JOBO Carcam 720P Manual De Instrucciones página 6

The most important settings are described under 1, 4, 5, 7 below:
1. Resolution:
You can choose 720 P resolution with 25 or 30 fps. This is the optimum choice. To economise memory
space you can also choose the lower resolution of 480P. The maximum resolution of 1080 is an
interpolated size with only 15 fps and can lead to blurred images. We recommend to always use the
720 P setting.
2. Exposure:
Here you can set the camera to over expose with 1/3 or 2/3 aperture in case of strong facing light or
underexpose correspondingly depending on the lighting conditions. Usually the default setting of +0/0
will lead to good results.
3. White Balance:
By default this is set to "auto". Depending on very sunny, or cloudy weather or operation in-door the
camera can be manually set to the corresponding environment.
4. Cyclic record (loop recording):
This important setting allows the camera to make loop recordings. You can set the camera to make 2,
5, or 10 minute video clips. Whenever the (optional) micro SD card is full, the oldest recording loop
will be over-written. Loop recording can also be switched off.
In the normal On Screen Display (OSD) the loop recording is symbolized by a pictogram. The chosen
video sequence length is also indicated underneath the pictogram.
5. motion detection:
If this feature is activated, the camera will instantly start recording when turned on as soon as a
movement is detected within the viewing angle of the CARcam. After 10 seconds without motion
within viewing angle the camera recording is switched off again. As soon as a new movement is
detected the recording automatically restarts.
This allows for use of surveillance purposes as long as the camera battery is fully charged or as long as
the camera is connected to the car power supply.
When the motion detector is activated the pictogram of a runner is shown in the OSD.
6. recording:
The sound recording can be activated or deactivated. If sound recording is activated the pictogram of
a microphone is shown in the OSD.
7. regular OFF-screen
This function allows you to activate auto-power off of the display after 2, 5, or 10 minutes of making
no camera settings. If this setting is activate the camera will not power off. Only the display will be
blank while the camera will still be operating. We recommend to keep this function deactivated.
