3.3 Inserting the Micro SD Card

Insert a compatible Micro SD card (up to 256GB, Class 10 or higher recommended) into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.

3.4 Power Connection

Connect the car charger to your vehicle's 12V power outlet and then connect the Mini USB cable to the dash cam. The device will typically power on and begin recording automatically when the vehicle starts.

4. Operation

4.1 Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start recording. The front and interior cameras will record simultaneously. Video files are saved to the Micro SD card.

4.2 Loop Recording

The dash cam features loop recording, which means it continuously records video in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be overwritten to make space for new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.3 G-Sensor and Emergency Lock

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden movements or impacts, such as those from a collision. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the Micro SD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files serve as important evidence.

4.4 Parking Monitor

With the parking monitor feature enabled, the dash cam will automatically begin recording if it detects vibration or impact while your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This provides surveillance for potential incidents when you are away from your vehicle.

4.5 IR Night Vision

The BOHISEN J08 is equipped with infrared (IR) lights to enhance night vision capabilities, particularly for the interior cabin camera. This allows for clear recording even in complete darkness.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lenses and screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
• Memory Card: Format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. Back up important files before formatting.
