There is a feature you can turn on named ‘Intelligent Parking’ mode that automatically records any bump or physical movement on the vehicle when left unattended. Both the front and rear camera will record for 15-seconds I believe. As soon as you park and the ignition is turned off, the Dash Cam will automatically switch into Parking Mode by shutting down everything except the G Force sensor. The sensitivity of the G Force sensor is then increased dramatically.

It will record these segments consecutively until the SD card is full. Then the oldest piece of footage will be deleted and the newest will be saved in it's place. This will continue looping and is called Continuous Overwriting. The Dash Cam does this automatically to allow for more footage to be recorded and the old, unnecessary footage to be deleted without manual intervention. However Protected Files are not overwritten in the same way as normal files. If you do not format regularly, these files can build up and reduce the capacity of storage available for normal footage. It is essential to format every two weeks to delete any protected files and clear the card ready for continued usage. The camera will record as long as power is provided to the camera. If using the cigarette lighter cable, this will only be when the car is turned on. If using a Hard Wire Kit, then this can be attached to a permanently live fuse, providing power to the camera at all times. We do not recommend recording 24/7 as the card would overwrite multiple times in that period, so we'd recommend using Parking Mode instead. For Parking Mode, if the camera is completely still for five minutes (the car is parked), then the camera will 'hibernate' in Parking Mode. If your car is bumped and the G Force sensor registers movement then the dash cam will automatically turn on, record for 30 seconds and then shut back down again. If you are unlucky enough to be hit twice in a row then the dash cam would automatically record again and capture both events.
