DRIVE!
Drive HD Dash Cams are designed to set and forget. After initial setup the unit will turn on and
start recording as soon as power is applied. When the Micro SD Card is full the oldest footage
will be deleted to make way for the new. If you witness something that you don't want to be
deleted simply press the Emergency Record button and it will be saved forever.

BASIC OPERATION

until it locks in place. These cameras are compatible with Micro SD cards up to 64GB. Please be
sure to format the card in-camera before use. Class 10 high endurance cards from reputable
brands are recommended.
CONTINUOUS LOOP RECORDING:
Once the memory card is full, the camera will continuously overwrite the oldest footage
recorded. To protect a clip so that it will not be overwritten, press the Emergency Record
Button. The emergency record icon will show on the screen. Files can also be locked from the
