BASIC SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS

the display)

When using the card for the first time, format it directly in the camera and
repeat the formatting at least once a month to ensure proper camera operation
B. Insert the adapter into the car cigarette lighter and connect it to the

BASIC FUNCTIONS:
G-senzor
If the G-Sensor detects an impact, it automatically protects the video
currently being captured against being overwritten
Attention, when the settings are set to high sensitivity and you are driving
over uneven
surfaces this can cause files to be automatically protected and the filling up
of the SD card
Motion Detection
The camera automatically starts recording when it detects movement in the lens
field of view and stops recording after about 10 seconds.
If you stop recording manually or turn off the camera, motion detection is
disabled
The function is for monitoring a parked vehicle, do not use whilst driving
To use the motion detection function, the camera must be turned on and
connected to the power supply
Parking Mode
The camera will start recording automatically when it detects a jolt to the
vehicle and if it does not happen again, after about 30 seconds it stops
recording and turns off
To use the parking mode function, the camera should be turned off and
connected to the power supply
