Step 1: Insert a Correct SD Card

Operating Instructions

Video Recording Quality (2.5K UHD & 170° Wide Angle)

The GKU D200 records in 2.5K UHD (2560x1600P) resolution, providing significantly clearer and more detailed footage compared to standard 1080P. The 170° wide-angle lens captures a broad perspective of the road, minimizing blind spots.

Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in continuous loops. When the memory card reaches its storage limit, the oldest unlocked recordings are automatically overwritten by new footage. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts, collisions, or abrupt braking. When triggered, it locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate, protected folder on the SD card.

24 Hours Parking Monitor

With an optional hardwire kit (not included), the dash cam can provide 24-hour surveillance. When your vehicle is parked, the dash cam will automatically switch to parking mode and continue recording, capturing incidents even when the engine is off. This feature helps ensure continuous protection for your vehicle.

Night Vision & WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

The dash cam is equipped with advanced night vision capabilities and WDR technology. Night vision enhances clarity in low-light environments, such as nighttime driving or tunnels. WDR balances exposure, ensuring clear video quality in scenes with high contrast, preventing overexposure in bright areas and underexposure in dark areas.

Voice Broadcast

The dash cam provides voice prompts to inform you about its operational status, such as "Stop Recording," "Start Recording," or "Video Locked." This allows you to confirm the camera's function without needing to look at the device.

APP Control (JarvisCam)

The JarvisCam app provides full control over your dash cam via Wi-Fi. You can:

• View live video feed from the dash cam.
• Download recorded videos and photos directly to your smartphone.
• Change dash cam settings (e.g., resolution, G-sensor sensitivity, loop recording duration).
• Edit and share videos on social media platforms.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lens and body. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• SD Card Management: Regularly format your Micro SD card (at least once a month) through the app to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up important files before formatting.
• Firmware Updates: Check the GKU official website or the JarvisCam app for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Storage Conditions: When not in use for extended periods, store the dash cam in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
