- Add Speed Point: Users can customize speed cam positions. The product supports up to 50 speed camera locations.
- Picture in Video: Allows taking snapshots of the current scene during recording.
- Driving Safety Functions:
- Speed Cam Alert: Provides audible and screen messages when approaching a speed cam location.
- Speed Limit Alert: Triggers an audible alert and screen message when exceeding a set speed limit (30~125 km/h).
- Driver Fatigue Alert: Issues an audible alert and screen message one hour after recording begins, repeating every half hour afterwards.
- LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System): Produces audible and screen messages when driving off or changing lanes at speeds over 70 km/h.
- FCWS (Forward Collision Warning System): Issues audible and screen messages when driving at speeds over 60 km/h and the distance to the front vehicle is less than 20m.
- Headlight Warning: Produces audible alerts and screen messages when detecting poor lighting conditions (rainy/cloudy weather, night, basements, parking lots, tunnels).
- FCMD (Front Car Move Detection): Issues audible alerts and screen messages when the front car moves and the user doesn't start to drive forward.
