Instruccions de funcionament

1. Enregistrament automàtic

Once powered on, the Orbit 500 will automatically begin loop recording. This means it records video in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) and, once the microSD card is full, it will automatically overwrite the oldest files. Això garanteix un enregistrament continu sense intervenció manual.

2. G-Sensor for Emergency File Estalvi

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or impacts. When such an event occurs, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the microSD card. These locked files will not be overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence. You can adjust the G-Sensor sensitivity in the device settings.
