3. Setup

3.1 MicroSD Card Installation

Before first use, insert a high-speed (Class 10 or higher) MicroSD card into the dash camera. A Samsung 128GB Pro Endurance microSD is recommended for optimal performance due to constant read/write cycles. Format the card within the camera settings after insertion.

3.2 Mounting the Dash Camera

1. Clean the windshield area where the dash camera will be mounted.
2. Attach the suction mount to the front unit.
3. Securely attach the suction mount to the windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct your view.
4. Adjust the camera angle to capture the road ahead clearly.

3.3 Rear Camera Installation (Optional)

If your package includes a rear camera, connect it to the main unit using the provided cable. Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view. Route the cable neatly to avoid interference with vehicle operation.

3.4 Power Connection

Connect the power cable to the dash camera and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The camera will typically power on and begin recording automatically when the vehicle starts.

3.5 GPS Logger Connection

Connect the GPS logger to the designated port on the dash camera. Position the GPS logger on the dashboard or windshield where it has a clear view of the sky for optimal signal reception.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dash camera will automatically begin loop recording. Video files are saved in segments (e.g., 2, 3, or 5 minutes). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings.

4.2 G-Sensor Functionality

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 during loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder on the MicroSD card.

4.3 Parking Monitor

To enable 24-hour parking monitoring, an optional hardwire kit (sold separately) is required to connect the dash camera directly to your car's battery. With the hardwire kit, the camera can continue to monitor and record events even when the vehicle is turned off.

4.4 Motion Detection

When motion detection is enabled, the dash camera will automatically turn on and record a 10-second video clip if it detects movement in front of the camera while the vehicle is parked.

4.5 Time-lapse Recording

Time-lapse recording captures still images at set intervals and stitches them together into a video, creating a fast-motion effect. This feature is suitable for capturing long periods of activity in a condensed format.

4.6 Wi-Fi and App Connection

1. Download the EACHPAI app from your smartphone's app store.
2. Enable Wi-Fi on your dash camera through its settings menu.
3. Connect your smartphone to the dash camera's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password typically displayed on the camera screen).
4. Open the EACHPAI app to view live footage, access recorded videos, and adjust settings.

4.7 GPS Data Viewing

The GPS logger records driving track, speed, and other data. This information can be viewed on a computer or smartphone using dedicated player software. A player download link is often provided by the manufacturer (e.g., http://www.sz-zxs.com/article.php?id=36).

5. Maintenance

5.1 MicroSD Card Management

Regularly format your MicroSD card (at least once a month) within the camera settings to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Replace the MicroSD card periodically, as constant read/write cycles can degrade its lifespan.

5.2 Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device. Ensure the camera is powered off before cleaning.

5.3 Temperature Considerations

The EACHPAI E100 Pro is designed to withstand high temperatures. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight in a parked car during summer) can affect battery life and overall performance. If possible, remove the dash cam or park in shaded areas during extreme heat.

6. Troubleshooting

• Camera not powering on: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the camera and the vehicle's power outlet. Check the vehicle's power outlet for functionality.
• Camera not recording: Verify that a MicroSD card is inserted and properly formatted. Check if the card is full; if so, format it or replace it. Ensure loop recording is enabled.
• Parking Monitor not working when car is off: The parking monitor feature requires a separate hardwire kit to provide continuous power from the car battery. Without this kit, the camera will only record when the car's ignition is on.
• Unresponsive buttons or screen: Try resetting the device using a paperclip in the reset hole (if available). If the issue persists, reformat the MicroSD card.
• Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the camera and your smartphone. Confirm you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network provided by the dash camera. Try restarting both the camera and your phone.
• Poor video quality: Clean the camera lens. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens. Check camera settings for resolution and WDR options.
• GPS not acquiring signal: Ensure the GPS logger is connected and placed in an area with a clear view of the sky, away from obstructions.
