2. Format TF Card: It is recommended to format the TF card within the dash cam settings before first use and periodically thereafter to ensure optimal performance.

3.2 Mounting the Dash Cam

1. Front Camera Placement: Choose a location on your windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, that does not obstruct your driving view. Clean the area thoroughly.
2. Attach Mount: Use the provided 3M adhesive mount to securely attach the front dash cam to the chosen location. The removable mount allows for easy transfer between vehicles.
3. Adjust Angle: The front camera can be rotated 360° to achieve the desired recording angle.
4. Rear Camera Placement: Install the rear camera on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view of the road behind.

3.3 Wiring and Power Connection

2. Connect Rear Camera: Connect the rear camera to the front unit using the provided AV-IN cable.
3. Cable Management: Use the pry tool to neatly tuck the power and rear camera cables along the edges of your windshield and interior trim to avoid obstruction and maintain a tidy appearance.
4. Optional Hardwire Kit: For 24-hour parking monitoring functionality, a separate hardwire kit (not included) is required. Consult the hardwire kit's instructions or a professional for installation.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

• The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on.
• It will automatically power off shortly after the ignition is turned off.

4.2 Recording Modes

• Dual Recording: Records simultaneously from the front (2.5K) and rear (1080P) cameras.
• Single Front Recording: Records from the front camera only at 4K resolution. This mode can be selected via the dash cam settings or the mobile app.

4.3 Loop Recording

The dash cam continuously records in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the TF card reaches its storage limit, the oldest unprotected video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures that recording never stops due to a full memory card.

4.4 G-Sensor and Emergency Video Lock

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder on the TF card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock a video segment by briefly pressing the left button on the dash cam.

• View live footage from the dash cam.
