FAQ

• Q: How does continuous loop recording work?
  • A: When the MicroSD Card is full, it will overwrite the oldest clips to make room for new footage.
• Q: What is the purpose of the G-Sensor?
  • A: The G-Sensor detects sudden accelerations or collisions and automatically protects footage surrounding the incident so that it will not be overwritten by loop recording.
• Q: How does parking mode work?
  • A: Parking Mode provides security while your vehicle is parked. If the dash cam doesn’t sense any motion for a set time, the screen will turn off and recording will stop. If motion is detected or the G-Sensor is triggered, the camera will automatically wake up and start recording again.
  • Note: Parking Mode is OFF by default. You can turn it ON in the Video Settings Menu.
