- Key Features
- Loop Recording
After inserting the memory card and connecting the power, the dash cam will automatically turn on and enter loop recording. The duration of each recorded video will be saved based on the loop recording time you set, and saved in the normal video folder. When the capacity of the normal video folder reaches 70% of the total capacity, the new loop recording file will automatically overwrite the original loop recording files.
![Vantrue - Sonnet 1 PRO - Loop Recording Loop Recording]()
Note:
- The normal operation of the loop recording function is very dependent on the speed of the memory card, so please format the memory card regularly to avoid problems such as excessive memory card files and card aging that affect the normal loop recording.
- Please check the loop recording video regularly to avoid the necessary videos being overwritten by loop.
- When Loop Recording is turned off, the video lock function will no longer work.
- After the loop recording is turned off, the duration of each video will be 20 mins, and the recording will stop when the memory card capacity is full.
- Event Recording
Event video is triggered by the G-sensor (Gravity Sensor), which can be automatically triggered or manually locked. During driving, in case of special circumstances, the camera will automatically lock for event recording or you can manually lock it by pressing the
button for event recording. During the lock video period, you can press
the button to capture multiple times. After recording, the video will be automatically saved in the event video folder, and the photo will be saved in the photo folder.
![Vantrue - Sonnet 1 PRO - Event Recording - Example 1 Event Recording - Example 1]()
Automatic locking event video is triggered when the car is hit/shaken. The dash cam detects the vibration and automatically locks the current video, which is saved in the event video folder.
![Vantrue - Sonnet 1 PRO - Event Recording - Example 2 Event Recording - Example 2]()
- The sensitivity of the automatic locking video trigger is determined by the sensitivity of the collision. The higher the sensitivity setting, the greater the probability of being triggered.
- The total capacity of the event video file accounts for 30% of the total capacity of the current memory card.
When the event video file reaches the upper limit, the new event video file will automatically overwrite the old event video file. It is recommended to periodically check and save your event video files to avoid loss. - Lock recording will not trigger in either of the following situations: Loop recording is off or Time lapse recording is on. You can only capture photos with loop recording off/ time lapse on.
