Any ruff riding vehicle will have image problems. The supplied mount doesn't offer the stability required. With image stability on, I still have a picture that is "shakey". There is no fix for this without some modification. You will find with Protect feature on it will have the red lock on the screen for most of the record time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello KG, When the 'Protect' function is activated a file containing 10 seconds prior to the incident and 20 seconds after is written to the Protected folder. The Protected Files are recorded for three different reasons: 1. The G-Sensor on the camera automatically protects the footage when unusual G-force is detected. You can adjust how sensitive the G-Sensor is within the camera's settings: A) Turn the Dash Cam on B) Ensure it is not recording (by pressing the red circle if required) C) Go into Settings (the button in the top left) D) Go into Video settings E) Scroll across to ‘G-Sensor’ F) Change this to Medium, or Low. 2. The Protect Button is pressed (the Nextbase button under the screen). 3. Parking Mode footage. Regarding the recording lengths, the camera will record continuously in small segments (1,2, or 3 minutes). 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.
