3. Setup Guide

3.1 Installing the Dash Cam

1. Choose a Location: Select a suitable location on your windshield, preferably behind the rearview mirror, that does not obstruct your view. Ensure the front camera has a clear view of the road and the interior camera has a clear view of the cabin.
2. Clean the Windshield: Clean the chosen area on the windshield thoroughly to ensure strong adhesion of the suction cup mount.
3. Attach the Suction Cup Mount: Press the suction cup firmly against the cleaned windshield and flip the lever to secure it.
4. Attach the Dash Cam: Slide the dash cam onto the mount until it clicks into place.
5. Adjust Camera Angle: Adjust the angle of both the front and interior cameras to ensure optimal recording coverage. The dash cam allows for 360° rotation for the main unit and 60° for the interior camera.

3.2 Powering the Dash Cam

1. Connect Car Charger: Insert the small end of the car charger cable into the dash cam's power port.
2. Plug into Car Outlet: Plug the larger end of the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
3. Route the Cable: Use the provided wire trim tool and cable hiding clips to neatly route the power cable along the edge of your windshield and dashboard, keeping it out of the way and ensuring a clean installation.

3.3 Initial Setup and SD Card Formatting

1. Power On: The dash cam will automatically power on when your vehicle starts.
2. Format SD Card: It is crucial to format the included 32GB SD card before first use and periodically thereafter to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
   • Navigate to the "Settings" menu on the dash cam's screen.
   • Find the "Format" option and confirm to format the SD card.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation

• Automatic Recording: The dash cam automatically starts recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on and stops when the ignition is turned off.
• Manual Recording: Press the "OK" button to manually start or stop recording if needed.
• Screen On/Off: The 1.5-inch IPS screen can be set to turn off automatically after a set period (Screen Saver function) to avoid distraction while driving. Recording continues in the background.

4.2 Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.3 G-Sensor (Accident Lock)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an impact is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the SD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident footage is preserved.

4.4 Parking Monitor

When enabled, the Parking Monitor feature allows the dash cam to automatically turn on and record a short video clip if an impact or vibration is detected while your vehicle is parked. This provides surveillance even when you're away from your car.

4.5 Infrared Night Vision

The interior camera is equipped with 4 infrared (IR) LED lights, enabling clear video recording inside the cabin even in low-light or completely dark conditions. This is particularly useful for taxi drivers or ride-share services.

• SD Card Maintenance: Regularly format the SD card (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth operation. Back up important files before formatting.
• Cleaning the Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the camera lenses to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
