4. Setup and Installation

  1. Prepare the Mounting Surface: Clean the chosen area on your front windshield thoroughly to ensure strong adhesion. The recommended installation position is typically behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing your view.
  2. Attach the Camera: Remove the protective film from the red adhesive strips on the camera's mounting bracket. Firmly press the camera onto the cleaned windshield surface and hold for a few seconds to ensure secure attachment.
  3. Connect to Android Navigation System: Locate a compatible USB port on your Android navigation unit. Connect the provided USB data cable from the DVR camera to the USB port on your Android navigation system.
  4. Install the Application: The DVR requires a dedicated application to function with your Android navigation system. This application (e.g., USB 4th generation, APK, ADAS, cloud dog) is typically provided with the device or can be downloaded. Follow the on-screen prompts on your Android navigation system to install the necessary APP.
  5. Insert Memory Card: Ensure a TF (MicroSD) card (up to 32GB) is inserted into the designated slot on the DVR camera. This card will store your video recordings.
  6. Cable Management: Route the USB cable neatly along the edge of the windshield or dashboard to avoid interference with driving and maintain a tidy interior.

Note: While installation is designed to be easy, professional installation is recommended for optimal cable routing and system integration.

5. Operating Instructions

  1. Power On/Off: The DVR powers on automatically when your Android navigation system receives power (e.g., when the vehicle starts) and powers off when the navigation system shuts down.
  2. Accessing the DVR Application: Once connected and the APP is installed, open the DVR application on your Android navigation system's display.
  3. Live View: The application will typically display a real-time live view from the camera. You can interact with this view using the full-screen touch capabilities of your Android navigation system.
  4. Recording: The DVR is designed to automatically begin loop recording when powered on. Older files will be overwritten when the memory card is full, unless they are locked.
  5. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid deceleration/acceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten during loop recording. These locked files are saved in a separate folder.
  6. Playback: Within the DVR application, navigate to the playback section to review recorded videos. You can browse by date and time, and view both regular and locked emergency recordings.
  7. Settings: Access the settings menu within the DVR application to configure various parameters such as video resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, and language settings.
  8. ADAS Features (if supported by APP): If your installed APP supports ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems), you may find features like Lane Departure Warning (LDW) or Forward Collision Warning (FCW). Refer to your APP's specific instructions for calibration and usage.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Lens: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
  • Memory Card Management:
    • Format the TF card periodically (e.g., once a month) through the DVR application settings to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
    • Replace the memory card if you experience frequent recording errors or data loss, as memory cards have a limited lifespan, especially with continuous recording.
  • Firmware Updates: Check for any available firmware updates for the DVR or the associated Android application. Updates can improve performance, add features, or fix bugs.
  • Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the DVR to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods when the vehicle is parked, as this can affect its lifespan.

7. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible Cause / Solution
DVR not powering on.
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the DVR and the Android navigation system.
  • Verify that the Android navigation system is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check the USB port on the navigation system for power output.
No video display on Android screen.
  • Confirm the DVR application is correctly installed and launched on your Android navigation system.
  • Check the USB connection for looseness or damage.
  • Restart the Android navigation system and the DVR application.
Recordings are not saving or are corrupted.
  • Ensure a TF (MicroSD) card is properly inserted.
  • The memory card may be full; format it through the DVR application (this will erase all data).
  • The memory card may be faulty or too slow. Try a new, high-speed TF card (Class 10 or higher recommended).
  • Check if the loop recording setting is enabled.
G-sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
  • Adjust the G-sensor sensitivity setting within the DVR application. Lower sensitivity for fewer false triggers, higher for more detection.
Video quality is poor or blurry.
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens.
  • Check video resolution settings in the DVR application; ensure it's set to 1080P.
  • Verify the windshield area where the camera is mounted is clean.
