Resolution:

 Setting video resolution of footage recorded,

  Front camera only:

 

1920*1080P 60FPS, 1920*1080P 30FPS 

  Front + Rear Camera: 1920*1080P 30FPS
• 

Bitrate:

 You can set the bitrate for video. High bitrate may improve 

the quality and smoothness of the video, especially when recording 
fast motion or high contrast scenes. Using high bitrate mode may 
decrease the amount of recording time available on your memory 
card. Using low bitrate will save space and record for longer time.
• 

Live Video Source: 

Front camera / Rear camera / PIP mode 1 / PIP 

mode 2.
• 

Loop Recording:

 Off / 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 minutes.

Recording will begin automatically after powering on with a micro 
SD card in the device. Each recorded file is up to three minutes long, 
with old footage being replaced when micro SD card storage is full.
• 

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): 

Dynamic range is the ratio of the 

brightest portion of the image to the darkest portion of the image. 
WDR enables the camera to deliver video with near perfect exposure 
in varying lighting situations.

 Exposure:

 Adjusting the value of the EV (Exposure Value) properly 

can create better footage under different light sources. It ranges from     
-2.0 to +2.0. You can adjust the EV for front and rear camera 
separately. Default is set at 0.0.

 Parking  Mode:

 To use the parking mode, it requires the camera to 

connect to the vehicle via the hardwiring cable (optional). The 
hardwiring cable must be professionally installed to the vehicle by a 
trained mechanic. Your vehicle is under the protection at all times with 
parking mode recording that is triggered by motion and impact 
detection.
• 

Time-lapse Recording:

 Record video from frames captured at 

specific time intervals to conserve memory and reduce the time it 
takes to review video. The default is off. 
• 

Motion Detection: 

When activated, the camera will start recording if 

there is movement in front of the camera. Once the camera does not 
detect movement for 60 seconds, it stops recording and returns to 
“Motion Detection” mode. The camera will record again in the time of 
detecting a new movement. 
• 

GPS: 

Turn on / off GPS logger. A GPS module is used to include the 

location data in the recorded videos. If disabled, your camera will no 
longer measure your speed and position; nor synchronize the time / 
date. (Only available when connect with GPS signal) Please use 
“Dashcam Viewer” to playback videos and to visualize your position 
and speed on your computer.
• 

Speed Unit:

 Kilometer per hour (KMH) and miles per hour (MPH) are 

available for speed unit.
• 

G-Sensor:

 The G-sensor measures shock forces and locks the video 

recorded at the time. The settings from “low to high” determine the 
amount of force needed to lock the file from being overwritten. We 
recommend that you set it at low.
