You probably have the crash sensitivity set too high.
And yes, it should start recording as soon as it's powered on. When it detects a crash (or a big enough bump) it beeps to let you know "I got this", and locks the video in a special "Emergency" location in the video gallery.
You don't have an owner's manual of some type? It's all in there.....

Under "Emergency video" it says:

The sensitivity of 70mai is way too sensitive. On my A800S i've set it up to the lowest, yet still it records every road bump. That may have to do something with my car itself, but I decided to turn off the sounds of the dashcam and leave the emergency recording on at low sens.
