Why & Managing Overheating on Your AKASO 360 Camera

Is Heating Normal?

✅ Yes, moderate heat during recording is expected due to the processor workload.
⚠️ Critical Safety Feature: Your camera has built-in overheating protection to prevent:

• Hardware damage
• Performance drops (noise/stripes in footage)
• Unexpected shutdowns
• Permanent failure

When Protection Triggers:

1. Camera displays warning icon
2. Automatically stops recording (saves progress)
3. Powers off

Top 5 Causes of Overheating

1. High-Intensity Recording:
   › Extended 4K+/60fps+ video sessions
   › Why? Max load on sensor/processor
2. Hot Environments:
   › Direct sunlight
   › Poorly ventilated spaces (cars, bags)
3. Blocked Ventilation:
   › Protective cases limiting airflow
   › Hand-covering heat dissipation areas
4. Processor Overload:
   › Continuous burst photos
   › Active Wi-Fi/App connections
5. Battery Issues:
   › Non-AKASO batteries
   › Aged/damaged batteries

7 Practical Solutions

1. Heed Warnings:
   › Stop recording immediately if overheating icon appears
2. Cool-Down Protocol:
   › Power off camera
   › Move to shaded, ventilated area
   › Wait 15+ minutes before reuse
3. Reduce Workload:
   › Lower resolution (e.g., 4K → 2.8K)
   › Decrease frame rate (e.g., 60fps → 30fps)
4. Optimize Setup:
   › Remove cases/accessories blocking vents
   › Use tripod instead of hand-holding
5. Avoid Heat Traps:
   › Never leave in direct sunlight
   › Store in breathable bag when not filming
6. Professional Cooling (Optional):
   › Attach mini cooling fans
   › Apply thermal cooling pads
7. Smart Recording Habits:
   › Segment long sessions (e.g., 10-min clips)
   › Allow 5-min breaks between recordings

Prevention Checklist

⚠️ If persistent overheating occurs:

1. Test without SD card (faulty cards cause excess heat)
2. Contact AKASO Support for hardware check
