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.

Motion Detection:

When the vehicle's engine is off and the dash cam is in standby mode, it will record an emergency video if it detects movement around the vehicle.

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.

When All Three Features Are Enabled:

When the dash cam detects the ACC OFF signal on the parking surveillance cable, it will enter motion detection mode. If a collision or suspicious person triggers the parking surveillance recording, the dash cam will record accordingly. During this process, the dash cam's screen will not turn on.
