7. Key Features Explained
The Fitcamx 4K Dash Cam is equipped with several advanced features to ensure comprehensive and reliable recording.

7.1. 4K UHD Video Quality
Equipped with a f/1.6 large aperture lens and a CMOS sensor, the dash cam records in Ultra High Definition (UHD) 2160P at 30 frames per second. This ensures excellent video clarity, rich detail, and superior dynamic range, even in varying light conditions.
7.2. Loop Recording
When the memory card reaches its full capacity, the loop recording function automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked footage with new content. This ensures continuous recording without the need for manual memory card management.
7.3. G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In the event of a significant shake or collision, the sensor automatically triggers the dash cam to save the current footage to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is secured.

The dash cam comes with a 64GB MicroSD card included. It supports memory cards up to a maximum capacity of 256GB.
7.5. Temperature Resistance
Constructed from high-density ABS+PC materials, the Fitcamx dash cam is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures, operating reliably from -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F).
Important Note: This dash cam does NOT include a parking mode feature.
8. Maintenance and Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Fitcamx dash cam, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean the Lens: Regularly wipe the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video recording. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Memory Card Management: While loop recording manages storage, it is recommended to periodically format the memory card (via the app or a computer) to maintain its performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
- Keep Dry: Ensure the dash cam remains dry and away from excessive moisture.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Although designed for wide temperature ranges, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold when the vehicle is off can affect battery life and component integrity.
