6. Main features and Settings

6.1 Recording and Saving

The purpose of your MDC10W is to continuously
record the road ahead, and to automatically
record and save any incidents or accidents you
might be involved in. The status LED (Blue) will
flash when it is recording.
By default, MDC10W records video in clusters of
1 minute. It can also be set to 3 minutes or 5
minutes. Although a longer loop recording time
improves continuous playback, it will result in
larger files, which is more difficult to manage.
To change the default duration for each
recording cluster, tap in Hubble Dashcam
app, select Dashcam settings > Loop recording.
Once your SD card is full, it will automatically
overwrite the oldest footage.

6.2 Mass Storage Mode

You can also connect MDC10W to your
computer using a standard micro USB cable to
view and manage videos stored inside the SD
card.

20 Main features and Settings

6.3 Parking Mode

Your MDC10W can record footages of events
occurring when your car is parked with its engine
off. The built-in battery will keep the G-sensor of
your device in detection mode, and will start
recording automatically for 30 seconds if it
detects vibration or a shock. Parking mode can
only record and save footage after an event has
been detected by the G-sensor.

IMPORTANT!

Parking mode is disabled by default.

To enable parking mode, tap in Hubble
Dashcam app > Dashcam settings > Parking

mode.

6.4 G-sensor / File Protection

Your MDC10W is equipped with a G-sensor that
detects shocks. Each time an impact is detected,
it will lock the recording during which the event
occurred and prevent the loop recording from
being overwritten.

The sensitivity is set to Low by default, but can
be set to Off/High/Medium/Low. A Low setting
means it requires the most impact to trigger the
'locking' of recordings, while a High setting
requires the least impact to trigger the 'locking'
of recordings.

Main features and Settings 21

ENGLISH

To change the sensitivity of the G-sensor, tap

in Hubble Dashcam app, select Dashcam

settings > G-Sensor.
Note that if you turn the G-sensor off, your

MDC10W will not be able to lock and protect
any footage.
To unlock protected recordings, tap in
Hubble Dashcam app and select Storage
Management > Unlocked > Yes.

IMPORTANT!

All the event videos will be u n l ocked. Ma ke su re
that you have saved important videos before
you proceed.

6.5 Automatic Start / Stop

The MDC10W senses power supplied to the
cigarette lighter car adapter as soon as the
vehicle ignition is turned on, and will start to
record automatically. When the ignition is
turned off, MDC10W shuts down automatically.
