4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Recording

The dash cam automatically starts recording when powered on. It uses loop recording, continuously overwriting the oldest files when the SD card is full, except for locked emergency files.

4.2 Emergency Recording (G-Sensor)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted in the settings menu.

4.3 Parking Monitoring

The D50 offers 24-hour parking monitoring with three modes:

• Motion Detection Mode: Records when motion is detected around the vehicle.
• Impact Detection Mode: Records when an impact is detected (G-sensor triggered).
• Time-Lapse Recording Mode: Records continuously at a low frame rate, saving storage space while providing full coverage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your COOAU D50 dash cam, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Power Intermittently On/Off:
  Ensure all power cables are securely connected. Check the vehicle's power outlet for proper function. If the issue persists, try a different power adapter or cable.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
  If the app struggles to connect even when Wi-Fi is enabled, try restarting both the dash cam and your smartphone. Re-establish the Wi-Fi connection. Repeated attempts may be necessary.
• Overly Sensitive G-Sensor:
  If emergency recording is frequently triggered by minor bumps or road imperfections, adjust the G-sensor sensitivity to a lower setting in the dash cam's menu.
• Unclear Footage in Low Light/Impact:
  While the dash cam features advanced night vision, extreme low-light conditions or high-speed impacts can affect image clarity. Ensure the lenses are clean and unobstructed. For critical incidents, review footage on a larger screen for better detail.
