5. Setup

5.1. Installing the Dash Cam

1. Choose a Location: Select a spot on your windshield, preferably behind the rearview mirror, that does not obstruct your driving view. Ensure the front camera has a clear view of the road and the cabin camera has a clear view of the interior.
2. Clean the Windshield: Thoroughly clean the chosen area on the windshield to ensure the suction cup adheres firmly.
3. Attach the Suction Cup Mount: Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and flip the lever to secure it.
4. Mount the Dash Cam: Slide the dash cam onto the mount until it clicks into place. Adjust the angle of both cameras to ensure optimal recording coverage.
5. Connect Power: Plug the mini USB end of the power cable into the dash cam's USB port and the cigarette lighter adapter into your vehicle's 12V power outlet.
6. Route the Cable: Carefully route the power cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to keep it tidy and out of the way, using the provided cable ties or crowbar if necessary.

5.2. Inserting and Formatting the SD Card

The dash cam requires a Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, U3 recommended) for recording. A 32GB card is included, and the device supports up to 128GB.

1. Insert SD Card: With the dash cam powered off, gently insert the Micro SD card into the card slot until it clicks into place.
2. Format SD Card: It is highly recommended to format the SD card inside the dash cam before first use and periodically (e.g., once a month) to ensure stable recording and prevent data corruption.
• Power on the dash cam.
• Press the Menu button to enter the settings.
• Navigate to the Format option and confirm.
• The dash cam will format the card, deleting all existing data.

6. Operating the Dash Cam

6.1. Power On/Off

The dash cam is designed to automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (and the power adapter receives power). It will automatically power off shortly after the ignition is turned off.

• Manual Power On: Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.
• Manual Power Off: Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.

6.2. Recording Modes

The Abask J05 PRO records simultaneously from both the front and cabin cameras.

• Front Camera: Records in 4K resolution (3840x2160P).
• Cabin Camera: Records in 1080P resolution (1920x1080P).

6.3. Super Night Vision

The dash cam is equipped with advanced night vision technology, including an F1.8 aperture, 4 infrared (IR) lights for the cabin camera, and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for the front camera. This ensures clear and detailed recordings even in low-light conditions or complete darkness.

6.4. G-Sensor (Emergency Lock)

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

• The G-Sensor sensitivity can be adjusted in the settings menu (Low, Medium, High, Off).

6.5. Loop Recording

Loop recording allows the dash cam to continuously record by overwriting the oldest unlocked video files when the Micro SD card reaches its storage limit. This ensures that recording never stops due to a full memory card.

• Video segments can typically be set to 1, 3, or 5 minutes in the settings.

6.6. Parking Monitor (Motion Activated)

When enabled, the parking monitor feature allows the dash cam to automatically turn on and record a short video if it detects a collision or motion around your parked vehicle. This provides surveillance even when you are away from your car.

• Note: This feature requires a hardwire kit (not included) to provide continuous power to the dash cam when the vehicle is off.

6.7. WiFi & App Control

The Abask J05 PRO features built-in WiFi, allowing you to connect your smartphone to the dash cam via a dedicated app. This enables you to view live footage, change settings, download recorded videos, and share them directly from your phone.

• App Name: LuckyCam
• Download: Search for "LuckyCam" in your smartphone's app store or scan the QR codes below.
• Connection Steps:
1. Turn on the dash cam's WiFi in the settings menu.
2. On your smartphone, go to WiFi settings and connect to the dash cam's WiFi network (usually named something like "Abask_XXXX"). The default password is typically "12345678" or found in the dash cam's WiFi settings.
3. Open the LuckyCam app. You should now see the live view and be able to access controls and files.

7. Maintenance

• SD Card Formatting: Regularly format the Micro SD card (e.g., monthly) to prevent data corruption and ensure optimal recording performance. This can be done through the dash cam's settings menu.
• Cleaning Lenses and Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the camera lenses and the display screen. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
