Powering On / Off
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.
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 3 seconds. A Countdown will display on the screen. Press and hold the
power button until the camera is powered off.
To turn the camera on manually, press and hold the power button for at least 3
seconds.
Loop Recording
Default: 3 Minutes
The loop recording function allows the camera to continuously record video
footage on your memory card. When there is insufcient 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 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.
Parking Surveillance Mode
Default: Off
When Parking Mode has been turned on, the Dash Cam enters standby mode
when the vehicle has been turned OFF (typically removing your ignition key).
Should physical movement of the vehicle be detected, the Dash Cam will power
on and start recording a 30 second protected video. If no further physical
movement is detected then the camera will return to standby mode, if physical
movement is detected subsequently, then the camera will continue to record
normally, i.e. driving once more.
