2.6 Using the Car DVR

2.6.1 Recording Video

When the Car DVR is connected to your vehicle's 12v power supply, the Car DVR will automatically power up and begin
recording when you start your vehicle. During the start up the buttons will be unresponsive and the camera will take a
moment to begin recording. The Car DVR will automatically stop recording and shutdown when your vehicle is powered off.
Note:
1. Because of how some vehicles are wired, the recording may continue when the engine is switched off. If this happens, please
manually turn off the Car DVR or remove the car adapter from the cigarette lighter when not in use.
2. The recording loop length can be configured to save a video file for every 3 or 5 minutes of recording. For information on how to
adjust this setting please refer to the Loop Recording section of this manual.
3. The device saves the recorded footage and photos on to the inserted Micro SD Card. If the memory card capacity is full, the oldest
file in the memory card will be overwritten.

2.6.2 Locked Recording

Locked Recording saves the current video file and protects it from being overwritten.
Note:
1. If the G Sensor function is enabled and a collision is detected, the device will automatically trigger the emergency recording and
protect the current video file. Please refer to the section titled G Sensor.
2. The emergency recording file is created as a new file, which will be protected to avoid being overwritten by normal loop recording.
If the inserted Micro SD Card fills up with Emergency Recording files the message "SD Card Full" will appear on the screen, the
oldest emergency file will be automatically deleted when a new emergency recording file is created.
