Setup
- Prepare the Memory Card: Insert a high-speed Class 10 (or higher) Micro SD card (up to 32GB) into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure the card is formatted correctly before first use (refer to the 'Operating Instructions' for formatting).
- Mount the Dash Cam: Attach the suction cup mount to a clean, dry spot on your windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct your view. Securely attach the dash cam to the mount.
- Connect Power: Use the original charging cable and car charger provided. Connect the cable to the dash cam and plug the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet. The dash cam requires continuous power from the car charger to operate. The built-in battery is primarily for saving time/date settings.
- Install Rear Camera (if applicable): If your model includes a rear camera, connect it to the main unit via the AV-In interface. Route the cable neatly and securely mount the rear camera, typically on the rear windshield or near the license plate.
- Adjust Camera Angles: Power on the dash cam and adjust the front and cabin camera lenses to capture the desired view. For the rear camera, ensure it provides a clear view of the road behind.
Important Note: Do not modify the wiring without authorization to prevent device malfunction or damage.
Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle starts and power is supplied. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off. You can also manually power on/off using the 'Power' button.
- Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically starts recording. A red indicator light or on-screen icon typically confirms recording is active.
- Menu Navigation: Use the 'Mode', 'Up', 'Down', and 'OK' buttons (as shown in the dimensions diagram) to navigate through the menu options on the display. The video demonstration shows options like 'Resolution', 'Image quality', 'Cyclic Record', 'White Balance', 'EV', and 'Motion Detection'.
Key Features
- Loop Recording: The device continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, it automatically overwrites the oldest unprotected footage. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
- Parking Monitor: When enabled, this feature allows the dash cam to detect impacts or motion while the vehicle is parked and automatically record footage. This requires a continuous power supply, often through a hardwire kit (not explicitly mentioned as included, but implied by feature).
- Night Vision: The dash cam is equipped with NightShot functionality to capture clear video even in low-light conditions.
- Reverse Image Acquisition: For models with a rear camera, when the vehicle is put into reverse, the display will automatically switch to the rear camera view, assisting with parking and showing important details like license plates.
- G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the G-sensor automatically locks the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
Maintenance
- Memory Card Management: Regularly format your Micro SD card (at least once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Always use a high-speed Class 10 memory card.
- Cleaning: Keep the camera lenses and display screen clean using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surfaces.
- Power Supply: Always use the original car charger provided with the device. Using non-original or incompatible chargers may damage the dash cam or lead to abnormal operation.
- Avoid Modifications: Do not attempt to alter the internal wiring or components of the dash cam. Unauthorized modifications can cause permanent damage and void any warranty.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and electronic components.
Troubleshooting
- Dash Cam Not Turning On: Ensure the car charger is properly connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check if the vehicle's 12V outlet is functioning.
- Dash Cam Not Recording: Verify that a Class 10 Micro SD card is inserted correctly and has sufficient free space. Format the card if necessary. Check recording settings in the menu.
- Poor Video Quality: Ensure the camera lenses are clean and free from obstructions. Check the video resolution settings in the menu (set to 1080P for best quality).
- Device Freezing/Unresponsive: Try resetting the device by pressing and holding the power button for 10-15 seconds. If the issue persists, remove the memory card and try again.
- Rear Camera Not Displaying: Check the connection of the rear camera cable to the main unit. Ensure the cable is not damaged.
User Tips
- For optimal performance, always use a high-quality, genuine Class 10 Micro SD card from a reputable brand.
- Periodically review your recorded footage to ensure the dash cam is functioning as expected and capturing clear video.
- Consider routing cables neatly along the car's interior trim to avoid obstructing your view and for a cleaner installation.
