3. Operation

3.1. Power On/Off

• The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (if connected to the 12V power outlet).
• It will automatically power off when the ignition is turned off.
• You can manually power the device on or off using the power button located on the mirror unit.

3.2. Basic Recording and Display Modes

• Upon powering on, the dash cam automatically starts continuous loop recording. Video files are saved in 1 or 3-minute segments.

3.3. Loop Recording

3.4. G-Sensor and Emergency Recording

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. This footage serves as critical evidence in case of an accident.

3.5. 24-Hour Parking Monitoring and Time-Lapse

With the included hardwire kit, the dash cam can provide 24-hour parking monitoring. When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam can enter parking mode, recording at 1 frame per second (time-lapse) to conserve power and storage space. This feature helps protect against theft or vandalism.
