3.4 App Installation and Wi-Fi Connection

Download the official FITCAMX app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Once installed, connect your smartphone to the dash cam's built-in Wi-Fi network to access live footage and recorded videos. For optimal performance and to avoid preview issues, it is recommended to temporarily turn off cellular data or Bluetooth on your phone when connecting to the dash cam's Wi-Fi.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Automatic Recording

The dash cam automatically powers on and begins recording when your vehicle's engine starts. It will power off automatically when the engine is turned off.

4.2 Loop Recording

The dash cam utilizes seamless loop recording. When the included 64GB memory card (or an upgraded card up to 256GB) reaches its full capacity, the oldest unlocked footage will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. You can typically adjust loop recording segment lengths (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) within the FITCAMX app settings.

4.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In the event of such an incident, the dash cam will automatically initiate emergency recording, saving and locking the current video segment to a separate folder. This prevents the footage from being overwritten by loop recording, ensuring critical evidence is preserved. Note that this model does not include a parking mode feature by default.

4.4 Video Quality and Night Vision

The dash cam records in 4K (2160P) at 30 frames per second, utilizing an f/1.6 aperture lens and a high-sensitivity CMOS sensor for detailed video capture. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology enhances night vision by automatically balancing exposure in low-light conditions, providing clear footage even at night.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal video quality, regularly clean the dash cam's lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens or casing.

5.2 Temperature Considerations

The FITCAMX dash cam is constructed from durable ABS+PC material, designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F). Ensure the device operates within this range for longevity.

5.3 Memory Card Care

Periodically format the memory card (at least once a month) through the dash cam's app settings to ensure stable performance and prevent data corruption. Use only high-quality, high-speed MicroSD cards (Class 10 or higher) for reliable recording.

6. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power source. Check the vehicle's fuse if necessary.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: If you experience difficulty connecting to the dash cam's Wi-Fi or previewing videos, try turning off your phone's cellular data and Bluetooth temporarily. The dash cam's Wi-Fi is not designed for remote access; it's for local connection to your phone.
• Video Playback Problems: Ensure your memory card is properly inserted and formatted. If issues persist, try formatting the card again or using a different compatible memory card.
• "Do I need to connect camera's WiFi every time?" No. The dash cam will automatically turn on/off with your car engine. You only need to connect to its Wi-Fi when you want to view or download footage via the app.
• "Can I view video after off the car or remotely?" No, not directly from the camera. You can only view videos that have been downloaded to your phone in advance. The camera's Wi-Fi is not for remote access, and videos are stored on the MicroSD card, not your phone, unless downloaded.
• "Can I use CarPlay/Bluetooth when driving?" Yes. Your phone cannot be connected to both CarPlay/Bluetooth and the dash cam's Wi-Fi simultaneously. However, the camera records automatically when the car starts, so you do not need to maintain a Wi-Fi connection to the camera at all times for recording to occur.

6.1 Parking Mode Upgrade

This dash cam does not include parking mode by default. To enable parking monitoring, an additional fuse box cable or On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) cable is required. These accessories are sold separately. Search for ASIN: B09PQ9KDYX for the fuse box cable.
