Key Features
Three-Channel Recording
The dash cam simultaneously records video from three perspectives: front (1080p), inside (720p), and rear (720p). For clearer internal and external footage, the front and cabin dual-lens cameras can operate independently at 1080p+1080p.

Infrared (IR) Night Vision
The inside-facing camera is equipped with 4 IR LED lights and an F/2.0 aperture. This technology automatically increases exposure in low-light or dark conditions, ensuring clear video footage of the vehicle's interior. The operating temperature range is -31°F to 167°F (-35°C to 75°C).

Loop Recording
Continuous loop recording automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files when the memory card is full. This ensures that recording never stops due to a full card, providing uninterrupted surveillance.

G-Sensor (Emergency Lock)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden shocks or collisions. When such an event occurs, the dash camera automatically locks the current video footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

Motion Detection & 24-Hour Parking Mode
In motion detection mode, the video recorder begins recording automatically when it detects movement in front of the camera. For continuous 24-hour surveillance, even when the car is off, the dash cam can be connected to the car battery via a hardwire kit (not included). This enables parking mode, which records when an impact is detected.
