Introduction

Functions

Cyclic recording

Car DVR overwrites older files (except locked ones) when the SD card is full.

Motion detection

When the DVR is in standby mode, if something moves in front of the camera, the DVR will automatically start recording.

G-sensor (Gravity Sensor)

If your car is suddenly hit by an external force (such as in the case of an accident), thanks to the G-sensor function, the device will automatically block the file with the impact recording. Thus, this file will not be deleted by the cyclic recording. Parking monitor

When the car is parked and the Parking Monitoring function is active, the car DVR continues recording.

For this, you need a special power cable (code PNIPC-DVR), which can be purchased separately.

Note : set the sensitivity of the G-Sensor function to High.
