4. Route all cables neatly and securely, avoiding moving parts or heat sources. Use cable ties to prevent tangling.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off and Automatic Recording

The dash cam is designed for engine linkage. When the ACC power is connected, the device will automatically power on and begin recording when your motorcycle engine starts. It will automatically power off and save recordings when the engine is turned off.

6.3 Parking Monitoring

When the motorcycle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam can enter parking monitoring mode.

The dash cam utilizes HDR (High Dynamic Range) and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology along with the Sony IMX307 STARVIS sensor to ensure clear video quality in challenging lighting conditions, such as bright daylight, tunnels, or low-light environments. This minimizes overexposed bright areas and underexposed dark areas.
