Adding safety camera

NOTE:

 You can add a custom safety camera only when a GPS fix is established.

Your recorder allows you to customise the safety camera database. You can add up to 100 
custom safety cameras in your recorder. 
Follow the steps to configure a custom safety camera:

1.  To add a custom safety camera in the current location, press 

 on the recording 

screen.

2.  The next time when you pass by the location, you will receive alerts by the recorder.

The screen will display the visual alert (the custom safety camera will be shown as the 

 icon), and you will also receive audio warnings (

Beep

 or 

Mute

).

3.  To view the information of the user-added safety camera, go to 

Settings Menu > 

SafetyCam > Custom SafetyCam

 and then select the safety camera that you want to 

check. The 

Location

 and 

Created Time

 of the safety camera will be displayed on the 

screen.

4.  To delete the custom safety camera, select 

Delete

Occasionally MiTAC may offer you updates of safety camera data. Visit the MiTAC website 
for available downloads, and follow the instructions to complete the update.
