Change the resolution of recorded footage. 1080FHD 1920x1080, 720P 1280x720,
WVGA 848x480 and VGA 640x480 are available.
b.
Loop recording:
If loop recording is enabled, the camera is able to record endlessly, deleting and
overwriting old recordings in the process.
c.
HDR:
Enable/disable high dynamic range. Enabled is recommended, for more detailed recordings.
d.
Exposure:
Change the light exposure of the footage. +0.0 is the recommended exposure, with
higher exposure brightening the footage and lower exposure darkening it.
e.
Motion Detection:
Enable/disable motion detection. When enabled, the camera will automatically
start recording when movement is detected.
f.
Record Audio:
Enable/disable audio recording.
g.
Date Stamp:
Enable/disable date stamps. When enabled, the date of recording will be overlayed
onto recorded footage.

automatically lock the footage in the camera whenever heavy gravity is detected (such as from a
collision), preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
