3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Recording
The device automatically begins continuous recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. Video is recorded in 30-second or 3-minute 20-second segments, overwriting the oldest files when the microSD card is full.
3.2 Orbis Alert Function
The WDT024Rd includes a built-in Orbis (speed camera) alert function. It uses pre-recorded GPS data to notify the driver via visual display and voice announcements approximately 1km or 500m before an Orbis location. This function is based on internal data and does not rely on radio wave reception. Please note that updated Orbis data is not planned for sale.
This image demonstrates the Orbis alert display, showing a speed limit of 100 km/h and a target distance of 1000m to a loop coil. Various alert types are shown for different Orbis systems.
3.3 Night Vision (SUPER NIGHT)
Both front and rear cameras are equipped with HDR and SUPER NIGHT vision, utilizing a SONY STARVIS sensor to record clear and bright images even in low-light conditions. This feature helps to suppress blackouts in dark areas and whiteouts from bright lights, ensuring important details are captured.
This image compares night recording quality between a STARVIS-equipped model (left) and a non-STARVIS model (right), highlighting the superior clarity of the STARVIS model in dark environments.
3.4 Event Recording
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration, automatically triggering event recording. You can also manually initiate event recording with a one-touch button. Event files are saved separately to prevent overwriting.
3.5 Parking Surveillance (Optional)
With an optional accessory, the WDT024Rd supports parking surveillance. Available modes include time-lapse recording and motion detection. This feature allows the device to record incidents while the vehicle is parked, providing evidence for hit-and-runs or vandalism.

3.6 Video Playback
Recorded videos can be played back directly on the unit's 2.0-inch full-color TFT LCD screen. For more detailed viewing and analysis, you can use the free dedicated PC viewer software for Windows or standard Windows Media Player.
4. Maintenance
4.1 SD Card Management
The WDT024Rd uses a high-durability MLC-type 32GB microSD card (included), supporting up to 128GB (Class 10 or higher). Yupiteru's unique file system minimizes errors due to fragmentation, reducing the need for frequent manual formatting. The device also includes an SD card check function to notify you of any issues.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Playback Issues on PC
Some users have reported issues with video playback on PC, such as distorted images or missing audio, especially with the dedicated PC viewer software. If you encounter such problems, try playing the video at the lowest speed setting or using a different media player. Ensure your PC's drivers are up to date.
5.2 Rear Camera Angle Adjustment
If the rear camera's angle is not optimal, especially in vehicles with sloped rear windows, consider using an aftermarket mounting base that allows for angle adjustment. The included rear camera mount is fixed and may not suit all vehicle types.
5.3 G-Sensor Sensitivity
If the G-sensor is too sensitive, triggering event recordings unnecessarily (e.g., over bumps), adjust its sensitivity settings through the device menu. Refer to the digital user manual for detailed steps.
