3. Powering the Dash Cam

• Connect the 11.5ft power supply cable to the dash cam.
• Plug the car charger end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
• Route the power cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to keep it tidy and out of the way.

4. Hardwire Kit Installation (Optional)

For continuous power and parking monitoring features, a hardwire kit (sold separately, ASIN: B09X1L1GMX) is recommended. The installation process involves connecting three wires to your vehicle's fuse box.

Hardwire Kit Connection Steps:

1. Locate the Fuse Box: The fuse box location varies by vehicle. For BMWs, it's typically in the trunk. Consult your vehicle's manual for the exact location.
2. Route the Hardwire Kit Cable:
   • Reserve a section of wire near the dash cam.
   • Use a crowbar tool to hide the remaining wire along the gap of the front windshield.
   • Continue routing the cable through the A-pillar.
   • Hide the cable along the gap between the car body and the ceiling on the passenger side.
   • Route the cable between the rear seat and the ceiling.
   • Remove the door rubber strips, plastic housing, and interior trunk trim to thread the hardwire kit to the trunk.
3. Connect the Wires to the Fuse Box: The hardwire kit includes three wires: red, yellow, and black.
   • Red Wire (ACC): Connect to an ACC (Accessory) terminal in the fuse box. This terminal receives power only when the car's ignition is on. Examples of ACC terminals include DOME, RADIO, TAIL, EFI, TEL, ECU-IG, ECU-B.
   • Yellow Wire (B+): Connect to a B+ (Battery Positive) terminal. This terminal provides constant power, even when the car is off. Examples of B+ terminals include POWER, CB DOOR.
   • Black Wire (Ground): Connect to a metal part of the car's chassis for grounding.

   Note: Some car models have a delayed power-off feature for the ACC terminal. Wait until power is completely cut off before testing. Refer to your fuse box diagram for specific current information for each terminal.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

• The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to a power source and the vehicle's ignition is turned on.
• It will automatically power off when the vehicle's ignition is turned off (unless hardwired for parking monitoring).

2. Video Recording

The i05 dash cam records simultaneously from both front and rear cameras, providing comprehensive coverage.

• Front Camera: Records in 4K UHD (2160p) with a 170° wide-angle field of view.
• Rear Camera: Records in 1080p with a 150° wide-angle field of view.
• Loop Recording: The camera continuously records, overwriting the oldest unlocked footage when the memory card is full.

Figure 4: The WOLFBOX i05 offers dual-channel recording with a 4K front camera (170° FOV) and a 1080P rear camera (150° FOV).

3. Night Vision and Image Enhancement

Advanced WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technologies, combined with a large F1.5 aperture, ensure clear video capture in low-light conditions and challenging lighting environments.

4. Built-in WiFi and GPS

The dash cam features built-in Wi-Fi and GPS for convenient access to recordings and tracking capabilities.

• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Use the dedicated WOLFBOX software (available for iOS and Android) to connect to the dash cam via Wi-Fi. This allows you to view live footage, retrieve recorded videos, and adjust settings directly from your smartphone.
• GPS Tracking: The GPS feature records your driving route, speed, and other relevant data, which can be reviewed later via the app.

5. Parking Monitoring

When connected to a hardwire kit (ASIN: B09X1L1GMX), the i05 dash cam offers two parking monitoring modes:

• Collision Sense Mode (G-sensor): Records footage automatically when an impact is detected while parked.
• Time-Lapse Mode: Continuously records at 1 frame per second (1FPS) for extended coverage, allowing hours of surveillance video to be played back in minutes.

Figure 7: The dash cam supports two parking modes for 24-hour surveillance: Time Lapse Mode for continuous recording and G-sensor Mode for impact-triggered recording.

Maintenance

• Memory Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the included 32GB SD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. If using a larger capacity card, the frequency may be reduced.
• Lens Cleaning: Regularly clean the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality.
• Firmware Updates: Check the WOLFBOX official website or app for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
