ELITE security 24/7

Smart Event Detection automatically registers collisions, sudden braking, hard acceleration, sharp turns and more thanks to the built-in G-sensor and GPS.

  • The dashcam creates 1-minute event recordings of these events. Each recording of an incident contains 10 seconds of footage from before the incident itself. Ideal for evidence.
  • Important footage is preserved thanks to “Event File Protection.” The last 50 event recordings remain protected from being overwritten.
