Operating Instructions

This section outlines the basic operation of your dash cam.

Automatic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start recording. Recording will stop when the power is disconnected (e.g., when the vehicle is turned off).

Menu Navigation

Use the buttons on the side of the device to navigate through the menu options. These options allow you to adjust settings such as video resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, and more. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific button functions.

Playback Mode

To review recorded footage, switch to playback mode. You can view videos directly on the dash cam's screen or by connecting the device to a computer via USB, or by removing the SD card and inserting it into a card reader.

Key Features

The Anytek Car Dash Cam is equipped with several advanced features to enhance your driving safety and recording experience.

Superior Night Vision & WDR

The dash cam supports excellent night vision capabilities, capturing clear images even in low light conditions. This feature is crucial for recording details not typically visible at night. The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology automatically adjusts the camera's exposure to create balanced and high-quality images and footage, ensuring clarity in varying light environments, from bright daylight to dark tunnels.

Emergency Accident Lock (G-Sensor)

Equipped with a G-sensor, the dash cam automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. When an incident occurs, the G-sensor triggers the camera to lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures that critical footage of unexpected incidents is secured and can serve as important evidence for insurance claims or accident investigations.

Loop Recording

Footage is continuously recorded in segments of 3, 5, or 10 minutes, depending on your settings. When the memory card reaches its full capacity, the dash cam will automatically overwrite the oldest unlocked file, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention. Locked files (triggered by the G-sensor) are protected from being overwritten.

170° Wide Angle Lens

The 170-degree wide-angle lens captures a broad view of the road ahead, minimizing blind spots and providing comprehensive coverage. This wide perspective ensures that more details of the driving environment are recorded, acting as your independent witness.

Motion Detection

When enabled, the motion detection feature allows the dash cam to automatically start recording if it detects movement in front of the vehicle while parked. This can be useful for monitoring your vehicle when it's unattended.

Durable Metal Shell

The dash cam features a robust zinc alloy metal shell, providing enhanced durability and heat dissipation. This construction contributes to the device's stable performance and offers anti-collision and explosion-proof properties.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam.

• Clean the Lens: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video recording. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
• SD Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card every few weeks or months, especially if you experience recording issues. This helps maintain the card's health and prevents data corruption. Always back up important files before formatting.
• Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods. While the metal shell aids in heat dissipation, excessive heat can still affect performance and battery life.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates. Updates can improve performance, add new features, or fix bugs.
