- Power Connection: Use the Type-C charging cable to connect the dash cam to your vehicle's power outlet (e.g., cigarette lighter). For 24/7 parking monitoring, a hardwire kit (included) is required for continuous power.

Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle starts. It will power off when the engine is turned off (unless 24/7 parking mode is active).
- Recording Modes: The dash cam supports various recording modes including continuous loop recording, emergency recording (G-Sensor activated), and parking monitoring.
- Screen Display: The 3-inch IPS screen displays live views from the cameras. You can switch between camera views using the menu buttons.
Loop Recording
The dash cam records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the earliest recorded video will be automatically deleted to make space for new recordings. This ensures continuous operation without manual intervention.

G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, protecting it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is saved for evidence.
