2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure all accessories are present in the package. If anything is missing, contact customer service.
- Turn off the car engine completely before beginning installation.
- Insert a high-speed TF-Card (Class 10 or above) into the Card Slot on the Car DVR. The maximum supported volume is 128GB.
2.2 Installation Steps
The dash cam is designed for non-destructive installation, supporting multiple power connection methods.
- Confirm Position: We suggest installing the dash cam near the rearview mirror or in the middle of the windshield for optimal coverage. Clean the chosen area with a cloth, ensuring no dirt remains.
- Attach Dash Cam: Find the matched 3M double-sided tape, peel off the backing, and firmly attach the dash cam to the selected installation position.
- Connect Power: The dash cam supports various power connection methods:
- Plug and Play Cable: This method uses existing power sources like rain sensors, reading light panels, sunroofs, or anti-glare devices. This is generally the easiest method.
- ACC Cable to Fuse Box: Connect the ACC cable to the car's fuse box power supply. This method supports all vehicle models and is required for 24-hour parking monitoring.
- OBD Cable: Connect the power supply using an OBD cable. This method also supports all vehicle models.
- USB Plug: For some models, power can be supplied via a USB plug.
- Route Cables: Carefully route all connecting cables to ensure they are hidden and do not obstruct your view or interfere with vehicle operation.

3.3 Automatic Recording Function
The Car DVR will power on and start recording automatically when the car starts. The blue indicator will flash. The Car DVR will save the records and power off automatically when the car engine is turned off. Recorded images are saved on the memory card as clips. When the memory card is full, new clips will automatically overwrite old clips (loop recording). The default recording time is 1 minute per clip.
3.4 Loop Recording
The device supports video segmentation recording and automatically starts loop recording. It overwrites the earliest video files when the memory card is full, ensuring continuous recording without missing seconds. Previously unlocked video clips will be covered.
3.5 24-Hour Parking Monitoring
This function requires connecting the ACC cable to the fuse box power supply. After the car is turned off, the recorder enters standby mode. If the car is subjected to severe vibrations, the recorder will automatically turn on and record for 30-60 seconds before automatically turning off to avoid battery depletion.
3.6 Gravity Sensing (G-Sensor) and Emergency Lock
The gravity sensing emergency locking function automatically locks the current video file in case of a collision or significant vibration, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
3.7 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and High Dynamic Stabilization (HDR)
The dash cam utilizes WDR synthesis technology and HDR stabilization to combine light and dark contrasts, ensuring clear and true-to-life picture quality even in challenging weather conditions or varying light environments.
3.8 H.265 Video Encoding Technology
The dash cam employs H.265 video encoding to reduce real-time latency, improve video compression efficiency, and enhance image quality. This technology also saves memory space and allows for longer video duration compared to older encoding methods like H.264.
4. Maintenance
4.1 TF Card Maintenance
It is recommended to format the TF card once every other month. Before formatting, back up any important data. Periodically formatting the DVR memory card helps prevent data loss and ensures normal operation of the DVR.
4.2 Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam lens and body. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device.
