SAFETY FEATURES
The SC Series Dash Cams come with several safety features designed to protect you and your vehicle.
You can adjust the level of protection that fits you via Drive Smarter App settings.
G-Sensor Impact Detection:
The SC100 Dash Cam includes a built in G-Sensor which allows the device to determine when
the car has been in a collision. If it detects a collision, it automatically locks the recording being
made at the time of the accident. Additionally, if the event occurs within 30 seconds of the start
or end of a clip, the adjacent recording will also be locked so you always have at least 30
seconds saved from before and after the event. 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 will
only lock videos when the most severe impacts are detected. Locked videos created as a result
of a G-sensor impact detection are stored in the Events folder on the SD card.
Parking Mode & Motion Detection:
Parking Mode uses the Motion Sensor and G-Sensor to monitor while your vehicle is parked.
The idea is that when you are parked, the dash cam will be “sleeping”, but it will monitor
surroundings for motion along with G-Sensor impacts. If it detects motion or if it detects an
impact, then the unit will wake up and start recording.
The camera will enter parking mode after 5 minutes. If there is no motion is during this period,
the recording will stop (the camera monitors for g-sensor impacts or motion). If motion is
detected or if a G-sensor impact above Level 1 is triggered, the unit will wake up and start
saving 1 minute clips for as long as activity is being detected.
Notes:
• Parking Mode only works properly if the dash cam is powered. Either the Cigarette
Lighter Socket must remain on with the ignition off, or the dash cam must be hardwired
to a constant power source (use optional hardwire cord CA-MICROUSB-001).
• If you park where there is lots of activity which keeps triggering the motion sensor, then
the unit might never time out and enter the sleep state. For this you can use the
“Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to prevent unnecessary recording.
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 Parking Mode and prevent your battery
from being drained.
• You can choose to have your camera monitor for impacts and/or motion by controlling
the ‘Parking Mode’ and ‘Motion Detection’ settings separately.
