G-sensor sensitivity
Infringement of copyright warning
This function activates in the case of a car accident by
determining the gravitational acceleration (1g = 9.8
meters/second^2). When this function activates the Dash Cam
will automatically sync a 10 second video clip and save it to the
Event folder on the SD card. We recommend Low Sensitivity to
avoid false triggers.
Note: With this function turned on it may fill up the SD card with
locked video files. Re-format the SD card to create space. The
device does NOT guarantee video recording of all accidents as
built-in impact sensor may not be activated due to combination of
user settings and the level of impact during the collision.
Formatting SD card
It is advisable to format the SD card when you first use the Dash
Cam and also regularly if you have the setting G-sensor function
on or create Locked files. This will fill up the card causing it to
stop recording any footage. 64-128GB Micro SD cards need to
be formatted in the Dash Cam to be recognised.
