Camera Operation

Dash Cam Mode vs Action Cam Mode 

Continuous Loop Recording:

  Once the memory card is full, this camera will 

continuously overwrite the oldest footage recorded.

G-Sensor:

  The G-Sensor is an accelerometer that can detect an impact caused 

by an accident. If the G-Sensor is triggered the camera will automatically save 

the footage 30 seconds before and after the incident to a protected file that will 

not be overwritten by loop recording.  

Your Dash Cam

Your Dash Cam

The CDR 900 has two recording modes for different applications:
          

Dash Cam Mode:

 Shoots continuous loop and emergency videos. 

          

Action Cam Mode:

 Shoots normal videos.

NOTE:

 By default, the CDR 900 formats the SD card so that 50% of the 

memory is used for Action Cam Mode and 50% is reserved for Dash 

Cam Mode. This allocation can be modified through settings in the App.
