Glossary of Terms
Parking Mode
iQ has a parking mode feature that allows it to continue recording even when the vehicle is parked and
the engine is turned off. It typically uses motion detection or the G-sensor to activate recording when an
event occurs. If Parking Mode is turned On, an event will be recorded if the G-Sensor levels pass a
predetermined threshold. This threshold denotes ‘normal’ external forces; passing the threshold implies
an abnormal event, and iQ will start recording
