8 Function Introduction

Parking Monitoring

The recorder is connected to the fuse box through the hardwire kit cable to obtain power, which can realize the function of parking monitoring.

Parking monitoring, that is, when the vehicle is parked and turned off, the recorder is still in working state. Through the recorded video, you can check whether the vehicle has collided during the parking and turning off.

Note: The Hardwire kit cable needs to be purchased separately or a package including the hardwire kit cable; the operation of connecting the fuse box to get electricity is complicated. To avoid vehicle damage caused by misoperation, please complete the installation at a professional car service point.

The default parking monitoring recording mode of the recorder is "time-lapse recording", and supports three parking monitoring recording modes of "Time-lapse video", "Normal Record" and "Sleep".

Time-lapse video captures one frame per second, and plays at a speed of 30 frames per second. Time-lapse video can extend the recording time. The same memory card can extend the recording time by 30 times under the same state. Compared with ordinary video recording, time-lapse video takes up less memory and speeds up viewing.

Declare:

1. Select time-lapse video for parking monitoring video mode. After 15 minutes of parking, the Wi-Fi of the recorder will be turned off.
2. You can check how to set the collision sensitivity of the recorder in Setting Collision Sensitivity.
3. In normal recording, within the set recording duration, if a collision occurs, the recorder will not exit the parking monitoring, and the recorder will generate associated photos and associated videos.
4. In the time-lapse video recording, if there is a collision within the set recording time, the recorder will not exit the parking monitoring, and the recorder will generate an associated photo.
5. Select "Sleep" to turn off the parking monitoring function. After the flame is turned off, the recorder does not work and does not record video. If a collision occurs, the recorder was awakened.
6. Parking monitoring video mode selection: time-lapse video/normal video.

Collision Latch

When the recorder is in working state, it detects a collision (such as emergency braking of vehicles or emergency situations such as collision), which will trigger a photo to generate an emergency photo and an emergency related video, which will be stored separately and will not be covered by the normal recording cycle.

The higher the collision sensitivity of the recorder is, the easier it is to trigger the photo; the lower the sensitivity of the recorder, the less likely it is to trigger the photo.
