Powering On
The camera is designed to automatically power on when it receives power from
the car power adapter. A start-up sound will be played when the camera has
started successfully.
Switching camera On/Off
Automatic: When the camera is ON,simply turn OFF the engine or unplug the
power cable and the camera will switch OFF automatically.
Manual: Switching the camera OFF manually is required for vehicles where the
vehicle’s power socket provides continuous power after the engine is turned
OFF. To turn the power off manually, press and hold the power button for at
least 5 seconds. When the camera has been turned off, all status LEDs will not
be lit.
To turn the camera on manually, press and hold the power button for at least 3
seconds.
Loop Recording
Default: 1 Minutes
The loop recording function allows the camera to continuously record video
footage on your memory card. When there is insufcient space on the memory
card, loop recording will automatically overwrite the oldest non-protected le on
the memory card, and replace with a new recording.
The available settings of 1/3/5/10 minutes allows you to choose how long to
record for each video le.
Emergency le protection
Default: Low
When the G-sensor is activated due to a collision,the footage currently recorded
will be automatically locked to avoid being overwritten by loop recording. Adjust
the G-sensor level of the camera to the appropriate setting based on your
driving area.
Motion Detection
If turned ON, the camera will start recording when camera detects any
movement within its FOV (Field of view). Once the camera does not detect any
movement for 60 seconds,it will stop recording and returns to Detection mode.
Recording will resume if any new movement is detected.
