Basic Camera Operation
Everyday Operation
Dash cam will automatically turn on and start recording when it starts receiving power. By
default, the camera will record over the oldest videos when the memory card is full (loop
recording). The protect files can take up to 30% of full SD card space, and not be over
written by normal recording files. When reaching 30% limit, files in RO (Read Only) folder
will be overwritten by newest protected file, starting with the oldest.
Continuously Powered Electrical Outlet
The camera will not automatically shut down when your vehicle is turned off If your vehicle
provides continuously power to the accessory outlet. To turn off your camera manually,
simply unplug the USB cable.
Continuously powered electrical outlet allows the camera to capture videos while you are
away but it will result in vehicle battery drainage and may eventually prevent your car
from starting. DOD Tech recommend to use DP4 power kit for needs of parking
surveillance.
Video Directory:
Videos will be saved on the memory card and or in internal storage. Normal driving videos
are in the root directory and the protected files will be saved in the “RO” (Read Only) file.
