3. Loop Recording
The dash cam utilizes seamless loop recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest footage will be automatically overwritten by new content. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
- Recording duration varies by SD card size:
- 32GB: Approximately 2 hours
- 64GB: Approximately 4 hours
- 128GB: Approximately 8 hours

4. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such an event, it automatically saves and locks the current video footage into a dedicated folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.
