4. Initial Setup and Operation

4.1 Powering On and Off

Once connected to the car's power supply, the dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle starts. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off.

4.2 Basic Recording

The dash cam records continuously in a loop. The front camera records in 4K UHD, and the rear camera records in 2K/1440P. Videos are saved to the pre-installed 64GB SD card.

4.3 Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in segments (1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.4 G-Sensor / Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files serve as critical evidence.

4.5 Mute Function

The dash cam includes a mute function to disable audio recording when desired. Refer to the Quick Guide or the app settings for instructions on how to activate/deactivate this feature.

5. Parking Mode

The 24-hour parking surveillance mode protects your vehicle when parked. This feature requires a hardwire kit (sold separately) for continuous power supply.

5.1 Time Lapse Recording

When the ignition is off, the dash cam can record footage at a low frame rate (1fps/3fps) to conserve memory and power. This provides a condensed overview of events during parking.

5.2 Collision Detection Mode

If an impact is detected while parked, the dash cam will wake up and record for 30 seconds, locking the footage as evidence. This ensures incidents like hit-and-runs are captured.

Gently clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
