Setup

1. Installing the Micro SD Card

1. Attach the car mount to the windshield in a position that does not obstruct your view.
2. Securely attach the DVR camera to the car mount.
3. Adjust the camera angle to ensure both lenses capture the desired view (front and interior/side). The dual lenses are 180-degree rotatable.

3. Power Connection

Connect the car charger to the DVR camera's power input and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The camera will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts and power off when the vehicle is turned off.
