Operating Instructions

Automatic Recording

The SN-TW83d automatically begins recording when the vehicle's engine is started and power is supplied. Both front and rear cameras will record simultaneously.

Display and Menu Navigation

The device features a 2-inch LCD display. Use the physical buttons on the unit to navigate through the menu options. Common settings include:

• Video Resolution: Set to 1080p for optimal clarity.
• G-Sensor Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity for impact detection.
• Date and Time: Ensure correct time synchronization via GPS.
• Parking Surveillance Mode: Enable for recording when the vehicle is parked (requires optional hardwire kit for continuous power).

STARVIS Technology for Night Recording

Equipped with STARVIS technology, the SN-TW83d excels in low-light conditions. This allows for clear and vivid video recording even at night, capturing details that might be missed by conventional sensors.

Time-Lapse Recording (Optional)

For extended parking surveillance, the device supports time-lapse recording. This feature compresses long periods of recording into shorter videos, saving storage space while still capturing important events. This typically requires a continuous power supply kit.

Maintenance

SD Card Management

Regularly format the microSD card to ensure optimal performance and prevent recording errors. Over time, fragmented data can reduce card efficiency. It is recommended to format the card at least once a month.

• Access the formatting option through the device's menu.
• Back up any important footage before formatting, as this process will erase all data on the card.

Cleaning

Wipe the camera lenses and the display screen with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.

Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on:

  Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the device and the vehicle's power outlet. Check the vehicle's power outlet for functionality.

• Recording errors or "SD card error" message:

  Format the SD card through the device's menu. If the issue persists, try using a different, high-quality microSD card (Class 10 or higher).
• Poor image quality:

  Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Check settings to confirm 1080p resolution is selected.

• GPS not acquiring signal:

  Ensure the GPS antenna (if external) is properly connected and placed in a location with a clear view of the sky. Avoid metallic tints on the windshield that might block the signal.
