background
- 16 -
A. Loop Recording
After inserting the memory card and connecting the
power, the N4S 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 the video file will be 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. After this function is enabled, the
video file will automatically overwrite the loop to
ensure continuous recording.
Note:
The normal operation of the loop recording function
depends 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.
After loop recording is turned off, the lock video
function will no longer work.
When the loop recording setting is turned off, the
length of each recording is 20 minutes. When the
memory card is full, the camera will stop recording
and prompt “SD card is full!”.

D. Parking Mode Settings
When parking, users can set up a variety of parking
monitoring settings according to the vehicle itself, the
parking environment, their own needs and other
factors.
When using the Parking Mode function, please note
the following:
Note:
PlatePix™ Mode will enhance the brightness in front of
the vehicle, but the overall picture may be dark. In
low-light environments, it is recommended turning off
this feature to avoid affecting the recording results.
To ensure that the parking mode of dash cam
works properly, please use the Vantrue hardwire kit
or other stable and continuous power supply to
power the dash cam.
We recommend using Vantrue ACC hardwire kit.
The ACC hardwire kit from other brands may not
work well due to the different location of the ACC
detection PINs.
Under the hot and sunny environment in summer,
we recommend users to use the collision detection
mode. When the ambient temperature in the car is
up to 60, we recommend users to turn off the
dash cam so that the high temperature will not
make the dash cam work abnormally.

E. Parking Mode Introduction
In order to meet different user needs, we have enriched
the working modes of parking and improved the
working logic therein.
Due to the different power supply modes of users, the
way the dash cam enters the parking monitoring mode
is also different. At present, it supports two entry
modes.
Only one of time lapse recording and parking mode
(including collision detection, motion detection, low
bit rate mode, and low frame rate mode) can be
turned on. Enabling one will automatically disable
the other.
All the files recorded in parking mode will be saved
in the parking video folder. In order to avoid the
parking mode files from being overwritten by loop
recording, please check them regularly in case of
being lost.
The parking monitoring mode and the parking
monitoring setting function are related, according to
different parking monitoring modes, different
parking monitoring settings can be matched.
Parking mode function will be improved with the
dash cam function, please pay attention to the
Vanture official website firmware description of the
public announcement, or consult with customer
service.

After the ACC hardwire kit is disconnected, the dash
cam enters the parking monitoring mode
immediately.
When the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes, the
dash cam will enter the parking monitoring mode
automatically.

Mode 1: Collision Detection
When the collision detection function is on, the
recording interface will display the corresponding icon,
indicating that the device is in the collision detection
mode. Sensitivity can be adjusted between levels 1 to
5 based on user preferences and vehicle conditions,
the higher the number, the higher the sensitivity level.
Users can choose the appropriate entry mode
according to their own vehicle power supply to
ensure the normal operation of the parking
monitoring function.
When the G-sensor detects that the vehicle has been
stationary for 5 minutes (entering the collision
detection mode), the dash cam will display the
corresponding icon in the middle of the screen and
automatically shut down. After switching off, if the
vehicle vibrates or moves, the dash cam will
automatically switch on and record 1 minute of
video, and then switch off again to ensure that key
images are recorded.
- 21 -
background
Note:
If the dash cam continues to be hit by a collision during
the collision detection recording process, it will exit the
collision detection mode, enter the normal recording,
and continue to stand still for 5 minutes before
entering the collision detection again.
According to different user habits, the collision
detection mode provides two start-up modes: quick
start mode and power saving mode, which can be
selected by users in Recording Settings > Parking
Monitor Settings > Parking Collision Detection.
Quick Start Mode: The device enters the standby
mode with the screen off, and when a collision
occurs, the device will immediately light up the
screen to record video, and save the file and continue
to enter the standby mode when the recording is
finished.
Power Saving Mode: The device is completely
switched off and automatically switches on to record
video after detecting a collision, saves the file and
switches off after recording is completed, which is
more energy-saving.
Mode 2: Motion Detection
When motion detection is turned on, the recording
interface will display the motion detection icon,
indicating that the device has entered the motion
detection mode. Users can select three levels of
sensitivity, low/medium/high, corresponding to a
detection range of 2 /4 /6 meters.

Note: Please make sure the device is in normal
working condition to ensure that the motion detection
function works effectively.
Trigger process: The dash cam supports
pre-recording function, which can better restore the
event process, you can add the recording screen 10
seconds before the triggering event in the motion
detection video, which will eventually form a
40-second motion detection recording (10 seconds
pre-recording + 30 seconds after the trigger)
In the Parking Mode setting, select the detection lens
and adjust the motion detection area to more
accurately monitor activity within a specific
range.This function works in conjunction with the
Motion Detection Parking Mode to ensure that the
device automatically triggers recording when it
detects abnormal movement, increasing surveillance
efficiency and reducing ineffective recordings.
