You will see on the screen:

“Format

Delete all data” will have two selections: 

1. Cancel 

2.  OK 

Select the “OK” option and press the “OK” button. Your memory card is now formatted and contains no data. 

RECORDING 

Once the device is turned on and the memory card is formatted, you will enter Video mode. 

Press the “OK” button to start/stop recording

Once the recording is started, the red indicator will be flashing next to this icon  

in the top left corner of the screen. 

If the recording is stopped, there will be no red flashing indicator. 

By pressing the LOCK button (third button on the right        ), you will manually lock the current video file. The Loop recording will not override the locked recording, it will remain saved on the memory card until it is deleted manually, or the SD card is formatted.

 . 

• Another Click on the Menu button will bring the second list of the settings:

• Use UP and DOWN buttons(on the left side of Dash Cam) to navigate these settings, and OK button(on the right side of the Dash Cam) to enter each setting or confirm changes

Resolution- 1296P/ 1080FHD/ 720P/ VGA 

• Recommended setting (may vary on your personal needs and preferences): 1296FHD

Cyclic record-(Loop recording) Off/ 1Minute/ 3Minutes/ 5Minutes 

• The video recordings will be saved in time segments 1- 3 -5 Minutes depending on your selection within this feature. Loop recording on a dashcam allows for continuous recording even if the SD memory card reaches full capacity. This means older files are overwritten once the SD card reaches its file size limit. In the event of an incident, any files that have been protected by activation of the G- sensor, or by manually pressing the lock button will not be overwritten and will stay on the SD card. Therefore, important clips that can be used for insurance purposes or sending to the Police will stay locked on the card and will not be deleted. This also means that, at some point, your SD card will be full of protected recordings, and the SD Card would need to be formatted in order to make free space. 

High Dynamic Range- Off/On

• It improves contrast in an image while maintaining clarity. HDR can be particularly important in a Dash Cam in helping to produce vibrant and clearer imagery, ultimately resulting in enhanced footage. When driving at night time and in low light levels, HDR can significantly improve image clarity. It will record multiple exposure levels for each frame and conduct tone mapping to ensure the optimum footage is recorded.

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

• Increasing exposure makes videos and images look lighter or darker. If your video is too dark, the selection of a positive number is recommended. If your video is too bright, select negative numbers

Motion Detection- Off/On

• Motion detection is a memory saving feature which only records footage where motion is taking place. It’s supported only when the car is in the ignition. 

Recording- Off/On

• The device has a built-in microphone for recording audio in the cabin. When On is selected, the audio recording will be enabled, and if it is set to Off, an audio recording will be disabled

Date Stamp- Off/On

• Select ON if you want the date on the recordings

Gravity sensing (G-sensor)- Off/ Low/ Medium/ High 

• The Dash Cam includes a built-in G-Sensor which allows the device to determine when the car has been in a collision. If it detects a collision, it automatically locks the recording being made at the time of the accident. High selection will make the system more sensitive, and low setting ensures the system will react only to greater shocks

Parking guard- Off/On

• This feature is available only when the car is in the ignition. The parking guard uses the Motion Sensor and G-Sensor to optimize recording functionality while your vehicle is parked. The idea is that when you are parked, the dashcam will be “sleeping” but it will monitor the video image for motion and it will also monitor the G-sensor. If it detects motion or if it detects an impact then the unit will wake up and start recording

Car Number- Off/On

• Select ON if you want the car number on the recordings

LCD Brightness- Off/ 30 Seconds/ 1Minute/ 2Minutes 

• This option allows you to set a duration after which the device’s display will go dark, and the camera will still keep recording. The screen will turn dark after 30 Seconds/ 1Minute/ 2Minutes, based on the selected option. It is highly recommended to use this feature in order to avoid distraction while driving

Auto Power Off- Off/ 3 Minutes/ 5 Minutes/ 10 Minutes

• This feature enables the Dashcam to shut down by itself after the selected interval of time (3 Minutes/ 5 Minutes/ 10 Minutes)
