3.2 Front Camera Installation
Mount the front dash cam on your car's windshield, ideally behind the rearview mirror, to ensure it does not obstruct your view. Use the provided adhesive mount or suction cup mount. Connect the car charger cable to the dash cam and route the cable along the windshield edge and down to the car's cigarette lighter socket.
3.3 Rear Camera Installation
Install the rear camera on the rear windshield of your vehicle. Connect the rear camera to the main dash cam unit using the provided 19.6ft extension cable. Route this cable discreetly along the vehicle's interior trim to the front unit. Ensure the rear camera's angle provides a clear view of the road behind. Note that the rear camera mount may require adjustment or an alternative mounting method for optimal angle, as some users have reported the default angle pointing downwards.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power On/Off
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to your car's power supply and the engine starts. It will power off automatically when the engine is turned off.
4.2 Recording Modes and Features
- Loop Recording: The camera continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings.
- G-Sensor (Accident Lock): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden shakes or collisions. In the event of an impact, the current video footage will be automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten, serving as crucial evidence.
- Parking Monitor: This feature allows the dash cam to record automatically when a collision or human movement is detected while your car is parked. This function is off by default and needs to be manually enabled in the settings. For 24-hour continuous parking monitoring, a separate hardwire kit (not included) is required.

4.3 WiFi Connectivity and App Control

- View live footage from both front and rear cameras.
- Play back recorded videos.
- Download videos and photos directly to your phone.
- Manage dash cam settings.
Note: You may need to manually connect to the dash cam's WiFi network via your phone's settings each time you wish to use the app.

4.4 GPS Functionality

4.5 Super Night Vision
The Lehwey Dash Cam features F1.4 (front) and F1.8 (rear) aperture lenses with 6 layers of glass, combined with WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology. This ensures clear and bright recordings even in low-light conditions, such as at night or in tunnels, providing enhanced visibility compared to standard dash cameras.

4.6 Screen Protection and Fatigue Driving Reminder
- Screen Protection: You can set the dash cam screen to turn off automatically after a set period (default 1 minute) to prevent driver distraction. The camera will continue recording in the background. Press any button to wake up the screen.
- Fatigue Driving Reminder: This feature can be set to remind you to take a break after 1, 2, or 4 hours of continuous driving. This function is off by default and can be enabled in the settings.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Micro SD Card Management
It is recommended to format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) within the dash cam's settings to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This will erase all data on the card, so back up any important footage before formatting.
5.2 Cleaning the Device
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Dash cam does not automatically connect to phone WiFi. | Ensure WiFi is enabled on the dash cam. Manually connect to the dash cam's WiFi network from your phone's WiFi settings each time you wish to use the app. |
| Rear camera angle points downwards. | The rear camera mount may require adjustment. Consider using an alternative side of the camera body with double-sided tape directly on the glass for an improved angle if the bracket does not provide sufficient adjustment. The software does not support flipping the image if the camera is mounted upside down. |
| GPS not working or inaccurate. | Ensure the external GPS module is securely connected to the dash cam. The GPS functionality relies on this module and the included power cable. If using a hardwire adapter, ensure it supports the GPS module's power requirements. |
| Time/date settings reset frequently. | Ensure the dash cam is receiving consistent power. Check the car charger connection. If the internal battery is low or faulty, it may not retain settings. |
| Recordings are randomly saved between "Movie" and "Parking" folders. | This behavior may indicate a setting conflict or a sensitivity issue with the G-sensor or parking monitor. Review and adjust the sensitivity settings for both features in the dash cam menu. Ensure the parking monitor is only enabled when intended. |
| Dash cam not holding a charge. | The dash cam is primarily powered by the car's electrical system. The internal battery is typically for emergency power-off or short parking monitoring. Ensure the car charger is functioning correctly and providing continuous power. |
