4.3 24/7 Radar Detection Parking Monitor

When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam enters parking mode. The integrated microwave radar sensitively detects any movement in front of the car or vibrations, triggering recording to capture potential incidents.

Imaxe: Depicts the 24/7 Guard with Radar Parking Monitor, showing how microwave radar triggers recording upon movement. Also illustrates Collision Detection, where the OBD cable ensures continuous power.

4.4 G-Sensor (Collision Detection)

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. When activated, it locks and saves the current footage to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident evidence is preserved.

Imaxe: Shows the G-Sensor feature, acting as a reliable witness by automatically recording incidents and locking video footage for insurance claims, captured in 2592x1520 at 30FPS.

4.5 Seamless Loop Recording

The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked footage is automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual intervention.

4.7 Super Capacitor Technology

The Vantrue T3 utilizes a super capacitor instead of a traditional battery. This provides superior heat and cold resistance, allowing the dash cam to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 158°F (-10°C to 70°C). This design enhances durability, prevents overheating issues, and extends the device's service life.

Imaxe: Demonstrates the high performance of the Super Capacitor, providing heat resistance from 14°F to 158°F, ensuring explosion-proof operation and extended working life for stable recording.
