3.8 Motion Detection
A prerequisite for Motion Detect function is that the dash camera is in power
on status. Once the dash cam is power off, this function will not work.

camera in 5 minutes, the dash cam will stop recording and enter standby
mode, the screen will turn off at the moment.

front camera. The screen remains off, a flashing red LED indicates recording.
Once no further motion is detected within 30 seconds, video recording will
automatically pause and the dash cam enters standby mode again. The screen
remains off.
Once the dash cam detects position or speed change by GPS, or vibration/collision
by G-Sensor for more than 3 seconds, it will exit Motion Detect function and
enter normal Loop Recording mode.
