• G-sensor: Detects collisions or sudden shocks and locks the current recording file to prevent it from being overwritten.
• Parking mode: When active, the camera automatically starts recording for 20 seconds if it detects a shock while the car is parked.
• Motion detection: Automatically records when movement is detected in the camera's field of view.
