5.1. 4K Front & 1080P Rear Video

The dash cam records in stunning 4K (2160P/30fps) for the front camera and 1080P for the rear camera, capturing clear and detailed footage. Upgraded with f/1.8 big aperture lens and CMOS IMX335 chip, it provides excellent image performance in various lighting conditions.

This image showcases the high-resolution recording capabilities, with the front camera capturing in 4K UHD and the rear camera in 1080P, ensuring critical details are visible.

5.2. Built-in WiFi & Mobile App

Connect your dash cam to your smartphone via built-in Wi-Fi using the free dedicated app. This allows for real-time video viewing, footage download, and easy sharing.

The mobile app provides convenient access to your dash cam. You can preview live footage, quickly download important videos to your phone, and easily share them.

5.3. Loop Recording

Seamless loop recording ensures continuous operation by overwriting the oldest footage with new content when the memory card is full. This prevents the recording from stopping due to a full card.

Loop recording automatically manages storage. The graphic indicates approximate recording durations: 2 hours for 32GB, 4 hours for 64GB, and 8 hours for 128GB, before older files are overwritten.

5.4. G-Sensor (Automatic Incident Detection)

The built-in G-Sensor automatically detects sudden collisions or impacts. In such an event, it immediately saves and locks the current video footage to a specified folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.

5.5. Parking Monitor

When enabled (requires optional OBD Power Adapter or Fuse Box Power Adapter), the parking monitor automatically switches to parking mode and provides 24-hour protection for your vehicle by recording events while parked.

The parking monitor feature provides 24-hour surveillance for your vehicle when parked, automatically recording incidents. Note that this feature requires an optional power adapter.

5.6. Night Vision

Equipped with an f/1.8 big aperture lens and CMOS IMX335 chip, the dash cam delivers enhanced night vision capabilities, ensuring clear video recording even in low-light conditions.

The dash cam's advanced night vision technology, featuring a Sony Sensor and f/1.8 aperture, ensures clear and detailed recordings during nighttime driving.
