Setup Guide
1. SD Card Preparation
- Insert the provided 64GB Micro SD Card into the dashcam.
- For first-time use, format the SD card directly within the dashcam settings.
- It is recommended to reformat the SD card monthly to maintain optimal performance.
- The dashcam supports Micro SD cards up to 128GB. For reliable performance, use a Class 10 or U3 speed rating Micro SD card from a reputable brand like SanDisk.
2. Dashcam Installation
- Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dashcam.
- Apply the electrostatic film to the chosen area on the windshield.

- Use the provided cable hiding clips and car wiring tool to neatly route the Micro USB Power Cable from the dashcam to the USB Car Charger plugged into your vehicle's power outlet.
- Ensure the dashcam is always connected to external power while in use, as it relies on a Super Capacitor for memory retention, not a battery for continuous operation.
3. Rear Camera Installation
- Mount the rear camera at the back of your vehicle, ensuring a clear view.
