Information 

Resolution

1080i offers higher detail, the 720p offers  

smoother video. 

[1080i] / [720p] 

Loop recording

The camera will only save 1 video file per journey, 

saving significant space on the micro SD card. If the 

G Sensor feature is enabled you will notice a key logo 

appears on the LCD screen (2) when there is any 

significant impact/jolt to the video. The camera will 

save this file under a different name, and the recording 

will be protected from the loop recording feature. 

[1 min] / [3 min] / [5 min] 

Exposure

The exposure value can be raised or lowered to 

increase or decrease the brightness levels of the 

recordings. 

[+0.0] / [-1/3] / [-2/3] / [-1.0] / [-4/3] / [-5/3] / [-2.0] / 

[+2.0] / [+5/3] / [+4/3] / [+1.0] / [+2/3] / [+1/3] 

Motion detection

Turn this feature on to use the dash camera as a 

security device. When turned on the camera will start 

recording as soon as it detects any motion and for  

10 seconds after the motion has finished.

Record audio

Activate or disable the microphone 

[On] / [Off]

Date stamp

When on, the camera will imprint the date and time 

on to the video file so it is visible when played back, 

providing a secure way of providing date and time 

evidence. When off, the camera will save the date and 

time into the information file of the recording. 

[On] / [Off]

G Sensor

When on the camera will automatically ‘protect’ the 

current recording in the event of a significant impact. 

You can choose how strong the impact must be 

before the feature is active. 2G is the most sensitive 

setting. You may need to adjust this to suit your style 

of driving or the road conditions. 

[Off] / [2G] / [4G] /[8G]
