Built-in 5G WiFi & App Control

The dash cam features built-in Dual-Band WiFi (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) for faster data transfer speeds. Connect to the "Oncam" app on your iPhone or Android device to easily control the dash camera, view live footage, download recorded videos, and share them. Note that the effective WiFi signal range is approximately 25ft and does not support remote live viewing from home.

Super Capacitor for Extreme Temperatures

Equipped with a built-in super capacitor instead of a traditional battery, the M572 dash cam can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to 158°F (70°C). This design enhances durability, heat resistance, and overall service life, preventing issues like overheating or explosion common with lithium batteries.

WDR Night Vision Technology

The dash cam incorporates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, an f/1.8 aperture, and a 6-layer lens to enhance image clarity in low-light conditions. This ensures clear video capture at night, including legible license plates, providing reliable evidence around the clock.

G-Sensor & Loop Recording

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden collisions or impacts, locking the current video file to prevent it from being overwritten. Loop recording ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest unlocked video files when the SD card is full, maximizing storage efficiency.

24H Parking Modes

The M572 offers two parking surveillance modes for 24/7 protection (requires optional 3-Lead Hardwire Kit, not included):

• Time-Lapse 1fps Parking Mode: Records continuously at one frame per second to maximize recording quantity over extended periods.
• Collision Detection Parking Mode: Automatically initiates a 1-minute recording when the G-sensor detects a collision while parked.

Maintenance

SD Card Management

To ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption, it is recommended to format your SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) directly through the dash cam's settings. This helps maintain the card's health and ensures smooth recording.

Temperature Considerations

The dash cam is designed to operate in temperatures from -4°F (-20°C) to 158°F (70°C). The normal working temperature of the dash cam itself is between 30℃ and 50℃. It is normal for the camera to feel slightly warm during operation.

Troubleshooting

• Rear Camera Disconnection: Do not plug or unplug the rear camera while the dash cam is in use. Always disconnect the dash cam's power first before connecting or disconnecting the rear camera.
• SD Card Not Recognized/Recording Issues: Ensure the SD card is formatted before first-time use. Only use recommended Class 10, U3 Speed micro-SD cards. Avoid using "SanDisk Ultra" or generic "Class 10" cards from third-party sellers, as they may not support the required high write/read speeds.
• WiFi Connection Issues: Remember that WiFi is for connection between your phone and the dash cam for viewing/downloading videos, not for wireless operation of the dash cam itself. The dash cam must always be connected to power.
• Buttons Unresponsive with App Connected: When the dash cam is connected to the mobile app via WiFi, its physical buttons may become unresponsive. Disconnect from the app to regain normal button control.
• Dash Cam Feels Warm: It is normal for the dash camera to run slightly hot, as its working temperature is typically between 30℃ and 50℃. This is due to the super capacitor design and is not an indication of malfunction.
