4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Automatic Start and Recording
The Denver CCT-1650 Dashcam features an automatic start function. When connected to your vehicle's power supply, the dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle engine starts. It will save the current recording and power off when the engine is turned off.
4.2 Loop Recording
The dashcam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
4.3 G-Sensor Function
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted in the settings menu.
4.4 Video Playback
- Stop recording if currently active.
- Press the Menu button to enter the menu, then navigate to the Playback mode.
- Use the Up/Down buttons to browse through recorded videos.
- Press the OK button to play a selected video.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dashcam body and lens. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- MicroSD Card: It is recommended to format the MicroSD card every 2-4 weeks to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Format the card using the dashcam's menu settings.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dashcam to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and device performance.
