Bitrate:

 You can set the bitrate for video. High bitrate may improve 

the quality and smoothness of the video, especially when recording 
fast motion or high contrast scenes. Using high bitrate mode may 
decrease the amount of recording time available on your memory 
card. Using a low bitrate will save space and record for longer time.
• 

Live Video Source: 

Front camera / Rear camera / PIP mode 1 / PIP 

mode 2.
• 

Loop Recording:

 Off / 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 minutes.

The recording will begin automatically after powering on with a micro 
SD card in the device. Each recorded file is up to one- minute long, 
with old footage being replaced when micro SD card storage is full.

• 

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): 

Dynamic range is the ratio of the 

brightest portion of the image to the darkest portion of the image. 
WDR enables the camera to deliver video with a near perfect exposure 
in varying lighting situations.

 Exposure:

 Adjusting the value of the EV (Exposure Value) properly 

can create better footage under different light sources. It ranges from     
-2.0 to +2.0. You can adjust the EV for the front and rear camera 
separately. The default is set at 0.0.

 Advanced Parking  Mode:

 There are 3 options under parking mode:

① 

Auto Event Detection 

      Including buffered parking mode, the camera will automatically 
record a video sequence 

(

from 15 seconds before the event to 30 

seconds after the event

)

while a moving object is detected during 

parking. It will stop recording without new movements. 

② 

Time Lapse recording 

      Time lapse record a video at low frames at 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 / 15 fps, It 
keeps recording continuously without audio recorded. 

③ 

Low Bitrate Recording 

      This mode record video in low bitrate for both front and rear. It 
keeps recording continuously in mini 

fi

le size with audio recorded.

• Parking G-sensor: 

 The G-sensor detects  

significant

  or sudden 

movement (such as an impact or collision), it will trigger an event 
recording. We suggest setting it to High sensitivity in parking mode
recording.

• Parking Motion Detection: 

 Adjusts the sensitivity of the motion 

detection so minor motion caused by wind or rain doesn't trigger a 
recording.
• 

Time-lapse Recording:

 Record video from frames captured at 

specific time intervals to conserve memory and reduce the time it 
takes to review video. The default is off.
