Setup

1. Inserting the Micro SD Card

Before first use, insert a high-speed (Class 10 or higher) Micro SD card (up to 32GB recommended, not included) into the designated slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted correctly to avoid damage. To remove, gently push the card in until it springs out.

2. Mounting the Dash Cam

The DC44 offers two mounting options:

• Suction Cup Mount: Attach the suction cup mount to the dash cam. Clean the windshield surface thoroughly. Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and flip the lever to secure it. Adjust the camera angle as desired.
• Adhesive-Backed Mount (if included): For a more compact and secure installation, use the adhesive mount. Clean the desired surface, peel off the protective film, and firmly press the mount into place. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully bond before attaching the camera.

Position the dash cam where it has a clear view of the road ahead and does not obstruct your driving visibility or interfere with safety features like airbags.

3. Power Connection

Connect the provided car charger to the dash cam's USB power port and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The camera will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on.

Operating the Dash Cam

1. Power On/Off

• Automatic: The dash cam powers on and starts recording automatically when connected to power and the vehicle ignition is on. It powers off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
• Manual: Press and hold the Power button to manually turn the device on or off.

2. Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked footage will be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

3. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the SD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This feature is crucial for preserving accident footage.

4. Parking Mode (Parking Monitor)

When Parking Mode is enabled, the dash cam will automatically wake up and begin recording for 30 seconds if it detects any vibration or motion while your vehicle is parked. This provides surveillance even when you're away from your car. For long-term parking monitoring, a hardwire kit (sold separately) is recommended to provide continuous power.

5. Night Vision

The DC44 features advanced night vision capabilities, utilizing a STARVIS sensor and intelligent exposure adjustment to capture clear video footage even in low-light or no-light conditions. This ensures visibility of details like license plates at night.
