Triggering the Parking Surveillance Mode:
With the parking surveillance function enabled, when the vehicle's engine is turned off, the dash cam enters standby mode. If the built-in G-sensor detects a collision within five minutes, it will record an emergency surveillance video. After five minutes, any further collisions detected by the G-sensor will trigger parking surveillance video recording.
Adjusting Collision Sensitivity:
-
To adjust the collision sensitivity:
-
Press the function button below the settings icon to access the settings.
-
Navigate to "Video Settings" > "Parking Surveillance" > "Collision Detection Sensitivity" and select the desired option.

Recommendation:
If the parking surveillance recordings frequently trigger when the car doors are closed, consider selecting a lower sensitivity level.
Motion Detection:
When the vehicle's engine is off and the dash cam is in standby mode, it will record an emergency video if it detects movement around the vehicle.
Time-Lapse Photography:
When the vehicle's engine is off, the dash cam records video at a sampling rate of 1 frame per second (effectively 60x slower than real-time). For example, a one-minute recording is actually a compressed video of 30 minutes, known as a time-lapse video.
In time-lapse mode, the dash cam continuously records the scene in its field of view and plays back the video at a speed 15 times faster than real-world events. If any abnormal events occur, the dash cam can record the cause and impact of the event as evidence.
When All Three Features Are Enabled:
When the dash cam detects the ACC OFF signal on the parking surveillance cable, it will enter motion detection mode. If a collision or suspicious person triggers the parking surveillance recording, the dash cam will record accordingly. During this process, the dash cam's screen will not turn on.
