6. Operation

6.1 Basic Recording

• The dash cam automatically starts recording when powered on.
• Front camera records in 4K (2160P) and the rear camera in 2.5K (1440P).
• Recordings are saved to the MicroSD card in segments due to loop recording.

6.2 Loop Recording

The dash cam utilizes seamless loop recording. When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. Emergency locked files are protected from being overwritten.

6.3 G-Sensor and Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock a video segment by pressing the designated button on the dash cam.

6.4 24-Hour Parking Mode

To enable 24-hour parking mode, a hardwire kit (sold separately) is required. Once installed, you can choose between two parking monitoring options:

• Impact-Triggered Monitoring: The dash cam records when vibrations or impacts are detected while parked.
• Time-Lapse Mode: Records continuously at a low frame rate, providing efficient surveillance with minimal power consumption.

Note: The hardwire kit is not included in the standard package. Please contact seller customer service for more details on purchasing the hardwire kit.
