4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Recording Modes

• Continuous Recording (Loop Recording): In this mode, the camera records continuously. When the Micro SD card memory is full, the oldest video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted surveillance.
• Motion Detection Recording: The camera will automatically begin recording when motion is detected within its field of view. Recording stops when motion ceases, conserving storage space and battery life.
