Operation
Parking Mode
Enabling Parking Mode allows your camera to monitor for changes in its internal G-Sensor/
accelerometer. Bumps, Collisions, and break-ins can trigger the G-Sensor to save valuable footage from
the moment of impact. If leaving your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is old)
please use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a time-limit on Motion Detection and prevent
your battery from being drained.
Note: For Parking Mode to work the camera needs to be connected via hardwire kit (part: CA-
MICROUSB-003) or be plugged into an ‘always on’ Cigarette Lighter Socket. You can check if your vehicle
has an ‘always on’ CLA adapter online or in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
Surveillance Auto Shutoff
If leaving your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is old) please use the “Auto
Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a time-limit on Motion Detection and Parking Mode to prevent your
battery from being drained.
G-Sensor
You can use this setting to set the sensitivity of the G-Sensor from 1-3 or turn it off. Level 1 is the easiest to
activate the G-sensor. Level 3 is the setting which will only lock videos when the most severe impacts are
detected. Level 1 is recommended for most users.

and a custom Driver ID be stamped into the bottom of all recorded video.

allows you to set the name of the driver which will be stamped on the footage as part of the watermark.

setting is useful to avoid distracted driving and having a bright LED screen when driving at night.

or select Auto to allow the camera to detect low-light conditions and automatically enable Interior Night
Vision recording.
