5. Features Deep Dive
5.1 Dual Storage Protection (eMMC & TF Card)
The DDPAI Z60 features D²Save 2.0 technology with a built-in 32GB eMMC internal storage. This acts as a backup, automatically switching recordings to internal storage if the external TF card (up to 512GB supported) is damaged or missing, ensuring no critical video evidence is lost.

5.2 Super AI ISP Night Vision 2.0
Equipped with DDPAI's proprietary AI ISP & Realcube technologies, a large F1.8 aperture, and six high-transparency optical lenses, the Z60 delivers clear, full-color night vision, reducing blur and noise in low-light conditions, especially for parking monitoring.

5.3 Extended 7-Day AOV Parking Mode
AI technology enables low-energy time-lapse recording for up to 7 days of parking surveillance. In sleep mode, monitoring can extend up to 20 days. AOV technology saves energy while instantly activating recording upon abnormal activity. IPS low-voltage protection prevents vehicle battery drain. A hardwire kit (ASIN: B0F21Z5V7D) is required for this feature.

5.4 Built-in G-Sensor for Emergency Accident Lock
In the event of a collision, the built-in G-Sensor automatically locks the surrounding 10 seconds of video footage, preserving critical evidence and preventing it from being overwritten.

5.5 Loop Recording
The dash cam supports loop recording, automatically overwriting the oldest files when the memory card is full. This ensures continuous recording without manual deletion. The included 128GB card provides ample storage for extended recording times.

5.6 Super Capacitor for Reliability
Unlike traditional batteries, the Z60 uses a super capacitor, providing 3-4 seconds of backup power after a sudden power interruption. This prevents critical video evidence loss during collisions and ensures reliable operation in extreme temperatures (-20°C to 70°C).

6. Maintenance
- SD Card Management: Periodically check the SD card for errors or corruption. Format the SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent recording issues.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lenses and screen. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Firmware Updates: Check the DDPAI app regularly for firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
7. Troubleshooting
- "Storage card has been unplugged" error: Ensure the Micro-SD card is properly inserted. If the error persists, try reformatting the card or using a different compatible card.
- Incorrect Date/Time: Connect the dash cam to the DDPAI app via Wi-Fi. The app can automatically calibrate the device time. Alternatively, adjust the time settings manually through the dash cam's system settings menu.
- Parking Monitoring Not Working: Ensure the optional hardwire kit (ASIN: B0F21Z5V7D) is correctly installed and connected to your vehicle's power source.
- App Connection Issues: Ensure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your phone and the dash cam. Restart both devices and try connecting again.
