Setup and Installation

1. Prepare the Memory Card

• Insert a Class 10 (2GB - 32GB) microSD card into the dash cam's memory card slot. Ensure the card is inserted correctly.
• It is recommended to format the memory card within the dash cam settings before first use.

2. Mount the Dash Cam

The dash cam uses a suction cup mount. Choose a location on your windshield that does not obstruct your view of the road, typically behind the rearview mirror.

1. Clean the chosen area on the windshield thoroughly.
2. Attach the bracket to the dash cam.
3. Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and engage the locking mechanism to secure it.
4. Adjust the camera angle (up or down) to ensure it captures the desired view of the road.

3. Power Connection

Connect the car charger to the dash cam and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).

• Route the power cable neatly along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to avoid obstructing your view or interfering with driving controls.
• The dash cam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts and power off when the engine is turned off.

4. AV-OUT Connection (Optional)

If your car's DVD player supports AV-IN and has the necessary application installed, you can connect the dash cam's AV-OUT cable for real-time video display.

Image: This image illustrates that new and old models of the dash cam are shipped randomly, with variations in the AV-OUT cable connector type. The 'New Type' may have a red RCA connector, while the 'Old Type' may have a yellow RCA connector.

Note: The type of AV-OUT cable (e.g., NTSC/PAL) may vary between 'new' and 'old' product versions, which are shipped randomly. Please check your specific unit's cable and your car's compatibility.

Operating Instructions

Automatic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. The recording will stop when the power is cut off (e.g., when the car engine is turned off).

Loop Recording

The dash cam supports loop recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be overwritten by new recordings. You can set the video segment length to 1, 2, or 3 minutes via the app settings.

G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder on the memory card.

Night Vision

The dash cam is equipped with WDR technology and a 6-glass lens to provide high-quality video, including enhanced night vision for clear recordings in low-light conditions.
