4.3. G-Sensor Collision Detection

The built-in G-Sensor automatically detects sudden impacts or vibrations. When triggered, it locks the current video segment (including pre- and post-incident footage) to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

4.4. Loop Recording

The dashcam records continuously in a loop. When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. Locked emergency videos are protected from being overwritten.

4.5. 24-Hour Parking Mode

For continuous monitoring when your vehicle is parked and turned off, the 24-Hour Parking Mode can be activated. This feature requires an optional hardwire kit (e.g., UP03 ASIN: B0F8QMWB7Q) to be purchased separately and installed. When active, the dashcam records time-lapse video (1 frame per second) to capture parking incidents or suspicious activity.
