Operating Instructions

Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start recording. The 2.45-inch screen will display the live view from the cameras.

Loop Recording

The dash cam features seamless loop recording. When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked footage will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual deletion.

G-sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in adjustable G-sensor detects sudden shakes or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

  • You can also manually lock the current video by pressing the designated button on the dash cam.

24-Hour Parking Monitor

With the parking monitor feature enabled, the dash cam will automatically power on and start recording if an impact is detected while your vehicle is parked. This provides continuous surveillance and evidence for incidents occurring when you are away from your car.

IR Night Vision

The interior camera is equipped with Infrared (IR) LEDs, ensuring clear recording of the driver and passengers even in completely dark conditions. This is crucial for ride-sharing drivers or for capturing events inside the cabin at night.

Wide Angle View

The dash cam features wide-angle lenses for all three cameras: Front 170°, Inside 150°, and Rear 150°. This extensive field of view minimizes blind spots and captures more details of the surrounding environment, providing a more comprehensive record of events.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

The WDR function enhances video quality by balancing exposure in areas of high contrast, such as tunnels or bright sunlight. This ensures that both bright and dark areas of the footage are clearly visible, maintaining continuity and clarity of video recording.

Auto LCD OFF

To prevent distraction while driving, the dash cam features an auto LCD off function. The screen will turn off after a set period, but recording will continue uninterrupted. You can adjust this setting in the menu.

Maintenance

  • SD Card Management: Regularly format your Micro SD card (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lenses and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and overall performance.
  • Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
