Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The device typically powers on automatically with the car ignition. To manually power on/off, press and hold the Power button.
- Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start loop recording. A red dot or similar indicator on the screen confirms recording is active.
- Menu Navigation: Use the 'Menu' button to access settings. Use the Up/Down buttons to navigate and 'OK' to select.
Video Recording
The dash cam records video in Full HD (1080p) resolution. Recordings are saved in segments to the MicroSD card. When the card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten (loop recording).
- Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In case of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current recording segment, preventing it from being overwritten.
- Manual Lock: During recording, press a designated button (refer to device specific button layout) to manually lock the current video file.
Night Vision
The NAVITEL AR250NV features night vision technology to enhance video clarity in low-light conditions. This feature activates automatically or can be configured in the settings menu.
Parking Mode
Parking mode provides surveillance when your vehicle is parked. If the dash cam detects motion or impact while parked, it will automatically start recording. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, not included) or the internal battery to be sufficiently charged.
- To enable/disable Parking Mode, navigate to the settings menu.
- Ensure the dash cam has a reliable power source for extended parking surveillance.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- MicroSD Card: Format the MicroSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) through the dash cam's menu to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up important files before formatting.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in a parked car can damage the device.
- Firmware Updates: Check the official Navitel website periodically for firmware updates. Updating the firmware can improve performance and add new features.
