6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle starts. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off.
• Recording: The dash cam continuously records video from the front and rear cameras. The front camera records in 4K, and the rear camera records in 1080P.

6.2 Loop Recording

The dash cam utilizes loop recording. When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

6.3 G-Sensor and Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This feature ensures critical footage is preserved.

6.4 Parking Monitoring

The GT801 offers 24-hour parking monitoring with two modes:

• Collision Detection: Records a 1-minute locked emergency video after a collision is detected while parked.
• Time-lapse Recording: Provides continuous 1fps recording after parking, condensing long recordings into accelerated clips.

Note: Parking Monitoring requires a hardwire kit (not included) for continuous power connection to the vehicle battery.

6.6 Superior Night Vision

  Format the MicroSD card. Ensure you are using a high-speed (Class 10 or U3 recommended) MicroSD card. Replace the MicroSD card if the issue persists.
• Wi-Fi connection issues:
  Ensure Bluetooth is turned off on your smartphone as it may interfere with the Wi-Fi connection. Make sure you are within 10 feet of the dash cam. Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone.
• Parking monitoring not working:
  Verify that a hardwire kit is correctly installed and connected to your vehicle's battery. Ensure parking monitoring is enabled in the dash cam settings.
• GPS signal not found:
  Ensure the dash cam has a clear view of the sky. Move the dash cam away from any metallic objects or electronic devices that might interfere with the GPS signal.
