To lock the video so it doesn’t erase, yes. It has a button on it to protect any video that you want to save.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, For a 522GW, 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 on the SD card. 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. All Parking Mode footage is Protected Footage.
