Operating Instructions

The KDLINKS R100 is designed for intuitive operation:

• Automatic Recording: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. Recording stops and saves when the ignition is turned off.
• Screen Display Modes: Tap the screen to switch between front camera view, rear camera view, or a split-screen display showing both simultaneously. The 5-inch IPS screen provides a clear and wide viewing angle.
• Parking Mode: The R100 features an advanced parking mode. When movement is detected while the vehicle is parked and off, the dash cam will automatically record for a short period and then power off, providing surveillance for your parked car.
• Loop Recording: The system continuously records, overwriting the oldest files when the micro SD card is full. Important footage can be manually locked to prevent overwriting.
• Night Vision: The 6-glass lens design and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology ensure superior video quality in low-light conditions.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KDLINKS R100:

• SD Card Formatting: Regularly format the micro SD card (at least once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. This can usually be done through the device's settings menu.

• Firmware Updates: Check the KDLINKS website periodically for firmware updates to ensure your device has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Temperature Control: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and component integrity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KDLINKS R100, try the following:

• Device Not Powering On: Ensure the car charger is properly connected and the vehicle's 12V outlet is functioning. Check the power cable for any damage.
• Recording Issues: Format the micro SD card. If issues persist, try a different high-speed (Class 10 or higher) micro SD card. Ensure loop recording is enabled.
• Poor Video Quality: Clean the camera lenses. Check the resolution settings in the device menu to ensure they are set to the desired quality (e.g., 1296P front, 1080P rear).
• Rear Camera Not Displaying: Check the connection cable between the main unit and the rear camera for any disconnections or damage.
