RADAR Module

When in Energy Saving Mode 2.0, the Radar Module allows the U1000/X1000/Q1000 dash cam to extend its Parking Surveillance mode duration by reducing power consumption.
When a motion event is detected by the Radar Module, the dash cam wakes up and gets ready to record.

If an impact is detected, a 20-second video (10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the impact) is saved in a dedicated folder on the MicroSD card.
When no impacts are detected, the dash cam does not save the footage and resumes Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
