Installation Guide
Follow these steps to properly install your Showasaki Dash Cam:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam. Ensure it is free from dust and grease for optimal adhesion.
- Attach the Dash Cam: Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the dash cam mount. Firmly press the dash cam onto the chosen spot on your windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, ensuring it does not obstruct your view.
- Insert Micro SD Card: Gently insert the provided 32GB Micro SD card into the designated slot on the dash cam until it clicks into place.
- Connect Power: Connect the USB cable to the dash cam and route the cable neatly along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to your car's USB port or cigarette lighter adapter (if using a USB adapter, not included).
- Power On and Test: Start your vehicle. The dash cam should power on automatically and begin recording. Adjust the camera angle to ensure it captures the desired view of the road.
Operating Instructions
Automatic Recording
The Showasaki Dash Cam is designed for convenience. Once connected to power and your vehicle starts, the camera will automatically power on and begin recording. When the vehicle is turned off, the camera will save the current recording and power down.
Loop Recording
The dash cam features loop recording, which means it continuously records. When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will detect the event and automatically lock the current video segment. This prevents the footage from being overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.
Night Vision
The Super Night Vision technology automatically adjusts to low-light conditions, ensuring clear video capture even during nighttime driving. No manual settings are required for this feature.
Care and Maintenance
- Keep the lens clean: Regularly wipe the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings.
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not expose the dash cam to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme cold, as this can affect its performance and lifespan.
- Secure mounting: Periodically check that the dash cam is securely mounted to prevent it from falling during driving.
- Format Micro SD card: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card every few months to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important files before formatting.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and a working power source (car's USB port or cigarette lighter adapter). Check the vehicle's power outlet. |
| Recording stops unexpectedly or records only short segments (e.g., 1 minute). | This might be due to a full Micro SD card or an issue with loop recording. Format the Micro SD card. If the issue persists, the card might be faulty and require replacement. Ensure G-Sensor sensitivity is not set too high, causing frequent emergency recordings. |
| Video footage is blurry or unclear. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens. Check if the windshield area where the camera is mounted is clean. |
| Dash cam gets hot during operation. | It is normal for dash cams to generate some heat during operation. If it becomes excessively hot or emits smoke, disconnect power immediately and contact customer support. |
| Cannot view recordings on a computer. | Ensure the Micro SD card is properly inserted into your computer's card reader. Use a compatible video player. If files are corrupted, try formatting the card in the dash cam. |
