Parking Surveillance Mode

Prepare and install the parking surveillance cable correctly. This is a necessary condition for triggering the parking surveillance mode, allowing the dash cam to protect your vehicle while parked.

To enable the feature:

1. Via the Dash Cam's Menu:

    ● Press the function button below the settings icon to access the settings.

    ● Select "Video Settings" > "Parking Surveillance Function" and turn it on.

2. Via the KAWA AUTO App:

    ● Open the app and click on the dash cam to enter the preview interface.

    ● Tap on the settings icon in the top right corner of the dash cam preview.

    ● Navigate to "Advanced Settings" > "Parking Surveillance Function" and turn it on.

Triggering the Parking Surveillance Mode:

With the parking surveillance function enabled, when the vehicle's engine is turned off, the dash cam enters standby mode. If the built-in G-sensor detects a collision within five minutes, it will record an emergency surveillance video. After five minutes, any further collisions detected by the G-sensor will trigger parking surveillance video recording.

Adjusting Collision Sensitivity:

To adjust the collision sensitivity:

    ● Press the function button below the settings icon to access the settings.

    ● Navigate to "Video Settings" > "Parking Surveillance" > "Collision Detection Sensitivity" and select the desired option.

Or:

    ● In the KAWA AUTO app, click on the dash cam to enter the preview interface.

    ● Tap on the settings icon in the top right corner.

    ● Find "Advanced Settings" > "Parking Surveillance Function" > "Collision Detection Sensitivity" and select the desired option.

Recommendation:

If the parking surveillance recordings frequently trigger when the car doors are closed, consider selecting a lower sensitivity level.

Time-Lapse Photography:

When the vehicle's engine is off, the dash cam records video at a sampling rate of 1 frame per second. For example, a one-minute recording is actually a compressed video of 30 minutes, known as a time-lapse video.

In time-lapse mode, the dash cam continuously records the scene in its field of view and plays back the video at a speed 30 times faster than real-world events. If any abnormal events occur, the dash cam can record the cause and impact of the event as evidence.
