3. Setup

3.1 Physical Installation

For optimal recording, install the dash cam on your vehicle's windshield, ideally behind the rearview mirror to ensure a clear view of the road without obstructing your driving vision. Ensure the lens is clean and free from obstructions.

3.2 App Installation and Wi-Fi Connection

The DDPAI app is essential for managing your dash cam, viewing footage, and adjusting settings. Follow these steps to install the app and connect to your device:

1. Download the DDPAI App: Search for "DDPAI" in your smartphone's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) and install it.
2. Ensure necessary permissions are granted for the app, including location and local network access.
3. Open the DDPAI App and select your device type (e.g., Screen-less Dash Cam).
4. Turn on your phone's Wi-Fi and search for the dash cam's hotspot (usually named DDPAI_XXXX).
5. Connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network. The default password is 1234567890.

3.3 Hardwire Kit Installation (Optional)

For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, a hardwire kit is required. This kit connects the dash cam directly to your car's fuse box, providing constant power even when the vehicle is turned off. Ensure the car is stalled before beginning installation.

Key steps for hardwire kit installation:

1. Locate your car's fuse box (typically under the dashboard or in the engine bay).
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Identify the ACC (Accessory) and VCC (Constant Power) fuse positions using a multimeter. ACC provides power only when the car is on, while VCC provides constant power.
4. Select the correct fuse tap size for your car's original fuses.
5. Insert the original car fuse into the appropriate slot on the fuse tap, and the new DDPAI fuse into the other slot.
6. Connect the red wire of the hardwire kit to the ACC fuse slot and the yellow wire to the VCC fuse slot.
7. Connect the black ground wire to a metal screw on the car's chassis.
8. Route the hardwire cable neatly along the car's interior edges using a wire trim tool to conceal it.
9. Connect the Type-C cable end to the dash cam.

4. Operating the Dash Cam

4.1 Automatic Recording

Once powered on, the DDPAI Mola N3 dash cam automatically begins recording. It features loop recording, which means it continuously records and overwrites the oldest footage when the memory card is full. Important footage can be protected from being overwritten.

4.2 G-Sensor and Emergency Recording

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden movements or collisions. In the event of an impact, the dash cam automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency videos are stored in a separate folder.

4.3 App Features: Live Preview, Playback, and Download

The DDPAI app allows you to interact with your dash cam in real-time and manage recorded footage:

• Live Preview: View a real-time feed from your dash cam on your smartphone. This is useful for adjusting the camera angle during installation.
• Playback: Access recorded videos directly from the dash cam's memory card. You can scroll through the timeline to find specific moments. G-Sensor triggered events are highlighted on the timeline.
• Download: Select and download video clips to your smartphone's local album. This allows for easy sharing or backup without removing the SD card.
• SR Virtual Vision: For GPS-enabled models, the app can overlay driving data (speed, distance) onto your video footage, creating a more immersive viewing experience.

4.4 App Settings

You can customize various dash cam settings through the DDPAI app:

• Recording Resolution: Adjust the video resolution (e.g., 1600P, 2K). Higher resolutions offer better detail but consume more memory and take longer to download.
• G-Sensor Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity of the G-Sensor. If the camera is triggering emergency recordings too often or not enough, adjust this setting.
• Parking Monitoring: If using a hardwire kit, configure parking monitoring modes (e.g., time-lapse, collision detection, motion detection).
• Measurement Unit: Change speed display between miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
• Firmware Updates: Check for and install the latest firmware updates for improved performance and new features.

5. Maintenance

5.1 SD Card Management

Regularly format the memory card (at least once a month) through the DDPAI app to ensure stable recording performance and prevent data corruption. Use a high-quality Class 10 or U3 microSD card from a reputable brand.

5.2 Cleaning

Wipe the dash cam lens periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens or casing.

5.3 Firmware Updates

Check for firmware updates regularly via the DDPAI app. Updates often include bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features. Follow the app's instructions carefully during the update process.
