Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The device automatically powers on when the vehicle starts and powers off when the vehicle is turned off. You can also manually power it on/off using the Power Button.
- Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically begins recording. Video files are saved to the inserted memory card.
- Display Modes: The 3.16-inch IPS touchscreen allows you to view real-time footage. You can manually switch between front, rear, side, or split-screen views for comprehensive monitoring.
- Menu Navigation: Use the "M" button to access the menu, and the "Up" and "Down" buttons to navigate. The "OK" button confirms selections.
Key Features
- Loop Recording: When the memory card is full, the system automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files to continue recording.
- Motion Detection: When enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects movement near the stationary vehicle. This feature is useful for parking surveillance.
- G-Sensor: The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such an event, the current video footage is automatically locked to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording.
- Night Vision: Equipped with 8 infrared LEDs and light compensation, the dash cam provides clear video recording even in low-light conditions or at night.
- Wide Viewing Angle: The front camera offers a 150-degree viewing angle, while the side and rear cameras provide 120-degree coverage, minimizing blind spots.
