3.4 Loop Recording & G-Sensor

Seamless loop recording overwrites the oldest videos when the memory card is full (except locked files). The G-sensor automatically locks the current video upon detecting shaking or collision, preventing it from being overwritten and saving it in the event folder for accident evidence.

4. Setup & Installation

4.1 Front Dash Cam Installation

The dash cam can be mounted using either the suction cup mount or the sticky mount. Choose a location on your windshield that does not obstruct your view. Ensure the windshield is clean and dry before applying the mount.

• Suction Cup Mount: Attach the suction cup to the dash cam. Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and flip the lever to secure it.
• Sticky Mount: Attach the sticky mount to the dash cam. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive and firmly press the mount onto the desired location on the windshield.

4.2 Rear Camera Installation

The rear camera comes with a 19-foot cable, suitable for most vehicles. Before permanent installation, test the rear camera by connecting it to the front dash cam and ensuring it displays correctly.

• Wiring: Route the rear camera cable from the front dash cam to the rear of your vehicle. You can hide the cable along the roof lining, A-pillars, and door sills for a neat installation.
• Connecting to Reversing Light (Optional): If you desire the parking aid line feature, connect the red wire of the rear camera cable to the positive pole of your car's reversing light. If not needed, simply wrap the red wire securely.
• Mounting: Mount the rear camera near your license plate lamp or on the rear window, ensuring a clear view.

4.3 Memory Card Installation

A 64GB Micro SD card is included with your dash cam. The dash cam supports up to 256GB. Ensure you use a Class 10, U3 or higher speed card for optimal performance.

• Insert the Micro SD card into the TF port on the side of the dash cam until it clicks into place.
• Before first use, it is highly recommended to format the memory card within the dash cam's settings to ensure compatibility and proper function.

4.4 Power Connection

Use the original car charger provided to power the dash cam. Plug the charger into your car's cigarette lighter socket. The dash cam will automatically start recording when your car is turned on.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ssontong A16W Dash Cam, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Dash Cam Not Working: Try restoring factory settings. If the issue persists, gently poke the reset hole with a card pin (refer to manual for location).
• WiFi Connection Unsuccessful: Ensure WiFi is enabled on the dash cam. On your phone, turn off auto-join for other networks before connecting to the dash cam's WiFi. If the app shows a black loading screen, your phone may have disconnected from the dash cam's WiFi; try re-linking.
• Rear Camera Not Displaying: Check all cable connections to ensure they are securely plugged in. You can switch the display of front and rear views by long-pressing the UP button on the dash cam.
• Screen Turning On/Off While Driving: For daily driving, it is recommended to turn off motion detection and screensavers in the settings to prevent the camera from frequently turning on and off. These features are primarily for parking mode.
