5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off.
5.2 Video Recording
- Continuous Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked footage will be overwritten by new recordings.
- 4K UHD Video Quality: Records high-clarity video at 2160P/30fps, ensuring detailed footage.
- WDR Technology: Wide Dynamic Range technology provides clear night vision in various lighting conditions.

5.3 G-Sensor & Emergency Recording
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When a significant event is detected, the dash cam automatically saves and locks the current footage into a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted via the Fitcamx APP.

5.4 Parking Mode
Parking mode provides surveillance when your vehicle is parked. This feature may require an additional harness (e.g., Fuse Box Cable for 24-hour recording or OBD Cable for 24-hour and non-24-hour recording) for full functionality. Consult the Fitcamx APP for specific settings and requirements.
