Features About this item

G-Sensor lock (Gravity sensor lock)
When the car takes a collision, the G-sensor will be set off and the current video clip will be locked to save evidence, so it won’t be deleted in loop recording mode. (Sometimes you will see a lock(key) icon on the screen, that is G-sensor activated) -
Screen saver (Screen protector)
In order to guarantee safe driving, and not to be affected by the light of the recorder, you can set the screen saver to shut off the display, and press any key to turn it back on. -
Loop recording
In loop recording, the camera will record the video in 1/2/3/5 minutes clips, and when the card is full, the camera will cover the earliest clip with the latest one, and so forth. (Locked video will not be covered) -
Motion Detection
Motion Detection is used to save storage space, when motion detection is on, the camera will automatically start recording when the camera detects movement is stopped. We do not recommend turning on this function during driving for your safety.
Customer Questions & Answers
Q: Keeping Saying, SD Card Full?
A:
- Format your new SD card on the dash cam when you first use it. We suggest using a class 10 high-speed micro SD card, no more than 32 GB. (Please remember to insert a Micro SD card before the dash cam power on!）
- Please check if you set loop recording success, if set success, there will have a mark on the dash cam screen.
- Please do remember to close the parking monitoring and motion detection functions when you’re driving on the road. (if not, these two functions trigger the captured locked videos which can’t be overwritten. If it shows the card full, you need to format the card.)
- If the G-sensor is set to high, it is easy to lock the file and make the Micro SD card full, so the suggested set to low, is safe enough and recommended to format your SD Card monthly.
- If keep saying ” insert C6 and above SD card”, it may be because the SD card is not compatible with a dash cam. Some SD card on the market is false SD card. Please try a new SD card.
