Basic Camera Operation 

Everyday Operation 

Your camera will automatically turn on and start recording when it starts receiving power. By 

default, the camera will record over the oldest videos when the memory card is full (loop 

recording). 

 

Continuously Powered Electrical Outlet 

If your camera is continuously powered, the camera will not automatically shut down when 

your motorcycle is turned off. To turn off your camera, the USB cable can be pulled out or the 

power button can be pressed (see the below section).   

 

The camera may be left on while parked to capture video while you are away. 

“Continuously-Powered-Electrical-Outlet” operation will slowly drain your 

motorcycle’s battery and may eventually prevent your motorcycle from 

starting.
