Files can also be protected from the playback menu in Video Playback mode.

Using emergency recording

An emergency recording is initiated when the SOS Video button on the lower left of the Video screen is pressed or when the G-Sensor registers an impact. Emergency recordings create protected (locked) files that are not overwritten by continuous loop recording. In addition, to make sure that important footage isn’t lost surrounding an incident, adjacent video clips are locked if the incident happens within 30 seconds of the beginning or end of a clip.

  3. Right click the device, then select Eject from the option list that appears.
  4. Remove the memory card and replace it into your dash camera.
