5.2 G-Sensor & Loop Recording

• G-Sensor: Automatically detects sudden impacts or hard braking, locking the current footage to prevent overwriting. The sensitivity can be adjusted (1 to 3 levels).

6. Maintenance

• Clean Lenses: Regularly clean the front, interior, and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality.
• SD Card Management: Periodically format the SD card (at least once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Ensure the SD card is a high-quality Class 10 or U3 card.
• Firmware Updates: Check the official GMAIPOP website or the 'Framefox' app for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and component longevity.

7. Troubleshooting

Q: How to set up 24/7 parking mode on F800 dash cam?

A: To enable parking monitoring, you'll need a hardwired kit (not included). This prevents battery drain. Search for ASIN: B0CC9JXNVD for a compatible hardwire kit.

Q: Does it come with a USB/USB-C cable?

A: No, it contains a cigarette lighter end cable. If you have no cigarette lighter, please contact customer support to request a USB/USB-C cable.

Q: Can we live view when we are not by the car?

A: No, the live view function requires a SIM card for network access, and this technology is not yet widely available. The dash cam's Wi-Fi is a hub-type Wi-Fi, which can only be used for data transmission and does not provide internet access.

Q: Will the F800 dash cam record if not connected to Wi-Fi?

A: Yes, the camera works on its own; no connection is needed. Once it's powered on, it automatically records and saves everything to its built-in storage.
