3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Operation
Once powered on, the Rhorawill D70-4CH dashcam automatically begins recording. The 3.0-inch TFT display provides a live view from the cameras. You can navigate the menu and control functions using the buttons on the device.
- Automatic Recording: The dashcam starts recording automatically when the vehicle is started.
- Screen On/Off: Use the designated button to turn the display screen on or off without stopping recording.
- Video Setup/Playback: Access the menu to adjust settings or review recorded videos.
- Lock Current Video: Press the lock button to protect the currently recording video from being overwritten.
- Recording Function On/Off: Manually start or stop recording if needed.
3.2 Recording Features
- Loop Recording: The dashcam continuously records, automatically overwriting the oldest unlocked files when the Micro SD card reaches its maximum storage capacity. Locked videos are protected from being overwritten.
- Emergency Lock (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor automatically detects the event and locks the current video segment, saving it to a separate 'events' folder to prevent it from being overwritten.
3.3 Parking Monitoring
For continuous surveillance when your vehicle is parked, the D70-4CH offers a 24-hour parking monitoring mode. This feature requires a dedicated ACC hardwire kit (sold separately) to ensure constant power without draining your car's battery.
- 24H Parking Mode: When a collision is detected while parked, all four cameras will automatically activate and record the event.
- Time-Lapse Recording: In parking mode, the dashcam can record video at 1 frame per second, compressing long periods into short, reviewable clips. This saves memory card space and allows for faster playback of parking events.
3.4 Advanced Features
- Superior Night Vision & WDR: The dashcam's F1.8 aperture lenses and 4 IR lights, combined with WDR technology, automatically adjust to light conditions, providing clear video even in low-light or unlit environments.
- Built-in GPS: The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's speed (KMH/MPH), time, and route in real-time. This data can be viewed on a map using a compatible GPS player on your computer or mobile device.
- Built-in WiFi & App: Connect your dashcam to your smartphone via WiFi using the free companion app (GFGCAM). This allows you to view, save, and share videos directly from your mobile device.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Micro SD Card Management
To ensure optimal performance and prevent recording errors, regular maintenance of your Micro SD card is crucial.
- Regular Formatting: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card every 2-4 weeks, especially if you frequently use the parking monitoring feature or have many locked files. This helps maintain card health and prevents data corruption.
- Card Capacity: The dashcam supports Micro SD cards up to 256GB. Ensure you use a high-quality, high-speed (Class 10 or U3 recommended) Micro SD card for reliable recording.
- Replacement: Micro SD cards have a limited lifespan due to continuous overwriting. If you experience frequent recording errors or file corruption, consider replacing the Micro SD card.
4.2 Cleaning
- Lenses: Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or smudges that could affect video quality.
- Device Body: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior of the dashcam. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
