Product Care

Q: How to keep the SD card recording continuously and avoid the memory card been full?A: Use a 32GB SD card, and set the loop-recording to 3 min and gravity sensing to Low.

Q: Can this camera work when my car is parked, someone is approaching my car?A: This camera has a G sensor which means it starts recording when any little vibration happen ,like a crash. It just works whe your car is parked if a strong movement is detected.

Q: How long should the battery last on this after charging? Even after charging overnight mine only works for a few minutes before it turns itself off.A: The battery of the driving recorder can only be installed with a lower power battery due to the machine, and the battery power is only used for emergency monitoring of the parking when leaving the car. In our daily life, we must turn on the car to use the cigarette lighter to light up dash cam instead of wirelessly.
