6.1 Powering On/Off

The dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

6.3 Loop Recording

The dashcam records video in continuous loops. When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

6.4 G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. This feature ensures critical footage is preserved.

6.5 Parking Mode

With an optional hardwire kit (not included), the dashcam can provide 24x7 parking protection. In parking mode, the dashcam can record time-lapse videos or activate upon detecting motion or impact, even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off.
