The dash cam offers two parking monitoring modes:

• Collision Detection Parking Mode: The G-Sensor detects impacts and automatically records a 1-minute emergency video.

5.4 G-Sensor & Loop Recording

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden movements or impacts and automatically locks the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten. Loop recording ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest unlocked footage when the SD card is full.
