The Hardwire Kit features settable voltage gears (11.8V / 12.0V / 12.2V). When the car battery voltage drops below the set value, the kit automatically cuts off power to prevent battery drain. General recommended setting: 11.8V.

6.3.2 Smart Tip Light

**Red Light:** Indicates car battery voltage is lower than the set protection value. The dash cam will power OFF.
**Green Light:** Indicates car battery voltage is higher than the set protection value. The dash cam will operate normally.

6.4 Radar Parking Monitor

The dash cam features built-in 360° radar sensing for parking monitoring, covering 1m to 1.5m around the car.

6.4.1 Radar's Lights

**Radar Working Light:** Always red when ACC is disconnected and radar switch is ON (1 or 2).
**Radar Sensor Light:** Flashes red when moving objects are detected within range; off when no objects are detected.

**WiFi:** The WiFi function is for local preview, playback, and sharing via the TsCam app. It does not support remote monitoring. If you can't find the dash cam's WiFi network, restart your phone's WiFi and refresh the network list. Modifying the WiFi name is not recommended; change the password via the app if needed.
**Button Cell:** The dash cam uses a button cell for temperature resistance, which is non-rechargeable.
**Viewing Footage:** For the best viewing experience, transfer video files to a computer rather than relying solely on the dash cam's preview screen.
**Installation:** Ensure all cables are neatly tucked away in car crevices for a clean installation.
