Turn on the camera
The camera turns on automatically when it receives power
through the USB port and turns off in seconds if it fails. If
you only supply power to the camera when the vehicle is
running, it will turn on and off together with the vehicle.
If you supply power to the camera continuously, you will
instead have to turn the camera on and off manually by
holding down the front power button (7) for a few
seconds.
The camera has an internal battery which is used to allow
the camera to stop safely when the power fails and also to
operate in parking mode. The battery does not have
sufficient capacity to allow normal use without power.
Turn off the dashcam and monitor
To turn off the camera completely, press and hold the ON
/ OFF button (7) for a few seconds.
ATTENTION. If the GUARD / PARKING function is active,
the camera restarts automatically when a shock is
detected.
To turn off the screen only and keep the camera running,
briefly press the ON / OFF button (7)
Start recording
If you have inserted an SD card into the dashcam,
recording starts automatically on startup.
During recording, the passage of time is indicated with red
numbers.

button and then pressing the button
VIDEO MODE - This is the normal mode when starting
video recording

RESOLUTION - Change the video resolution FullHD 1080P
or HD 720P
IMAGE QUALITY - Change photo resolution from 5 to
12MP
LOOP RECORDING - Enables continuous recording so the
camera, once the memory has run out, continues to
record overwriting the oldest files. You can define the
duration of the single video files (1,2,3 minutes). Default:
2 m.
MOTION DETECTION - If you enable this function you can
leave the dashcam on and not recording. It will only
record if there is movement in the image. This function is
very useful if you keep the recording active while parking
in areas with little traffic, to record only in case someone
approaches the vehicle. To disable this function you need
to cover the lens so that recording does not start and
access to the menu is allowed.
WHITE BALANCE - Sets the white balance according to the
type of ambient lighting.
SHARPNESS - Adjusts the contrast
EXPOSURE - Allows you to correct the brightness of the
image with steps -3, -2, -1,0, + 1, + 2, + 3. Default: 0
FREQUENCY - Choose the screen refresh rate at 50Hz or
60Hz. Default: 50Hz (Europe)
AUTO RECORD - Set automatic recording at startup
SCREEN SAVER - Activates automatic screen shutdown
after 3,5,10 minutes of inactivity. Note that this feature
only turns off the screen while the dashcam continues to
run. It is very important to enable this function if you
keep the camera running while parking to reduce
consumption. Default: OFF
AUDIO - Enable audio recording
PARKING WAKE - This is a convenient feature to monitor
your car while parking. If you activate this function, the
camera does not turn off completely when you switch off
the power or press the off button, but remains in
PARKING mode with shock detection, consuming very
little battery. If the vehicle is hit, the camera turns on,
starting recording for 20 seconds, then returning to
standby. Video files recorded in this mode are
automatically protected from overwriting.
