5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin continuous loop recording. Video files are saved to the Micro SD card. When the card is full, the oldest unprotected files will be overwritten.

5.2 GPS Functionality

The built-in GPS module records your vehicle's speed and location data, embedding this information into the video files. This data can be viewed during playback using compatible software on a computer or via the smartphone app.

• Disabling GPS: If you wish to disable GPS recording, navigate to the settings menu on the dash cam and turn off the GPS option.

5.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The G-Sensor detects sudden impacts, hard braking, or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate folder on the Micro SD card.

5.4 Wi-Fi and Smartphone App Control

The dash cam features built-in Wi-Fi, allowing you to connect it to your smartphone via a dedicated app (available for Apple and Android devices). This app enables:

• Live view of the camera feed.
• Playback and download of recorded videos.
• Adjustment of dash cam settings.
