4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Automatic Recording
The dashcam automatically powers on and begins recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will automatically power off shortly after the ignition is turned off.
4.2 Loop Recording
The dashcam utilizes loop recording, continuously recording video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unprotected files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual deletion.
4.3 Emergency Recording (G-Sensor)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current recording segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the MicroSD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These files are crucial for accident evidence.
4.4 GPS Logging
The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's speed, location, and route data. This information is embedded in the video files and can be viewed via the Qubo Pro App, providing valuable context for your recordings.
