Screen Timeout: While in this section of setup, press the down arrow to get
to “screen protection” and press rec. Here you can set how many minutes
until the LCD screen on the back of the camera turns off. Options are 3, 5
or 10 minutes. Once done, press record until you’re back at the main screen.
Shock Sensitivity: This sets how sensitive the G or shock sensor is. If the camera
detects shock (in an accident or if your car gets bumped while parked) the camera
will “lock” the current video file so that it won’t get overwritten while recording. Press
Menu once, then down arrow until you get to G Sensor. Press record, and use the
arrow keys to select the sensitivity level. We recommend the medium or low setting.
Now all you need to do is mount the camera, and plug it on to power.
If your vehicle has a cigarette lighter plug, that is switched on and off with the
ignition, the camera will turn on and start recording every time you start your car.
If it has an always on lighter plug, the camera will always be recording. If you don’t
want to be recording while parked, simply unplug when you park, and plug back in
when you start your car.
See our website for other options such as hard-wiring.
