4. Setup

4.1. Inserting the Micro SD Card

Before using the dash cam, insert a Class 10 or higher Micro SD card (up to 256GB, not included) into the designated slot. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.

4.2. Mounting the Dash Cam

Choose between the suction mount for easy removal or the adhesive mount for a more permanent fixture. Clean the windshield area thoroughly before attaching the mount. Securely attach the dash cam to the chosen mount.

4.3. Power Connection

Connect the provided car charger to the dash cam's USB-C port and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet. The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle starts.

4.4. App Installation and Wi-Fi Connection

Download the Vlokda companion app from your smartphone's app store (Android/iOS). Turn on the dash cam's Wi-Fi (refer to the dash cam's menu for Wi-Fi settings). Connect your smartphone to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network. The app allows for live viewing, settings adjustment, and video file download.

4.5. Formatting the Micro SD Card

It is recommended to format the Micro SD card within the dash cam before first use and periodically thereafter to ensure stable recording and prevent data corruption. This can typically be done through the dash cam's menu or the companion app.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start recording. A red indicator light or on-screen icon typically confirms recording is active. To stop recording, press the 'OK' button. Press it again to resume.

5.2. Loop Recording

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

5.3. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate folder.

5.4. 24-Hour Parking Mode

This feature provides continuous surveillance even when your vehicle is parked. It can be activated via collision detection, motion detection, or time-lapse recording. A hardwire kit (sold separately) is typically required for continuous power in parking mode.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning cloth or a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens and screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• SD Card Management: Regularly format your Micro SD card (at least once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent recording errors. Back up important files before formatting.

7. Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam not turning on: Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the vehicle's 12V outlet is functioning. Check the car charger's fuse.
• Recording stops unexpectedly: Format the Micro SD card. Ensure the card is Class 10 or higher and not full of locked files.
• Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the dash cam and your smartphone. Try restarting both devices. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone if it interferes.
• Video quality is poor: Ensure the lens is clean. Check the video resolution settings in the dash cam menu or app.
• Dash Cam feels hot: It is normal for the dash cam to generate some heat during operation, especially in direct sunlight. If it becomes excessively hot or malfunctions, discontinue use and contact support.
