Parking Mode: Time-lapse video recording
After the car is turned o, it will enter AOV (low-power) time-lapse recording. It will shut
down after reaching the set time or detecting low voltage. After shutting down, it can only be
awakened by starting the ignition.
If a collision occurs during the time-lapse recording, take a photo (the le name starts with
“G” and ends with “X”) and record the collision event (a prompt sound will be emitted when
the ignition is turned on next time), then switch to normalvideo recordingmode, and switch
back to time-lapse recording after recording for 2 minutes.
The night visionmode(AI-ISPtechnology) will be automatically turned on in time-lapse
recording mode to ensure clearer night parking recording images.
Parking Mode: Normal video recording
Normal recording will be maintained after the car is turned o. It will shut down after
reaching the set time or detecting low voltage. After shutting down, it can only be woken up
by the ignition.
During normal video recording, if a collision occurs, a photo (the le name starts with “G” and
ends with “L”) and an associated short video will be taken.
Parking Mode: Sleep
After the car is turned o, it enters the AOV sleep state. If a collision occurs, it enters the
wake-up recording mode, performs 30 seconds of normal recording, and then continues to
sleep. It shuts down after detecting low voltage. After shutting down, it can only be woken up
by ignition.
If a collision occurs again during normal recording, photos (the le name startswith “G” and
endswith “L”) and related short videos are taken, and the collision event is recorded at the
same time (a prompt sound is issued when the ignition is turned on next time); if collisions
continue to occur, when the normal recording lasts for 2 minutes, it switches to time-lapse
recording; during time-lapse recording, if there is no collision within 30 seconds, it will re-
enter sleepmode. If there are continuous events triggered, time-lapse recording will
continue, and there is no limit on the working time. The low-voltage protection of the step-
down line is used to ensure that the battery is not fed.
Notes:
The parking monitoring mode needs to be realized bythe intelligent hardwire kit (optional).
If you use the app to keep the connection with the dash cam, the device will not enter the
parking monitoring mode. You need to disconnect from the App before the device can enter
the parking monitoring mode.
