• Loop Recording & G-Sensor

  Loop recording automatically overwrites the oldest footage when the SD card is full, ensuring continuous recording. The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden movements or impacts, automatically locking and saving the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten, providing crucial evidence in case of an accident.

• Parking Monitor & Motion Detection

  When activated, the 24-hour parking monitor mode uses motion detection to automatically record when movement is detected around your parked vehicle. This feature helps protect your car from potential incidents while unattended.

  Important: Do not turn on parking monitoring and motion detection while driving.

• Built-in Super Capacitor

  The dash camera utilizes a built-in super capacitor, offering enhanced heat resistance and a longer service life compared to traditional batteries. This component is primarily for saving video files after the external power supply is cut off (e.g., when the car is turned off).

Setup Guide

1. Prepare the Micro SD Card

Insert the provided 32GB Class 10 Micro SD card into the dash camera's TF card slot. The included card is pre-formatted and ready for use. If using a different card, ensure it is Class 10 or above (16GB or 32GB recommended) and format it within the camera's menu before first use.

2. Install the Front Dash Camera

Attach the suction mount to the dash camera unit. Clean your windshield thoroughly before attaching the suction cup for optimal adhesion. Mount the camera on your windshield, ideally below the rearview mirror, ensuring it does not obstruct your view. Adjust the camera angle to capture the desired field of view.

4. Install the Rear Camera (Optional)

Connect the rear camera cable to the dedicated port on the main dash camera unit. For optimal rear view and parking assistance, it is recommended to install the rear camera near your license plate. The package includes screws to help you fix it. Ensure the cable is routed safely and does not interfere with vehicle operation.
