4. Operation
4.1 Automatic Recording
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle engine starts. It will also automatically power off when the engine is turned off.
4.2 WiFi and Mobile App
The FITCAMX app allows you to connect to your dash cam via Wi-Fi for real-time viewing, video playback, and managing recorded footage. You can download the app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Connecting to WiFi: Connect your smartphone to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password typically found on the camera or in the quick start guide).
- Viewing Footage: Once connected, open the FITCAMX app to view live footage, browse recorded videos, and adjust settings.
- Downloading Videos: Select desired videos within the app to download them to your phone.
Important Note: The camera's Wi-Fi is for local connection only and does not support remote viewing when the car is off. The dash cam records automatically, so you do not need to keep your phone connected to its Wi-Fi constantly. Using CarPlay or Bluetooth will not interfere with the dash cam's recording function.

4.3 Loop Recording and G-Sensor
- Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in short segments. When the MicroSD card reaches its capacity, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings.
- G-Sensor: In the event of a sudden impact, collision, or abrupt braking, the built-in G-Sensor detects the event and automatically locks the current video file. This prevents the locked footage from being overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.

4.4 Parking Monitoring (Optional)
To enable parking monitoring functionality, an additional fuse box cable (ASIN: B09PQ9KDYX) is required. This accessory allows the dash cam to record events while the vehicle is parked.

5.2 Troubleshooting FAQs
- Q: Do I need to connect the camera's WiFi every time I drive?
- A: No. The dash cam will automatically turn on and off with your car engine, recording continuously without requiring a Wi-Fi connection.
- Q: Can I view video after turning off the car or remotely?
