5 FAQs
Dash cam will automatically stop?
• Recording when no movements is detected for more than 10 seconds
(see 3.6).
• Your micro SD card may be full and need to be formatted before using again.
1080P HD videos are big in size and G-sensor locked videos cannot be erased
automatically. We recommend formatting your memory card every 14 days.
Why do you recommend Class 10 micro SD card or above?
• 1080P HD video has a bigger data flow and hence requires a micro SD card
with faster writing speed. If memory cards below Class 10 are used, they may
cause the dash cam to freeze or other related video recording/erasing issues.
How do I turn off the audio during recording?
• To turn off Audio Record, short press the 'Down' button(5) during (Please
note: this does not interrupt the recording).
How do I record videos?
• All dash cams are programmed to automatically record when there is power
connected and a memory card inserted. When the engine is turned off, or
power is disconnected, the dash cam will stop recording. Manually start/stop
recording by pressing the 'OK' button (6).
