KEY DASH CAM FEATURES
CONTINUOUS LOOP RECORDING
When the MicroSD Card is full it will overwrite the oldest clips
to make room for new footage.
G-SENSOR
A built-in accelerometer senses sudden accelerations or
collisions and automatically protects footage surrounding the
incident so that it will not be overwritten by Loop Recording.
PARKING MODE
Parking Mode provides security while your vehicle is parked.
If the dash cam doesn’t sense any motion for a set time, the
screen will turn off and recording will stop.
If motion is detected or the G-Sensor is triggered, the camera
will automatically wake up and start recording again.
Note: Parking Mode is OFF by default. You can turn it ON in
the Video Settings Menu.
ACTION CAM MODE
