Operating Instructions
Automatic Recording
The dashcam automatically begins recording when the vehicle's engine is started. Recording occurs in 3-minute loop cycles. When the SD card is full, the oldest videos will be overwritten by new recordings.
G-Sensor Function
The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. Upon detection, the footage is locked to prevent it from being overwritten, ensuring critical incident evidence is preserved.
24-Hour Parking Mode
When the engine is turned off, the dashcam automatically switches to parking mode. Utilizing time-lapse recording, it continuously monitors your vehicle with low power consumption, providing all-weather protection.
Live Stream and Tracking (via APP)
Download the official mobile application (compatible with Android 8.1 systems). Use the app to view live video streams from both cameras, track your vehicle's real-time position, and review recorded footage. The hotspot feature supports 5-6 cellphones for simultaneous viewing.
