Set Loop Recording:

Your 1080p Dash Camera has the ability to record in a Loop mode, which means older blocks of video files will be overwritten once the memory card becomes full. You can set the amount of video block time the 1080p Dash Camera will record for before a new video file is started.

To change the length of the videos that the 1080p Dash Camera records follow the directions below:

Use the MODE button to make sure you are in VIDEO mode (video camera icon will be displayed in the top left corner of the screen).

Push the MENU button to get to the VIDEO menu.
Use the DOWN button to highlight the setting named Loop Recording and push OK.

To confirm selection, push the OK button, the 1080p Dash Camera will take you back to the VIDEO menu.

**Set G-Sensor:

The G-Sensor monitors any unnatural bumps or impacts and logs the associated footage as Locked, ensuring any footage of potential crashes is not recorded over with the regular loop footage.
