recording all the time if Parking Monitor & Motion Detect is on, so the SD card will
be full.
4) You must format to clear up your memor y card file by hand at least 2~3 times within a
month because the memor y card inside will have some locked file that happen while
driving at some emergency time, but this locked files can not be over write
automatically. You must delete them by hand.

to Parking Monitor mode, in this mode status, dvr will auto on once detect any

continuously.
G-Sensor this function also will lock this status video file to avoid no over writes then it can
keep as parking evidence. Please turn off this 2 function in MENU settings then tr y again.
At the same time, please turn off Motion Detect this function in MENU settings also, because
