4. Operation
Basic Recording and Loop Recording
The dash cam automatically begins recording when powered on. It records in Full HD 1080p for the front camera. The loop recording function ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest files when the memory card is full. Important videos can be manually locked to prevent them from being overwritten.

Motion Detection for Parking Surveillance
When activated, the dash cam detects movement around the vehicle and automatically starts recording. This feature provides surveillance even when the vehicle is parked, capturing any suspicious activity.

Night Vision
The dash cam features high-intensity night vision technology and exposure adjustment to ensure clear recordings in low-light conditions or complete darkness, improving visibility during night driving.
Rear Camera and Reverse Assistance
The included rear camera provides a 120° wide-angle view. When the vehicle is put into reverse (if wired correctly), the rear camera view automatically displays on the dash cam screen with guide lines to assist with safe parking maneuvers.

Wide Angle View
The front camera offers a 150° wide-angle view, and the rear camera provides a 120° wide-angle view. This broad coverage helps eliminate blind spots and captures a comprehensive view of the road and surroundings.

Cleaning the Device

6. Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Check the power connection and ensure the vehicle's power outlet is functioning. Try a different power source if available.
