Overview
Record Overwrite (Loop Seng)
This is a recycling funcon for the video on your sd card, it records videos in blocks.
It will start recording on the rst empty block
Once the SD card has no more empty blocks le to record on
It will then go back to the start and record over the oldest video rst
Please note : If you turn this funcon to OFF, the camera will record unl the card is full, then it will stop recording.
You will manually have to format the SD card to clear the video les.
G-Sensor
The G-sensor is a trigger, When it has been acvated it knows something has happened and will lock the video le so it cannot
be recorded over by the Loop seng funcon above.
The G-sensor works on an moon accelerometer, X - Y - Z, Up and down, side to side and forward and backwards moon.
The G-Sensor can be acvated by a number of factors depending on the sengs you have entered.
If the G-Sensor has been set to 1G it will respond to small changes in acceleraon, swerving and accidents, where as 7G seng,
would require a lot more force to acvate.
Standard cars are generally set between 1G and 3G , where as HGV’s are set between 3G and 7G.
If you have a incident and you are not sure if it had enough force to trigger the G-Sensor you can always press buon 2 when
the camera is recording, this will put a padlock on the screen. This is the manual locking funcon.
Moon Detecon
Moon detecon is a funcon for when you are leaving your vehicle and want to record acvity around the vehicle.
When this funcon is switched on, and an object is detected in the lens the camera will turn on and start to record, when the
object has passed and there is no movement detected the camera will switch o within 10 minutes.
Please Note: For moon detecon, the camera must be wired to a permanent power source. The camera will not
automacally switch on when the vehicle is started and will be a manual process to switch the camera on and switching
between moon detecon and normal driving mode.
Failure to switch o moon detecon whilst driving, may result in inconsistent video footage.
