Power ON/OFF
  • Check if the microSD card is inserted into the unit.
  • This product operates when vehicle completely starts or ACC is on.
  • It starts recording while voice announcement reporting current status of voice recording as well after checking up on the microSD card once the product starts.
  • The REC and GPS lamps turn on following above.
  • The REC lamp blinks in blue with voice recording, in violet without voice recording on.
  • GPS lamp is on in red before receiving signals and it is in blue while receiving it.
  • It may take a couple of seconds to several minutes by the time to receive GPS signal according to environments.
  • The product automatically detects number of recording camera. When the current status (1CH/2CH) is changed it reboots to apply recent change.
Normal Recording and Event Recording
  • The normal recording goes along with vehicle start-up and the REC lamp blinks in Blue.
  • In normal recording mode, recordings are 5 minutes in duration and are stored in the NORMAL folder. If the memory is full while in normal or event recording mode, the program will erase the oldest recorded data in those folders to allow the saving of new files. The management is based on First-In First-Out (FIFO).
  • In the case of an impact, the shock sensor will trigger the event mode with alarm. The REC lamp blinks in red and the recorded data with the alarm by the impact will be saved in the EVENT folder.
  • An Event file is composed of 10 seconds before the point of an impact and max. 60 seconds from the last impact according to your settings in the dedicated analyzer.
  • Sensitivity of shock sensor setting should be set differently according to vehicle type in order to support that Event regarded file can be safely saved in EVENT folder separately.
  • The product automatically starts recording of new data not keeping old ones further when the EVENT folder is full of shock data.
Manual EVENT Recording
  • The data is saved in the EVENT folder with alarm like as event files when you press SHOT button.
  • Please use SHOT button when you would like to save scenes or accident as a witness to keep them in the EVENT folder.
Parking Surveillance Mode
  • ”Auto switching to Parking mode” option is selected as a default setting.
  • It automatically places the unit in the “Parking Mode” once the car does not move for longer than 10 minutes after the last driving mode recording. Then the unit will automatically turn back to “Driving Mode” once the unit registers movement.
  • While there is no impact, the system records 5 frames/second to save the microSD card space and returns to normal full frame recording mode making an EVENT file when it detects an impact or movement around the vehicle then goes back to the parking mode again.
  • Release the automatic switching to parking mode in the PC configuration if it is not needed.
  • Once in Parking Mode, the system automatically rearranges its impact sensing sensitivity to the most sensitive level in order to register even the slightest impact.
  • No audio is recorded in parking mode.
  • To use the parking mode, the product has to be connected directly to the power source.
  • In regards to direct wiring to the vehicle’s power source, we recommend using professional help.
  • Extensive and continuous use of the vehicle’s power source may exhaust the performance of the product. The company is not liable for the damages from continuous use of the product more than 24 hours. We recommend the full power to be off after continuous use of 2~3 days for maintenance purpose.
