that is to be provided through the updating of firmware for improving quality and securing stability, it may vary depending on the

# This product is designed for recording the video related to an accident involving a user’s vehicle. However, it is not guaranteed
that the whole length of a video related to an accident is to be recorded. In case of an accident in which a minor shock occurs, the
