10. Troubleshooting (FAQ)

10.1 Camera CANNOT turn ON?

• Solution 1: Check the power cord connection. Long-press the Power Button to turn it on.
• Solution 2: If the power cable is connected but it still doesn't work, remove the SD card, press the Reset Button at the bottom of the device, then long-press the Power Button.

10.2 Videos are fuzzy?

• Ensure protective films are removed from lenses and lenses/windshield are clean.
• If due to lens being out of focus, contact support. Note: Wide-angle lenses may cause some image distortion, which is normal.

10.3 Overexposure while recording?

• Adjust the camera angle to avoid pointing directly at the sky. For the rear camera, point slightly down.

10.4 Camera Freezing, Lagging or Crashing?

• First: Try a new SD card. If it works, the issue was with the old SD card.
• Second: If a new SD card doesn't help, remove the SD card, press the Reset Button, then long-press the Power Button.

10.5 Camera turns itself ON / OFF frequently?

• Check power cable connection; ensure it's fully plugged.
• If still problematic, remove SD card, press Reset Button, then long-press Power Button.

10.6 Earliest video files are missing?

This is usually due to the Loop Recording function overwriting old, unlocked videos when the SD card is full. Locked videos are not auto-deleted.

• Ensure date and time are set correctly. Format the SD card and test recording.

10.7 Videos locked frequently and automatically?

Your G-sensor sensitivity might be too high. Adjust it to a lower level. If setting to 'Low' still causes frequent locking, turn the G-sensor OFF or contact support for a software update.

10.8 "Card Full" reminder frequently?

• Format the SD card.
• Set G-sensor to prevent frequent locking.
• Set record time to allow loop recording.
• If issues persist, press Reset Button.

10.9 SD card inserted correctly, but "SD Error" or "NO SD Card"?

• Ensure you are using the provided or a standard-compliant SD card. Replace if necessary.
• Try formatting the SD card, then long-press Power Button to turn off, re-plug power cable, and restart.
• If the camera makes a shutter sound when taking snapshots but still shows an error, the SD card might be defective. Replace it.

10.10 Rear camera view is flipped or left-right reversal?

• Set "Rear Mirror" in the Setting Menu.

10.11 Video playback on PC is lagging?

• This can happen with high-bitrate videos on slower PCs. Try recording at a lower resolution and check playback.

10.12 Camera doesn't turn off after car is off?

• The car's cigarette lighter might not be connected to 12V ACC. Use a hardwire kit (sold separately) connected to the car's fuse box to prevent battery drain. Alternatively, unplug the car charger manually each time.

10.13 Camera cannot record video or take photos?

• Ensure you're using the provided or a standard SD card.
• Ensure the SD card is formatted and inserted correctly.

10.14 Suction mount cannot attach to windshield?

10.15 Video or photo color is not good?

11. User Tips

• For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, a dedicated hardwire kit is essential. The standard cigarette lighter connection only provides power when the vehicle is running.
• Regularly check your SD card for errors and format it monthly to ensure reliable recording and prevent data loss.
• Experiment with G-Sensor sensitivity settings to find the balance that prevents frequent video locking without missing critical events.
