- Firmly press the device with the bracket onto the cleaned rear window surface. Hold for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
- Adjust the lens angle to capture the desired field of view.
4.3 Connecting Power
- Connect the power cable to the power input port on the SN-R11 unit.
- Route the power cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to avoid interference with driving.
- Plug the other end of the power cable into your vehicle's 12V accessory power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
4.4 Inserting the MicroSD Card

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
- The SN-R11 will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on.
- The device will automatically power off when the ignition is turned off.
5.2 Automatic Recording
Upon powering on, the device automatically starts continuous loop recording. Video files are saved in segments (e.g., 1-minute clips). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest files will be overwritten by new recordings.
5.3 Event Recording (G-Sensor)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When an event is detected, the current recording segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the MicroSD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
5.4 Parking Surveillance (Optional)
If your vehicle's power supply supports continuous power or if an optional hardwire kit is installed, the SN-R11 may offer parking surveillance mode. In this mode, the device can record events (e.g., impacts) while the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. Refer to the Yupiteru website or contact support for details on compatible accessories for parking surveillance.
