6. Recording Functions
6.1 Loop Recording

6.2 G-Sensor (Impact Detection)
In the event of an impact, the built-in G-sensor automatically detects the collision and locks the current video segment (several seconds before and after the impact) into a separate folder. These locked files will not be overwritten by loop recording, preserving crucial evidence.
