Security Settings
Saved footage is located in either the Saved
Clips or Sentry Clips folder. Footage in the
Saved Clips folder contains all saved
recordings from dashcam, which have been
manually saved by touching the dashcam icon
on the touchscreen. Sentry Clips contains all
saved footage from Sentry Mode events,
which have been automatically saved when
the Alert or Alarm state was triggered. Once
footage of a particular event is saved, the
latest 10 minutes of video is archived in your
flash drive labeled with a unique timestamp.
Note: As your USB flash drive runs out of
available space, the oldest footage in Sentry
Clips are deleted to make room for new
footage. Once the old footage is deleted, you
will be unable to retrieve them. When the flash
drive is full, Sentry Mode and dashcam can no
longer save video footage.
Note: To prevent the flash drive from getting
full, move saved videos to another device as
soon as possible.
Note: You are responsible for complying with
all local laws, regulations, and property
restrictions regarding video recordings.
Note: The cameras do not record audio.
Save Clips on Honk
Once a properly formatted USB flash drive is
inserted in one of the vehicle's front USB
ports, you can choose to save dashcam clips
while driving when you honk the horn on your
steering wheel. Navigate to Controls > Safety
and Security > Save Clips on Honk > ON to
enable. The most recent ten minutes of
footage is saved. You can also save dashcam
footage by touching the dashcam icon at the
top of the touchscreen.
