Emergency File Protection

The RAC 210 records in segments onto the Micro SD card.

The RAC 210 uses ‘loop technology” – this means that when the Micro SD card
is full up, it will automatically overwrite the oldest videos and keep recording.
There is no need to erase files or adjust the settings.

The default segment duration is 3 minutes, which can be changed from the
menu settings. For example, 1 hour of recording would generate 20 x 3 minute
segments. During recording, press Menu button to protect the current
video, the lock icon appears on the screen, the current video clip will be
protected and cannot be replaced.

The reason for recording in segments is so that, when you connect the RAC 210
to your computer, or download files using the SD card reader, numerous files
will appear on the screen, each tagged with a date and time, with each file
representing a segment. This makes it easy to locate a specific file, rather than
having to scroll through hours of video.

Motion Detection

First, enter Menu Settings and activate Motion Detection function (the default setting
is Off, choose Low / Middle / High to activate the function);

backwards 10 seconds then standby for detection, it will recording automatically

time depends on the Motion event REC time and the default setting is 5 second. The
Dash Cam will start next 5 second recording if any motion detected, press any button
can exist from motion detection mode and the icon will disappear from the screen.

G-sensor Collision Recording Protection (Protect Level)

When a collision is detected while recording, the current video segment will be protected
automatically and cannot be replaced until it is deleted from the SD card. However, if
there is an incident, and you do not want to risk the segment being overwritten, you should
always push the MENU button to protect the current segment.
