6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Automatic Recording

Once powered on and with a valid microSD card inserted, the PNI Voyager S2600 will automatically begin loop recording. Video files are saved in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) to the microSD card.

6.2. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate folder on the microSD card.

6.3. Parking Monitoring

When the vehicle is parked and the dash cam is powered (either continuously via CIG mode or with a hardwire kit), the parking monitor function activates. If the G-sensor detects a collision or motion detection is enabled and detects movement, the dash cam will automatically power on and record a short video segment. This feature helps protect your vehicle when unattended.
