3. Setup and Installation
3.1. Mirror Dash Cam Installation
- Secure the mirror dash cam over your existing rearview mirror using the provided rubber straps. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not obstruct your view.
- Insert the 64GB MicroSD card into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Connect the USB-C power cable from the dash cam to the car charger, then plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim.
3.2. Rear Camera Installation
- Mount the rear camera at the back of your vehicle, typically above the license plate or inside the rear window. Ensure it has a clear view.
- Route the rear camera cable from the back of the vehicle to the front, connecting it to the rear camera input port on the mirror dash cam.
- For reversing assistance functionality, connect the red wire from the rear camera cable to your vehicle's reverse light power wire. This allows the dash cam to automatically display the rear view with parking guidelines when reverse gear is engaged.
3.3. GPS Module Connection
Connect the GPS module cable to the dedicated GPS port on the dash cam. Position the GPS module on your dashboard or windshield where it has a clear view of the sky for optimal signal reception.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
4.2. Touch Screen Operation
The 10-inch touch screen provides intuitive control over the dash cam's functions.
- Adjusting Viewing Angle: Slide your finger up or down on the screen to adjust the vertical viewing angle of the camera.
- Switching Camera Views: Slide your finger left or right on the screen to switch between the front camera view, rear camera view, or split display.

This illustration shows the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) balance feature, which automatically adjusts exposure to prevent overexposure in bright conditions and underexposure in dark conditions, ensuring clear video footage.
4.3. Recording Features
- Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records, overwriting the oldest footage when the memory card is full. Important footage can be locked to prevent overwriting.
- G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions and automatically locks the current video segment, protecting it from being overwritten.
- 24H Parking Monitor: With the hardwire kit installed, the dash cam can monitor your vehicle for impacts even when parked. It can record continuously at 1 frame per second (time-lapse) for extended periods or trigger normal recording upon impact.
- Night Vision: Enhanced low-light performance ensures clear recordings even in challenging night driving conditions.

4.4. GPS Functionality
The external GPS module records your vehicle's precise speed and location data, which is embedded into the video files. This data can be reviewed using dedicated PC software (often found on the provided SD card), allowing you to see your driving route on a map alongside the video footage.

4.5. Reversing Assist
When the vehicle is shifted into reverse (and the rear camera is correctly wired to the reverse light), the dash cam automatically displays the rear camera view with adjustable parking guidelines, aiding in safe parking maneuvers.

5. Maintenance
5.1. SD Card Management
To ensure optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption, it is recommended to format the MicroSD card regularly, approximately once a month. While the device has a format option, some users report needing to format the card via a computer for consistent performance. Use the provided SD card reader for this purpose.
5.2. Cleaning
Gently wipe the dash cam screen and camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | No power supply; loose connection; faulty car charger. | Check car charger connection to cigarette lighter and dash cam. Ensure vehicle ignition is on. Test charger in another vehicle or use a different USB-C cable/charger if available. |
| "Please format SD card" error frequently appears. | SD card corruption; incompatible SD card; full SD card. | Format the SD card using the dash cam's menu. If the issue persists, remove the SD card and format it on a computer using the provided card reader. Consider replacing the SD card with a high-quality, high-speed card if the problem continues. |
| Rear camera not displaying or showing reversed image. | Loose cable connection; incorrect wiring of reverse trigger wire; faulty camera. | Check the connection of the rear camera cable to the dash cam. Ensure the red trigger wire is correctly connected to the vehicle's reverse light power. If the image is reversed, check dash cam settings for a mirror/flip option. |
| GPS signal not acquired or inaccurate. | GPS module obstructed; poor satellite reception. | Ensure the GPS module is placed in an open area with a clear view of the sky (e.g., dashboard, top of windshield). Avoid placing it under metal objects or tinted areas that block signals. Allow a few minutes for signal acquisition after starting the vehicle. |
| Recordings are choppy or missing. | Slow SD card write speed; full SD card; G-sensor sensitivity too high. | Format the SD card. Ensure you are using a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) MicroSD card. Reduce G-sensor sensitivity if recordings are being locked too frequently by minor bumps. |
