5.5. Loop Recording & G-Sensor Protection

The dash cam continuously records, overwriting the oldest footage when the SD card is full (in 1/3/5 minute segments). The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions, automatically locking and protecting critical video segments from being overwritten.

6. Parking Monitoring

The 24-hour parking monitoring feature provides continuous surveillance of your vehicle when parked. It automatically detects collisions and initiates recording. Note: Activating the Parking Monitor feature requires the purchase of an add-on kit.

6.1. Hardwire Kit (Optional)

For 24/7 uninterrupted recording, a hardwire kit is recommended. This kit connects directly to your car battery, providing constant power and low voltage protection. It compresses parking monitoring to 1 frame per second (1fps) to optimize storage.

Compatible Hardwire Kit: B0D4J2S1N

6.2. OBD-5S Installation (Optional)

The OBD-5S kit connects directly to your vehicle's OBD-II interface, providing stable power without breaking wires or using the cigarette lighter. It automatically switches to parking monitoring when the engine is turned off and detects collisions.

Compatible OBD-5S Kit: B0D4J35WZ8
