X-Vision Intelligent Night Vision

In parking mode, the surrounding brightness is automatically diagnosed within 5 seconds. The recording brightness is then set to 3 times higher when the surrounding illumination is low. This allows the camera to record bright and clear images not only in parking mode but also in driving mode, enhancing visibility in dark environments.
