Shock sensor sees collision while driving as main issue. Since shock sensor is weak during parking lot collision,
compared with collision while driving, to supplement its weakness, there is a function, with which user can adjust
sensor sensitivity. Enough SD card memory should be secured to save general recording files enough.

In case of connection to continuous power, shooting can be made continuously 24 hours. Battery monitoring
function shuts off power prior to battery discharge. Since installation method varies depending upon the vehicle in
case of installation on continuous power or A/S. check with professional engineer to see if there is no trouble on
safety and function. This is required for safety and protection of consumer.
