  • Page 4: About Wheelwitness Cm Pro Dashboard Camera

    About WheelWitness CM PRO Dashboard Camera The camera is designed to automatically turn ON when it receives power to the DC IN port. It also automatically shuts down and records for a few extra seconds using the internal battery when the power is shut off (to avoid any sudden power cuts and possibly corrupting data). Under default settings the camera always cycles or “loops” the SD card so you will always be recording and never run out of space. Certain camera functions such as Motion Sensor and G-sensor should remain OFF under normal operating conditions. They are intended to be used ONLY when the vehicle is stationary and would interfere with normal camera operation while driving. Please only change the settings as required!

    LED Setting You can turn off the LED backlight for the buttons. [LED] [On] / [Off]. G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor) – (Set to OFF by default) Same as the motion detector, the G-Sensor is used when the vehicle is stationary or under special application. When there is a collision or a sudden change in XYZ axis, the G-Sensor or Gravity Sensor determines the direction of the collision and records the event. It creates a separate EVENT folder and stores the files there. These files are saved and are not overwritten when the camera files loop. Adjust the sensitivity parameter of the sensor so that the camera does not automatically lock all the recorded videos.
