Recording Modes
The device has five recording modes. Turning on the power of the device starts
continuous recording. The recorded video is recorded as files to the SD card. The
recording files are sorted into a separate folder for each recording mode.
Note
• The recording modes won't work in any of the following states:
- No SD card mounted
- Recording file playing
- Manual recording files, event recording files or parking recording files already stored
up to their maximum capacity limits, so they cannot be overwritten
- Recording file list on display
- Setup screen on display
Continuous recordings
Turning on the power of the device starts continuous recording. In continuous
recording mode, files are deleted in order from the oldest to record when there is no
recording area remaining.
Note
• The recording data is saved to the "NORMAL(Continuous Recordings)" folder.
• The recording time of one file can be set in [Continuous Recording File Length](P.29).
Event recording
The detection of a sudden collision, unexpected collision, or other event during
continuous recording starts event recording. The recording time of event recording is the
12 seconds before collision detection plus the time set in [Event Recording Time](P.29).
When event recording ends, the mode returns to continuous recording.
