4. Power Connection

Connect the provided OBD II power cable to your vehicle's OBD II port. This cable provides continuous power for 24/7 surveillance and frees up your cigarette power port. The cable includes low voltage battery protection, automatically shutting off if your car battery falls below 11.6 volts to prevent draining.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (or when power is supplied via the OBD II cable). It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

2. Recording

The Orbit 951 records in 1080p Full HD for both front and rear cameras. Footage is saved to the Micro SD card. The camera utilizes loop recording, overwriting the oldest files when the card is full, unless files are protected by the G-Sensor.

3. Wi-Fi Connectivity and Mobile App

The dash cam features Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to connect it to your smartphone or tablet via a dedicated mobile application. Through the app, you can:

• View live footage from both cameras.
• Playback recorded videos.
• Download recordings directly to your device.
• Share footage.

Refer to the app's instructions for pairing and specific functionalities.

4. GPS Capability

The integrated GPS logging records your vehicle's speed and location in real-time, tracking your route as you drive. This data can be viewed alongside your video footage.

5. Speed Limit Alert

The dash cam can alert the driver if the vehicle exceeds a pre-set speed limit, promoting safer driving habits.

6. 24/7 Surveillance

With the OBD II power cable, the Orbit 951 provides continuous 24/7 recording, monitoring your vehicle even when the ignition is off. This feature is protected by the low voltage battery cut-off to safeguard your car's battery.

Maintenance

1. Micro SD Card Management

• Formatting: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's settings menu or the mobile app. Formatting will erase all data on the card.
• Replacement: If the Micro SD card shows signs of degradation or error, replace it with a high-quality Class 10 or U3 Micro SD card (up to 64GB).

2. Cleaning the Device

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lenses and the device body.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the device.
• Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
