5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The dash cam automatically powers on/off with your vehicle's ignition. You can also manually power it on/off by pressing and holding the power button.
- Recording: Once powered on and an SD card is inserted, the dash cam will automatically start continuous loop recording. A red indicator light or on-screen icon usually confirms recording is active.
- Menu Navigation: Use the physical buttons (Up, Down, OK, Menu) to navigate through the settings menu on the built-in screen.
5.2 Advanced Features
- G-Sensor: In the event of a sudden impact or emergency braking, the G-Sensor will automatically lock the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
- Loop Recording: Videos are recorded in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked file is deleted to make space for new recordings.
- Parking Monitor: When enabled and connected to a hardwire kit, the dash cam can detect impacts or motion while the vehicle is parked and automatically record.
- WiFi App Control: Connect your smartphone to the dash cam's WiFi network. Use the dedicated app to:
- View live video feed from both cameras.
- Browse and playback recorded videos.
- Download video files to your phone.
- Adjust dash cam settings (resolution, G-Sensor sensitivity, loop recording duration, etc.).
6. Maintenance
- SD Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) within the dash cam's settings menu to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
- Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or app periodically for firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware up-to-date can improve performance and add new features.
7. Troubleshooting
- Dash Cam not turning on:
- Ensure the car charger is properly connected and the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is receiving power.
- Check the power cable for any damage.
- "No Card" or "Card Error" message:
- Ensure a Class 10 or higher Micro SD card is inserted correctly.
- Try formatting the SD card via the dash cam's settings menu.
- If the issue persists, try a different, high-quality Micro SD card.
- Cannot connect to Wi-Fi / App issues:
- Ensure the dash cam's WiFi is enabled in the settings.
- Verify you are connecting to the correct WiFi network (SSID) and using the correct password displayed on the dash cam screen.
- Make sure your smartphone's WiFi is enabled and connected to the dash cam's network, not your home WiFi or mobile data.
- Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone.
- Ensure you have downloaded the correct app (e.g., 'LUFENGZHE' or 'ActionCam').
- Motion detection not activating / Parking Monitor not working:
- Ensure the motion detection/parking monitor feature is enabled in the settings.
- For 24-hour parking monitoring, a hardwire kit (not included) is required to provide continuous power to the dash cam when the vehicle is off. The internal battery is typically for emergency recording only.
- Battery drains quickly when car is off:
- The built-in battery is primarily for emergency recording (G-Sensor activated) and saving settings. It is not designed for extended operation without external power.
- For continuous parking surveillance, a hardwire kit is necessary to draw power directly from the car battery.
- Video quality is poor:
- Clean the camera lenses.
- Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses.
- Check the video resolution settings in the dash cam menu.
