• To manually power on/off, press and hold the power button on the side of the unit.

2. Basic Controls (Buttons)

The buttons on the bottom of the dash cam allow for direct control and menu navigation:

• Menu Button: Accesses the system settings.

4. Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in continuous loops (1, 2, or 3 minutes per segment). When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

5. Time-Lapse Recording

Enable time-lapse recording in the system settings to condense long periods of footage into shorter videos, saving storage space while maintaining surveillance.

6. G-Sensor (Collision Detection)

The built-in G-Sensor automatically detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it locks the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.

7. Parking Monitoring (24/7 Protection)

With a hardwire kit (required and sold separately), the dash cam can provide 24/7 parking surveillance. It uses motion detection and impact alerts to automatically record incidents when your car is off, acting as a security camera for your vehicle.
