Setup Guide
1. Prepare the Micro SD Card
A micro SD card (up to 32GB, not included) is required for operation. Before first use, format the SD card within the dash cam's settings to ensure proper functionality and prevent recording errors. Use a high-speed Class 10 or higher micro SD card.
2. Install the Front Dash Cam
- Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dash cam.
- Attach the suction mount to the dash cam.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and lock it into place. Position the camera to ensure a clear view of the road without obstructing your driving vision.

3. Install the Rear Camera
- Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield or license plate area. Ensure it has a clear view.
- Connect the rear camera cable to the main dash cam unit.
- Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to avoid interference with driving.

4. Power Connection
Connect the car charger to the dash cam's power input and plug the other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle starts, and power off when the vehicle is turned off.
Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The device powers on automatically with vehicle ignition. To manually power on/off, press and hold the power button.
- Recording: Recording starts automatically when the device powers on. A flashing red dot usually indicates active recording.
- Menu Navigation: Use the menu buttons (usually labeled 'M' or with arrows) to navigate through settings and options on the LCD display.
Loop Recording
The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures you always have the most recent footage.

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 SD card.

Parking Monitor
When enabled, the parking monitor function allows the dash cam to automatically record if it detects a collision or vibration while your vehicle is parked. This feature requires a continuous power supply, typically through a hardwire kit (sold separately) or a dedicated power bank, as the standard car charger only provides power when the ignition is on.

Night Vision and WDR
The dash cam incorporates 6 unique infrared LED fill lights and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. These features work together to enhance video clarity and exposure balance, ensuring optimal recording quality even in low-light conditions or at night.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- SD Card Management: Regularly format your micro SD card (at least once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and device performance.
- Firmware Updates: Check the ORSKEY official website periodically for any available firmware updates to ensure your device has the latest features and bug fixes.
