Parking Monitor (Parking Surveillance Mode)
The Parking Monitor provides surveillance for your parked vehicle. When the engine is off, the hardwire kit provides continuous power and protects your car battery from discharge.
Option 1: Vibration Detection
To enable the Parking Monitor using Vibration Detection, connect it with a Rexing Smart Hardwire Kit (sold separately).
This feature allows the dash cam to automatically switch to parking mode when the vehicle's engine turns off and return to normal recording when the engine turns on.
Gravity Sensing Record: The Gravity Sensing feature detects significant or sudden movement (like an impact or collision) and triggers an event recording. Rexing suggests setting "Gravity Sensing" to High sensitivity for Parking Mode Recording.
Diagram illustrating the wiring connections for the hardwire kit: Battery (red wire), ACC (yellow wire), and Ground (black wire).
Important Notes:
- If you do not use the parking mode function, set the Gravity Sensing sensitivity to low. Otherwise, videos may be locked and cannot be deleted by loop recording, potentially filling the memory card and causing the recorder to malfunction.
- DO NOT ENABLE the Parking Monitor function without connecting a smart hardwire kit, as this may cause a malfunction.
Option 2: Motion Detection
To use Motion Detection, connect with a Rexing Intelligent Hardwire Kit (sold separately). Ensure that the Parking Mode is turned off on your dash cam, otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
Once the sensor detects motion, the intelligent hardwire kit will power up the dash cam automatically and start recording until the motion is cleared.
