4.7 Loop Recording & G-Sensor
The dash cam records in 3-minute segments. When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked videos are overwritten. The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts or collisions, locking the current footage to prevent it from being overwritten. These locked files are saved in the "Event" folder.

5. 24-Hour Parking Monitoring
When your vehicle is parked and turned off, the dash cam can enter parking mode for 24-hour surveillance. This function requires a separate hardwire kit (ASIN: B0BV2CJ5SW) for continuous power.
- Collision Detection: If a collision is detected, the camera will automatically power on and record a 1-minute protected video.
- Radar Intelligent Monitoring: In the car-off state, the system monitors objects within 3-4 meters. If movement is detected, it records for 1 minute. If movement continues, it records until the object leaves the monitored area, then shuts down.
