This should neither distract the driver nor block the drivers view<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does the Z-Edge R1 dash cam stop recording after some time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If motion detection is enabled, the dash cam will automatically stop recording when no movements is detected for more than 15 seconds (see 3.7).<\/li><li>Your micro SD card may be full and need to be formatted before using again. 1080P HD videos are big in size and G-sensor locked videos cannot be erased automatically. We recommend formatting your memory card every 14 days.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you recommend Class 10 micro SD card or above?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1080P HD video has a bigger data flow and hence requires a micro SD card with faster writing speed. If memory cards below Class 10 are used, they may cause the dash cam to freeze or other related video recording\/erasing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I turn off audio during recording?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn off the Audio Recording, short press the &#8216;<strong>Down<\/strong>&#8216; button during recording.

This can happen simultaneously whilst the dash cam is plugged into your car and recording. The battery can last 5-10 mins on a full charge depending on the model and environmental temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I record videos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All dash cams are programmed to automatically record when there is power connected and a memory card inserted. When the engine is turned off, or power is disconnected, the dash cam will stop recording approximately after 3-10 secs. Manually start\/stop recording by pressing the &#8216;OK&#8217; button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to connect the Z-Edge R1 dash cam to phone\uff1f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
