Introduction 

 
The Street Guardian SGZC12RC Digital Video Recorder is engineered 
to require minimal user intervention, it is pre-configured with logical 
default settings and is supplied ready to use once installed with a 
minimum of adjustment needed to personalise to your needs. 
The default operation of the product means that it will power on and 
start recording shortly after starting the vehicle and will power down 
shortly after the vehicle is turned off, the recordings will be 
segmented into easy to navigate chapters and once the memory card 
is full will automatically delete the oldest recorded segment to make 
way for further recordings. 
Operating in this 

first in, first out 

manner means that the memory 

card will cycle the recordings continuously and will always have the 
most recent recordings, a 32GB memory card will store around 4 
hours of recordings before beginning to recycle. 
Emergency files created by G-Sensor trigger or by manually saving 
are moved to the EVENT folder so that they are not overwritten by 
the regular recording and recycling process

[Note] Formatting the memory card will erase all files including 
emergency files.
