Note:

• All data on the microSD card will be deleted during formatting. Backup important data.
• Always format the card in the camera to ensure compatibility.
• Do not remove or insert the memory card when the Mirror Dash Cam is turned on, as this may damage the card.
• Periodically reformat the memory card (every 2-3 weeks) after downloading desired files.

2. Attaching the Mirror Dash Cam

1. Fix the recorder on the original rearview mirror of the car using the provided straps. The straps are designed to be cut for size adjustment and should fit tightly.

3. Internal Camera Installation

1. Uncover the 3M tape protective film and lens protective film of the internal camera.
2. Attach the internal camera to a suitable position on the front windshield.

4. Rear Camera Installation

There are two recommended positions for the rear camera:

1. Position 1 (Rear Windshield): Install the rear camera on the rear windshield. This position is easier for live stream rear view only and not for reversing guide.
2. Position 2 (Near License Plate - Highly Recommended): Install the rear camera near the license plate. This position provides a crisp and clear image for both live stream rear view and reversing guide.

For the reversing guide feature, install the rear camera in Position 2, then connect the red trigger cable of the rear camera extension cable to the positive lead of the car reversing lamp.

Installation Notes:

• Pay attention to the connector position when connecting the rear camera to the extension cable.
• Clean the installation area thoroughly to ensure adhesive quality.
• Regularly clean the rear windshield if using Position 1 for optimal image quality.
• If using Position 2, you can install the rear camera with the included adhesive sticker or screws.
• Adjust the lens position to ensure it is level with the ground.
• Start the engine and check if the device is installed correctly.
• Make connections first and ensure the machine works well before final installation.
• Keep away from driving operations and active car parts. Avoid catching wires in screws or seat gaps.
• When drilling holes, ensure no vibrators, tanks, or wires are damaged.
• Before attaching double-sided tape, remove stains or oil with alcohol cleaner.
• In low temperatures, warm up the mounting surface with a dryer to improve adhesion.
• The provided 3M sticker cannot be reused.

5. Power and GPS Connection

1. Connect the car charger to the car cigarette lighter port, then connect the TYPE-C connector to the TYPE-C power port of the mirror dash cam.

Troubleshooting (FAQ)

Q: The camera cannot record video or take photos?

A: Ensure you are using a suitable memory card (Speed over Class 10, up to 256GB) and that it is formatted properly and inserted correctly.

Q: The camera automatically stops recording?

A: Format the memory card in the settings menu. The G-sensor might be triggered too often, locking too many video files. Try keeping the sensitivity low.

Q: The camera cannot turn on?

A: This camera features a built-in battery for saving video files after external power cuts off, not for continuous operation. It will not turn on without external power supply. Check the power supply, ensure it's connected properly, the power indicator on the power adapter is on, and connectors are tight.

Q: The recorded video is unclear?

A: Make sure there are no fingerprints or dirt on the lens. Try adjusting the angle to avoid blocks, glare, or windshield reflections.

Q: The camera crashes or is not responding to operations?

A: Use a pin or unfolded paper clip to press the RESET button to restart the camera.

User Tips

• For optimal parking monitoring, consider purchasing the hardwire kit. This enables 24-hour surveillance and time-lapse recording, saving memory space.
• Regularly check the rear camera's lens for dirt or condensation, especially if installed externally, to ensure clear reversing views.
• Experiment with the G-sensor sensitivity settings. If you experience frequent locked files from minor bumps, reduce the sensitivity.
• Utilize the Wi-Fi app for easy video review and sharing. It's a convenient way to access footage without removing the SD card.
• When adjusting the camera angle, remember that the view angle adjustment is disabled in dual-camera display modes. Switch to a single camera view for precise adjustments.
