Video Recording

Recording automatically starts when this product is started. The recorded video is saved to the 

microSD card as one file of the set increment of time (default: 3 minutes), and when the microSD card 

runs out of free space, the files are overwritten starting from the oldest file.

w

Video Resolution: 1080 p / 720 p

You can select the required video resolution (Full HD / HD). 
Default setting: 1080 p (Full HD).

Dual Lens Recording / 2-Channel Recording: Off / On

When this function is enabled, the rear camera will shoot simultaneously with the front one. In this 
case, the resolution of the video recording of the rear camera will be 720 p. If this function is disabled, 
video from the rear camera will not be saved. 
Default setting: On

Loop Video Recording / Video Clip Length: 1 min / 3 min / 5 min

In this mode, the Dash Camera will cyclically record new video files at specified time intervals. If loop 
recording is enabled, when the microSD Card is full, the old data will be overwritten with the new one.
If the loop recording function is disabled, recording will automatically stop when the SD memory card 
is full. A warning message appears on the screen indicating that the memory card is full. 
Default setting: 3 min

Headlights: Off / On

When this function is active, the system will remind you to turn on the headlights while driving after dusk. 
Default setting: Off

Exposure: -3 / -2 / -1 / 0 / +1 / +2 / +3

By default, the system determines the optimal exposure for the entire scene that makes up the image. 
Meanwhile, this function for determining the exposure allows you to select individual areas. This is 
useful in cases where, when using the default setting, one or another important area may be strongly 
overexposed or too dark. After changing this setting, the effect is immediately visible on the screen. If 
the mode is changed, the camera returns to the exposure metering mode for the entire scene. 
Default setting: 0
