12Feature OverviewCAR DVR MODEThis hands-o mode is ideal for insurance and security purposes. The camera records footage in a continuous loop style (DVR Intervals) recording loop after loop until it fills the MicroSD Card. Once full, the oldest loops will be deleted as the newer ones are saved. The DVR loop interval can be 10s, 30s, 1min, 2min, 5min or 10min. VIDEO TAGGINGWhen activated, this feature allows the camera to continuously record video, but only save when important footage is “Tagged”. While recording video, pressing the button will save past, present and future video. For example, with a video tagging interval of 30s selected, the camera will save the previous 30s, and an additional 30s – a total of 1m “tagged” footage. The Video Tagging feature requires a class 10 micro SD card with 4GB of free space to function correctly. INSTANT ON MODEEnabling Instant On Mode allows the camera to turn on, and start recording with a single press of the button.
13 Feature OverviewFILTERQuickly tailor your cameras settings to the recording conditions with filters. Choose between Normal / Vivid / Low Light BIT RATEUsers can choose 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 result in a bigger file size.
