Critical events like vehicle impact or collision trigger the G-Sensor, automatically locking and saving the current video clip into the "Video/Event" folder to prevent overwriting. You can also manually lock the current recording by double-clicking the Remote Controller, which will prompt "emergency recording". G-Sensor sensitivity is adjustable (Low, Medium, High) and can be deactivated. Event videos are stored in the "Notfall" (Emergency) folder and are not automatically overwritten.

The default loop recording time is 1 minute, adjustable in the app's Video segmentation setting (1, 2, 3, 5 minutes). Loop recording files are named "Year_Date_Time_Serial" and stored in the "Video/Normal" folder. When the microSD card is full, the camera overwrites older files.

4.7 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)

The dash cam features ADAS, providing real-time intelligent lane departure warnings and forward collision warnings to enhance traffic safety. Forward collision warnings alert when driving too close to the vehicle ahead, and lane departure warnings alert if the vehicle drifts off-road or crosses lanes.

4.8 Parking Mode

Parking Mode acts as a sentry function.

Upon detecting movement, the camera starts auto-recording and stops after 10 seconds of inactivity. The camera exits Parking Mode if it detects itself being moved. To ensure functionality, power the camera with a mobile power bank or hardwire it to the car battery. Avoid continuous operation for more than 10 hours.
