emergency file records over the oldest emergency files.
Collision Detection
You can determine how strong a collision needs to be for automatic
collision recording to start. Set the G-Sensor level in Menu/Function
Setting/Collision Detection. The device saves the currently recording file
to the Emergency folder as an emergency file.
Collision Detection applies to vehicles that are moving. It does not apply
to vehicles in Parking Mode, where the vehicle’s engine is turned off and
Parking Mode is active.
Parking Mode
Parking Mode lets you set recording parameters for a parked car
(Menu/Function Setting/Parking Mode). The Parking Mode menu
provides 3 options:
• Off. Turn off Parking Mode and no recordings will be triggered.
• Parking Monitor. Select this to allow collision recording for the parked
vehicle. Files are saved as video files in the Video folder.
• Motion Detection. Select this to allow motion detection for the parked
vehicle. Files are saved as video files in the Video folder. After the
vehicle engine stops (turns off), the device begins recording at that point
regardless of motion is detected. Recording stops after about 10 seconds
and the file becomes a reference to motion detection.
