4. Setup
Follow these steps for proper installation of your dash cam:
- Prepare the Main Unit: Attach the main dash cam unit to the suction cup mount. Ensure the mount is securely fastened to the camera.
- Mount the Main Unit: Clean the desired area on your windshield. Remove the protective film from the suction cup and firmly press the mount onto the windshield. Twist the locking mechanism to secure it. Position the camera so it has a clear view of the road ahead and the interior.
- Insert SD Card: Locate the SD card slot on the main unit. Insert the provided 32GB SD card until it clicks into place.
- Connect Power: Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the USB-C end of the power cable to the main dash cam unit. Route the cable neatly along the windshield and dashboard using the provided cable management clips/tool to avoid obstructing your view or interfering with driving.
- Install Rear Camera: Decide on the mounting location for the rear camera (inside the rear window or outside near the license plate). The rear camera is waterproof. Use the adhesive pad or mounting screws (if applicable) to secure it.
- Connect Rear Camera: Connect the rear camera cable to the main dash cam unit. Route this cable discreetly from the main unit to the rear camera, tucking it under trim panels or along the vehicle's interior.

5. Operating
Your Kussla Dash Cam is designed for ease of use. Here's how to operate its main functions:
5.1 Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle starts and power is supplied. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off.
- Screen Display: The 2.3-inch screen can display footage from all three cameras simultaneously in a split-screen view.
- Interior Camera Rotation: The interior camera can be manually rotated 180 degrees to capture different angles within the cabin.
5.2 Advanced Features
- Loop Recording: The camera continuously records video in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the SD card is full, it automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files.
- G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden movements or impacts (like a collision). When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
- Parking Monitoring: When enabled, this feature allows the dash cam to monitor your vehicle while parked. If a vibration or impact is detected, the camera will automatically wake up and record for approximately 30 seconds. Important: It is recommended to disable motion detection/parking monitoring while driving to prevent unnecessary file locking and premature filling of the SD card.
- Super Night Vision & WDR: These technologies work together to improve video clarity and exposure in low-light conditions, ensuring clear recordings even at night.
- Audio Recording: The dash cam records audio inside the vehicle. This feature can typically be toggled on or off via the camera's settings menu.

6. Maintenance
- Regular SD Card Formatting: To ensure optimal performance and prevent recording issues, it is crucial to format the SD card regularly (e.g., once a month). This clears old, unlocked files and maintains the card's health.
- Clean Lenses: Periodically clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lenses.
- Check Connections: Ensure all cables and connections are secure to prevent power interruptions or signal loss.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not powering on. | No power from car charger; loose connection. | Check car charger connection to both the dash cam and the cigarette lighter socket. Ensure the vehicle's power outlet is active. |
| SD card full / Cannot record. | SD card needs formatting; too many locked files. | Format the SD card regularly. Disable parking monitoring/motion detection while driving to prevent unnecessary file locking. |
| Video quality is poor/blurry. | Dirty lens; protective film still on lens; extreme lighting conditions. | Clean the camera lenses. Ensure all protective films are removed. WDR and Super Night Vision features help in challenging light. |
| Camera freezes or crashes. | SD card issue; firmware issue. | Try formatting the SD card. If the issue persists, contact customer support for potential firmware updates. |
