On/Off
When you start the engine, the camera will turn on and begin recording automatically.
Simply turn off the engine or unplug the charging cable from the power adapter to
switch off the camera.
Note:
Switching the camera off manually is required for vehicle models in which the
cigarette lighter provides continuous power even after the engine is turned off. Press
and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds to turn off the camera. Press the
power button for at least 3 seconds to turn on the camera.
Loop Recording
1. Loop recording starts by default automatically when power is supplied to the
camera.
2. The elapsed time for each video file can be set to: 1/2/3/5/10 minutes.
3. When there is insuffcient space on the MicroSD card, loop recording will automati-
cally overwrite the oldest files one by one.
4. Loop recording files are saved in the memory card under the folder: \DCIM\Movie.
Emergency Recording
1. Automatic emergency recording
This is activated when the G-sensor is turned on and a collision occurs. The current
footage is locked automatically to avoid being overwritten by loop recording.
Note:
The sensitivity of the collision-sensing feature can be adjusted in settings
under the G-sensor option.
2. Manual emergency recording
Pressing the emergency recording (the OK) button while recording will lock current
footage to avoid being overwritten by loop recording. An exclamation point in a yellow
triangle will briefly appear on the screen. Upon playing back the scene, a key icon
will indicate that the file is protected.
Motion Detection
When this feature is activated, recording will begin when there is movement in front
of the camera. Once the camera doesn’t detect further movement for 60 seconds,
recording will stop and the device will switch back to detect mode. The camera will
begin recording again when it detects new movement.
