2. Connect the other end of the power cable to the provided power adapter.
3. Plug the power adapter into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).

4.3 SD Card Insertion

The device supports up to a 128GB SD card for video recording. An SD card is required for recording functionality.

2. Insert the SD card into the slot with the contacts facing the correct direction until it clicks into place.
3. To remove, gently push the SD card until it pops out.

5. Operation

5.1 Powering On/Off

The dashcam is designed for plug-and-play operation. Once connected to the vehicle's power supply and the engine is started, the dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording. When the engine is turned off, the dashcam will automatically save the current recording and power off.

5.2 Recording Modes

• Continuous Recording: The dashcam continuously records video in a loop. When the SD card is full, the oldest files will be overwritten by new recordings.
• Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or strong vibrations (e.g., during a collision). When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by continuous recording.

5.3 Wi-Fi Connectivity

The dashcam features a built-in Wi-Fi module, allowing you to connect it to your smartphone via a dedicated app. This enables live view, video playback, downloading recordings, and adjusting settings.

1. Download the official Hikvision dashcam app from your smartphone's app store (iOS/Android).
2. Turn on the dashcam.
3. On your smartphone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the dashcam's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password can usually be found on the device or in the app's initial setup).
4. Open the app to manage your dashcam.

5.4 Using the Micro Remote

The micro remote can be used to manually trigger an emergency recording or take a snapshot, depending on its configuration within the app. Refer to the app's instructions for specific remote functions.

6. Settings and App Usage

The Hikvision dashcam app provides a user-friendly interface to customize your dashcam's settings:

• Video Resolution: Adjust recording quality (e.g., 1080p, 720p).
• Loop Recording Duration: Set the length of video segments (e.g., 1, 3, 5 minutes).

7. Maintenance

• SD Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) using the dashcam's app to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important files before formatting.
