The purpose of your dashboard camera is to continuously record the road ahead, and to automatically record and save any incidents or accidents you might be involved in. Your device records video by clusters of 1 minute (the duration can be changed in video settings menu, see “4.2 Video Settings”.). It is equipped with a sensor that detects shocks. Each time a shock is detected, it will permanently save the cluster during which the event occurred. The sensitivity of the sensor can be changed in the video settings menu, see “4.2 Video Settings”. Once your SD card is full, it will automatically overwrite the oldest footage. SD card storage space has been set to: 70% for Normal, 20% for Event, 10% for Photo.
