Setup
1. Insert the Micro SD Card

2. Mount the Dashcam
Clean the desired area on your windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, to ensure a strong adhesive bond. Attach the adhesive mount to the dashcam, then firmly press the mount onto the cleaned windshield surface. Ensure the camera lens has a clear view of the road ahead and does not obstruct your driving visibility.

3. Connect Power
Connect the provided car charger to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket and plug the other end into the dashcam's power input. Route the cable neatly along the windshield and dashboard edges to avoid interference with driving controls. The dashcam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts.
Operating Instructions
Automatic Recording
Once powered on, the dashcam will automatically begin recording. The recording will stop when the vehicle is turned off and power is disconnected.
Loop Recording
The dashcam records video in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video segments will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. Videos locked by the G-sensor or manual locking will not be overwritten.
G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will trigger emergency recording. This footage is automatically locked and saved to a separate folder on the SD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
24-Hour Parking Monitoring
To activate 24-hour parking monitoring, the dashcam requires a continuous power supply (e.g., via a hardwire kit, sold separately). When enabled, the dashcam will detect impacts or motion around your parked vehicle and automatically record, providing surveillance even when you're away.
WiFi App Connection
- Download the designated smartphone application (e.g., "Dvr-N3" as suggested in customer reviews, or refer to the packaging for the correct app name).
- Turn on the dashcam's WiFi function (refer to the device's small screen or buttons for activation).
- On your smartphone, connect to the dashcam's WiFi network. The network name (SSID) and password will be displayed on the dashcam screen or in the quick start guide.
- Open the app to view live footage, browse recorded videos, download files to your phone, and adjust settings.
Maintenance
SD Card Management
Regularly format the Micro SD card (at least once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dashcam's settings menu via the app or device interface. Always power off the dashcam before removing the SD card.
Lens Cleaning
Keep the dashcam lens clean from dust, fingerprints, and smudges. Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals.
