4.2.4 G-Sensor
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. In such events, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident footage is preserved.
4.2.5 Loop Recording
The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 2, or 3-minute segments). When the 32GB MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.2.6 Parking Monitor
When the vehicle is parked, the parking monitor feature can detect impacts and automatically record a short video segment. This requires a continuous power supply (e.g., via a hardwire kit, sold separately) to function when the vehicle is off.
4.2.7 Reverse Assist
When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the display automatically switches to the rear camera view, showing parking guidelines. These guidelines can be adjusted by swiping up and down on the touchscreen to match your vehicle's dimensions, aiding in safer parking maneuvers.

4.2.8 WDR Night Vision
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology optimizes video quality in varying light conditions, particularly in low-light environments. This ensures that details are captured clearly during nighttime driving, reducing overexposure and underexposure.
