- Plug the other end of the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
- The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's engine starts, and power off when the engine is turned off.
4.4. Initial Settings
Upon first use or after a reset, configure basic settings:
- Date and Time: Set the correct date and time for accurate timestamps on recordings.
- Language: Select your preferred language for the menu interface.
- Video Resolution: Choose your desired recording resolution (e.g., 1440P+1440P dual channel, or 4K single channel).
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Basic Recording (Loop Recording)
The dash cam automatically starts recording when powered on. It records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 2, or 3-minute segments). When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten by new recordings.

5.2. G-Sensor (Emergency Accident Locks)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current recording file to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files serve as crucial evidence.

5.3. 24H Parking Monitor
When enabled, the parking monitor function allows the dash cam to record events even when your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This feature typically requires a dedicated ACC hardwire kit (not included) to provide continuous power and low battery voltage protection.

5.6. Superior Night Vision & WDR Technology
