Operating Instructions

The Abask A8 Dashcam automatically powers on and begins recording when your vehicle starts. Familiarize yourself with its key features:

1. 4K Front + 1080P Cabin Recording

The dashcam is equipped with a front camera recording in 4K (2160P) resolution and a cabin camera recording in 1080P resolution. This dual-camera system captures high-definition video of both the road ahead and the vehicle's interior simultaneously, providing comprehensive video evidence in case of an accident or dispute.

2. GPS Functionality

The integrated GPS module allows the dashcam to track and record your driving route and speed. This data can be crucial evidence, providing an accurate record of your vehicle's location and movement during an event. You can review this information using compatible playback software on a computer.

3. Super Night Vision

Equipped with 4 discreet infrared (IR) lights and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, the Abask A8 Dashcam ensures clear and detailed images and videos even in low-light conditions or complete darkness. This feature is particularly beneficial for night driving, providing enhanced visibility and recording quality.

4. G-Sensor & Loop Recording

• G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor): With variable sensitivity, the G-Sensor automatically detects sudden shocks, collisions, or abrupt braking. In such events, it immediately saves and locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is preserved as evidence.
• Loop Recording: This function allows the dashcam to continuously record by overwriting the oldest video files when the memory card is full. This ensures that recording never stops due to a full card, while protected G-sensor triggered files remain safe.

5. Wide-Angle Field of View

The Abask A8 Dashcam offers a total 310° wide-angle field of view, with a 170° front lens and a 140° interior lens. This extensive coverage provides a comprehensive view of the road ahead and the entire inside of your car, minimizing blind spots and capturing more details.

6. 24-Hour Parking Mode

When your vehicle is parked, the dashcam's 24-hour parking mode monitors for impacts. If a shock is detected, the camera will automatically turn on and begin recording video, providing evidence if your car is scratched or damaged while unattended. Note: To enable this function, a hardwire kit (sold separately) is required to connect the dashcam directly to your car's fuse box for continuous power.
