5.3 Extended Emergency Recording

The dash cam provides an extended emergency video pre-recording solution.

5.4 24-Hour Parking Surveillance & G-Sensor

When paired with the 70mai UP03 Type-C Hardwire Kit (sold separately), the G-sensor detects sudden shakes or collisions while parked, automatically initiating recording.
