Specifications

Setup

1. Prepare Memory Card

   Insert a compatible MicroSD card (up to 128GB, not included) into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure the card is inserted correctly. It is recommended to format the memory card within the dash cam settings before first use.

2. Mounting the Main Unit

   Choose a suitable location on your front windshield that does not obstruct your view. Clean the windshield surface thoroughly. Attach the dash cam securely using the provided mounting bracket. Adjust the angle of the front camera to capture the road ahead clearly.

3. Installing Additional Cameras

   Rear Camera: Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield or license plate area. Route the cable discreetly along the vehicle's interior trim to the main dash cam unit. Connect the rear camera cable to the appropriate port on the main unit.

   Interior/Side Cameras: Position the interior and side cameras to cover the desired areas. Route their cables to the main unit and connect them.

4. Power Connection

   Connect the provided power cord to the dash cam's USB 2.0 / Type-C power interface and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). For continuous power or parking monitoring, an optional hardwire kit (not included) may be required.

5. Initial Power On

   Once connected to power, the dash cam should automatically power on when your vehicle starts. Follow the on-screen prompts for initial setup, including setting the date, time, and preferred language.

Operating Instructions

1. Automatic Recording

   The dash cam is designed to automatically start recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. Recording will stop when the ignition is turned off.

2. Cycle Recording

   The dash cam utilizes cycle recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. Emergency videos (triggered by G-sensor) are protected from being overwritten.

3. High-Definition Recording

   The front camera records in 1080P resolution, ensuring clear and detailed footage. Other cameras record at 640*480P. This high resolution helps capture important details like license plates and road signs.

4. Night Vision

   Integrated infrared lights enhance recording clarity in low-light conditions, providing reliable footage even at night.

5. Reverse Assistance

   When the vehicle is put into reverse, the dash cam automatically switches to display the rear camera feed on the screen, often with backup guidelines for easier parking and maneuvering.

6. Motion Detection

   When enabled, the dash cam will start recording if motion is detected in front of the vehicle. This feature is useful for monitoring your parked car.

7. Parking Detection

   This feature (requires an optional cable, not included) allows the dash cam to record when impacts or vibrations are detected while the vehicle is parked, providing surveillance against hit-and-runs or vandalism.

8. Date and Time Watermark

   All recorded videos will have a date and time watermark, which can be crucial for evidence purposes.

9. Mobile App Interconnection

   The dash cam supports mobile app connectivity, allowing you to view live footage, playback recordings, and manage settings directly from your smartphone. Refer to the app's instructions for pairing and usage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning

  Regularly clean the camera lenses and the display screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.

• Memory Card Management

  To ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption, it is recommended to format the memory card every 1-2 months. Back up any important footage before formatting.

• Temperature Considerations

  Operate the dash cam within the specified temperature range of -20℃ to +70℃. Extreme temperatures can affect battery life and device performance.

Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On

  Check the power connection. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Verify the vehicle's power outlet is functioning.

• Recording Issues

  Ensure a compatible memory card is inserted and properly formatted. Check if the memory card is full; if so, format it (after backing up important files). If issues persist, try a different memory card.

• Poor Video Quality

  Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Check the resolution settings in the dash cam menu.

• Screen Freezing/Unresponsive

  Try resetting the device. If a reset button is available, use a thin object to press it. Otherwise, disconnect power for a few minutes and reconnect.

• Rear Camera Not Displaying

  Check the connection cable between the rear camera and the main unit. Ensure it is securely connected at both ends.

User Tips

• Optimal Card Choice: Always use a high-quality, high-speed (Class 10 or U3 recommended) MicroSD card from a reputable brand to ensure reliable recording.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check your dash cam's recording status and review footage to ensure it's functioning correctly, especially after long periods of inactivity or extreme weather.
• Cable Management: Route power and camera cables neatly and securely to avoid obstructing your view or interfering with vehicle controls. Use cable clips if necessary.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates, which can improve performance and add new features.
