Setup

1. Choosing an Installation Location

Select a location on your windshield that provides a clear view of the road ahead, does not obstruct the driver's vision, and does not interfere with airbag deployment. Ensure the lens is not blocked by wipers or other objects.

2. Mounting the Dashcam

1. Clean the chosen area on the windshield thoroughly with an alcohol wipe and let it dry.
2. Attach the double-sided tape to the GPS built-in bracket.
3. Firmly press the bracket onto the cleaned windshield area for at least 30 seconds.
4. Slide the DRY-ST2000c dashcam unit onto the mounted bracket until it clicks into place.

3. Inserting the microSD Card

With the device powered off, gently insert the provided 8GB microSD card into the card slot until it clicks. Ensure the card is inserted in the correct orientation.

4. Connecting Power

1. Connect the 5V converter cigarette plug cord to the dashcam's power input port.
2. Plug the other end of the cigarette plug cord into your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket.
3. Route the cable neatly along the windshield and dashboard edges to avoid obstructing your view or driving controls.

5. Initial Settings

Upon first power-on, you may need to set the date, time, and other preferences. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for menu navigation.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

• Automatic Power On/Off: The dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on, and power is supplied. It will power off shortly after the ignition is turned off.
• Manual Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button (if available) for a few seconds to manually turn the device on or off.

Recording Modes

• Continuous Recording: The device continuously records video in 1-minute segments. When the microSD card is full, the oldest files will be overwritten by new recordings (loop recording).
• Event Recording (G-Sensor): If the G-sensor detects a sudden impact or collision, the current recording segment and a segment before/after the event will be automatically saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten.
• Manual Recording (One-Touch): Press the designated button (refer to device layout) to manually save the current recording segment to the protected folder.
• Parking Surveillance (Motion Detection): With an optional constant power supply accessory, the dashcam can monitor for motion while the vehicle is parked and automatically record if movement is detected.
