new features

CLONE MODECameras connected to each other via Wi-Fi are able to see and communicate with each other allowing

synchronous recording and mode changing.

Up to 5 cameras can be connected and on the same Clone Mode network.

CAR DVR MODE This hands off mode setting is ideal for insurance and security purposes. The Car DVR Mode automatically

turns the camera on when power is supplied via the USB port. The camera then records footage in a

continuous loop style (CAR DVR Intervals) recording loop after loop until it fills the Micro SD Card. Once full,

the oldest loops will be deleted to make way for the newer footage.

The current interval settings are 1min / 3min / 5min / 10min and 15min.

BIT RATEUsers can select to keep the normal compression used by the H.264 codec, or if they prefer, allow a higher

flow of data up to 35Mbps for preserving more of the original recording.

MEMORY RECOVERYWhen the camera shuts off unexpectedly, for example if the battery is pulled out accidentally, users will now

be prompted upon power up to recover the memory file of the video that was being recorded.

SCENE MODEThis mode is ideal to help the user achieve the best shot possible by selecting either Normal, Vivid or Low

Light options.

Normal: Use this mode as the ‘go to’ setting. This is also the default setting and will give the most natural

colour palette.

Vivid: This mode is best used when you want more saturated footage.

Low Light: This setting should only be used in low light settings such as filming at night or indoors with

less ambient lighting.

It is advisable for the best results to shoot at 25/30 fps in low light.

future video.
