3. Setup and Installation

1. Prepare Memory Card: Insert a Class 10 or higher TF card (up to 32GB, not included) into the dash cam's TF card slot. Format the card within the dash cam's settings before first use.
2. Mount the Front Dash Cam:
   • Attach the suction cup bracket to the dash cam.
   • Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dash cam.
   • Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and lock it in place. Position the camera to ensure a clear view of the road ahead without obstructing your driving view.
3. Install the Rear View Camera:
   • Connect the rear view camera cable to the AV input port on the main dash cam unit.
   • Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to the rear of the vehicle.
   • Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield or near the license plate area, ensuring it has a clear view. The rear camera is waterproof.
4. Connect Power:
   • Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
   • Connect the other end of the car charger cable to the Micro USB port on the dash cam.
   • The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The device powers on automatically with vehicle ignition and powers off after ignition is turned off. You can also manually power on/off by pressing and holding the power button.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically starts loop recording. A red dot or similar indicator on the screen confirms recording is active.
• Playback: Access recorded videos and photos through the playback mode on the touch screen.
• Settings: Navigate through the menu using the touch screen to adjust settings such as video resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, date/time, etc.

4.2 Key Functions

• Loop Recording:

  The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten. Ensure this feature is enabled in settings for continuous recording.

• G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor):

  In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will detect the event and automatically lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is preserved. Adjust sensitivity in settings.

• Parking Monitoring:

  When enabled, the dash cam will automatically turn on and record a short video (e.g., 30 seconds) if it detects a shock or vibration while the vehicle is parked. This feature requires a continuous power supply or the dash cam's internal battery to be charged.

• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) & HDR (High Dynamic Range):

  These technologies help the camera capture clearer video in challenging lighting conditions, such as strong backlight or very dark areas, by balancing exposure.

5. Maintenance

• Memory Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the TF card regularly (e.g., once a month) within the dash cam's settings to prevent data corruption and ensure optimal performance. Back up any important files before formatting.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lens and screen. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• 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 manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates to improve performance and add new features.
