If the included 12v cigarette power cable is used the dash cam’s impact sensor will trigger a short video recording when an impact is sensed when the car is parked, then return to standby mode so that the device will not drain your vehicle’s battery.
If a hardwire kit is used then the digital rearview mirror can record time lapse video for up to 24 hour at 5 fps even when the car is off.

Formatting the MicroSD Card
“The Memory card formatting is the process of preparing the MicroSD Card for data storage. It cleans the SD Card by removing previously existing files on the card and creating a new file system.
Unlike erasing, formatting improves the overall performance of the SD Card. Due to the constant overwriting cycles with your Acumen Dash Cam, we recommend formatting regularly to extend the lifespan of your MicroSD Card.
If you don’t format the card regularly, a bad block may result in a corrupt file.”

The hardwire kit will automatically detect the battery voltage, and if the voltage is lower than 12V,it will automatically cut off the power supply to protect the battery from running out of power.
