Operating Your Dash Cam

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 ignition is turned off.

2. Basic Recording Functions

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records, overwriting the oldest unprotected files when the SD card is full. This ensures you never run out of recording space.
• G-Sensor (Automatic Incident Detection): Equipped with a high-sensitivity G-sensor, the dash cam automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions and locks the current video footage to prevent it from being overwritten.
• Super Night Vision: The F/2.0 aperture and 6-glass lens enhance low-light performance, providing brighter and sharper footage day or night.
