5. FUNCTIONS
Automatic Booting
Once the SVC1080-LCA has been wired to your car power source, the unit
will automatically turn on when the car’s ignition is switched on. The system
boot up will take around 1 minute before the unit is ready to record. If there is
no SD card, the unit will beep and both LEDs will flash.
The default setting for recording is continuous at 30fps with 720P resolution.
This setting allows for separate event and panic recordings.
On this setting, the SD card’s storage will be used up quicker and depending
on the settings, it may overwrite or stop recording when full. To avoid losing
valuable data, we recommend that you back up the data onto a separate
storage device or PC/Mac.
Recording Mode (Continuous)
This is the only recording mode. In this setting, the unit will begin recording
after the system has booted up and record the entire time the unit is
powered (SD card has to be present).
However, if you change the resolution to 1080I or 720P you will have
continuous recording and event recording. The SVC1080-LCA will
automatically create event files based on the below scenarios:
1. Continuously records 720P @ 30fps in the normal folder and overwrite.
2. Up to 10 G-sensor event files will be recorded in the shock folder.
3. Up to 10 Panic event files will be recorded in the panic folder.
4. If you check the parking mode function, then the continuous record
frame rate will be changed to 1fps if the car doesn’t move for 5 minutes.
Please note that event files will not be created in 1080P mode.
The resolution and frame rates can be set as per your requirements using
the SmartWitness software. To do this, please refer to the ‘Settings’ section
on page 20.
