This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Tellur Dash Patrol DC1 and DC2 FullHD Dash Cams, including their functions, technical specifications, usage features, and maintenance guidelines.
Function Description
The Tellur Dash Patrol DC1 and DC2 are FullHD Dash Cams designed for automotive use, recording video in 1920x1080p or 1280x720p resolution. These devices automatically start recording when the car is turned on and stop when the engine is off. They feature a 1.5" color display and a 140° field of view.
Key functions include:
- Video Recording: Continuous loop recording in 1, 3, or 5-minute segments. Videos are saved to a microSD card (Class 10 or above, up to 32GB, not included).
- Photo Capture: The device can also function as a camera, taking still images.
- G-Sensor (Gravity Induction): Automatically locks and saves video files during a collision or significant external vibration, preventing them from being overwritten. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted (OFF/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW).
- Parking Monitoring: When activated and the vehicle is off, the dash cam will automatically start recording and lock for 15 seconds if it detects external vibration. It then shuts down after 20 seconds and reactivates upon subsequent vibrations. This feature requires the recorder to be connected to a power supply.
- Motion Detection: When enabled, the camera starts recording for 10 seconds if it detects movement in its field of view. Subsequent detections will trigger additional 10-second recordings.
- Audio Recording: Can be turned ON or OFF via the settings menu or quickly during recording.
- Date and Time Stamp: Videos can include a date and time stamp.
- License Plate Marking: Allows users to input their license plate number, which will be marked on the recorded video.
