Setup
1. Insert Memory Card
Before first use, insert a Class 10 or higher microSD card (not included) into the TF Card slot. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.
2. Mount the Dash Camera
Clean the windshield area where the camera will be mounted. Attach the magnetic bracket to the windshield using its adhesive. Ensure the camera's position does not obstruct your view. Once the bracket is secured, attach the dash camera to the magnetic bracket.
3. Connect Power
Connect the MicroUSB cable to the dash camera's MicroUSB port and the other end to the Dual USB Car Charger. Plug the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The camera will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle starts.
Operating Instructions
Basic Recording
Once powered on, the camera automatically starts recording in a continuous loop. The recording indicator (usually a red dot) will flash on the screen. Videos are recorded in FullHD 1080P resolution with a 140-degree wide-angle lens.
G-Sensor Function
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is preserved.
Parking Monitoring Function
When the parking monitoring function is enabled, the camera will automatically start recording if it detects motion or an impact while the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This feature provides surveillance for your vehicle when unattended.
Menu Navigation
Press the M button to enter the menu. Use the Up/Down buttons to navigate through options and the OK button to select. Press M again to exit the menu.
Video Playback
In playback mode (accessed via the M button), use the Up/Down buttons to select a video file and OK to play it. Press M to return to the file list.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Lens
Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Memory Card Management
It is recommended to format the microSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) within the camera's settings to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
Troubleshooting
- Camera not powering on: Check the power connection to the car charger and the vehicle's 12V outlet. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on.
- Recording stops unexpectedly: Ensure the microSD card is properly inserted and is a Class 10 or higher. Format the card if issues persist.
- Poor video quality: Clean the camera lens. Check menu settings to ensure 1080P resolution is selected.
- G-Sensor not triggering: Adjust the G-sensor sensitivity in the camera's settings.
- Parking Monitor not working: Ensure the parking monitoring function is enabled in the settings.
