Figure 3.1: Front Dash Cam Unit and Rear Camera.
The main unit features a front-facing camera lens, a 4.0-inch display on the back, control buttons (Mode, Up, OK/IO, Down, Menu), and various ports for power, rear camera connection, and memory card. The rear camera is a compact unit designed for external or internal mounting.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1. Inserting the MicroSD Card
Before installation, insert a high-speed (Class 10 or higher) MicroSD card (up to 32GB recommended) into the card slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is formatted within the dash cam settings for optimal performance.
4.2. Mounting the Front Dash Cam
- Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dash cam.
- Attach the suction cup mount to the dash cam unit.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and flip the lever to secure it. Position the camera to ensure a clear view of the road ahead without obstructing your driving view.
- Connect the car charger to the dash cam's power input and plug the other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Route the cable neatly along the windshield edge and dashboard.
4.3. Installing the Rear Camera
The rear camera can be installed inside the rear window or externally near the license plate (if waterproof). Route the rear camera cable from the main unit to the rear of the vehicle. Connect the rear camera to the main unit's dedicated port.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Power On/Off
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to power and your vehicle starts. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off (if connected to a switched power source).
5.2. Recording Modes
- Normal Recording: Continuous recording while driving.
- Loop Recording: Videos are recorded in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked file is overwritten.
- G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): In case of a sudden impact or collision, the G-sensor will automatically detect it and lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
- Parking Monitoring: When enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects a collision or vibration while the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, not included).
- Motion Detection: When enabled, the dash cam will start recording automatically if it detects movement in its field of view while stationary.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | Check the car charger connection and ensure the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is functioning. Try a different power source if available. |
| Recording stops automatically. | Ensure the MicroSD card is Class 10 or higher. Format the card. If the issue persists, the card may be faulty and needs replacement. |
| Video footage is blurry or unclear. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens. Check resolution settings. |
| "Card Full" error message. | Enable loop recording. Format the MicroSD card. Too many locked files (due to G-sensor activation) can also fill the card; delete unnecessary locked files. |
| Rear camera not displaying. | Check the connection of the rear camera cable to the main unit. Ensure the cable is not damaged. |
