Car DVR mode
Car DVR mode can be turned on or o in the Video Settings menu
This hands o mode setting is ideal for insurance and security purposes. In this mode the camera records footage in a
continuous loop style (Car DVR Intervals) recording loop after loop until it fills the Micro SD Card. Once full, the oldest
loops will be deleted as the newest ones are saved. DVR loop intervals can be 1min, 3min, 5min and 10min.
Car DVR mode can be turned on or o in the Camera Settings menu, it will automatically power the camera on and
begin recording when power is delivered to the USB port. Setting the Car DVR to ‘M’ (manual) allows the user to use this
feature while manually starting the first loop by pressing ACTION. This is ideal for users such as cyclists, where external
power is not frequently used.
1. To turn Car DVR mode on, open Video Mode Settings from the Main Menu and select Car DVR, press ACTION,
then select ‘ON’, or ‘M’ for manual mode. On the live preview screen a CAR icon will indicate that Car DVR mode is
enabled.
Scene Mode
Normal: Use this as your ‘go to’ setting. This is the default setting and will give you the most neutral, true colour palette
possible for the broadest range of environments, and is the best mode to choose for bright outdoor environments.
Vivid: Use this mode when you are intentionally looking to make your colours a touch more saturated.
Low Light: This setting should only be used in low light settings such as filming at night or indoors with less ambient
lighting. If the camera is set to 60/50fps in any resolution, auto slow shutter mode will regulate the frame rate from
60/50fps to 30/25fps based on the luminance in order to achieve the highest exposure rate possible for each frame.
In this instance, each frame will be printed twice in order to keep the overall frame rate at 60/50fps.
Bit Rate
Users can select to keep the normal compression used by the H.264 codec, or if they prefer, allow a higher flow of data
for preserving more of the original recording. This will increase the bit rate used in all recording modes. The maximum
bit rate is set to 35.0 Mbps, this is reserved for the most processor intensive recording modes of 720p 120/100, WVGA
240/200. In High Bit Rate, 1080p 60/50 will be approximately 26.0 Mbps versus 18.0 Mbps in Normal Bit Rate.
