5.3 Loop Recording
The dash cam features seamless loop recording. When the MicroSD card is full, the system automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files to make space for new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
- Supports MicroSD cards up to 128GB. A 64GB card is included.
5.4 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, the dash cam automatically records and locks the current video segment, protecting it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate, protected folder on the MicroSD card.
