8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DDPAI Mola E3, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Device Not Powering On:
- Ensure the car charger is properly connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet.
- Check the vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse.
- Try a different power source if available.
- Rear Camera Not Detected / No Image:
- Verify that the rear camera cable is securely connected to both the rear camera and the main unit.
- Inspect the cable for any visible damage.
- Restart the dash cam.
- Recording Stops / SD Card Error:
- Ensure the SD card is inserted correctly.
- Format the SD card through the dash cam's settings.
- Try a different, high-speed (Class 10 or U3) Micro SD card.

- Restart the device by disconnecting and reconnecting power.
- If persistent, perform a factory reset (refer to device settings, note this will erase custom settings).
- Poor Night Vision Quality:
