4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Recording Modes

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked footage is overwritten.
• Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor automatically detects the event and locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These files are stored in a separate folder.
