the G-Sensor sensitivity setting in the camera's menu or app.
