Thank you for choosing the FITCAMX 4K Dash Cam. This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your dash cam. Designed for a seamless OEM factory look, this dash cam integrates perfectly into your Kia Niro Hybrid or EV (2023-2025 models) without visible wires.
The dash cam records in stunning 2160P UHD video, features built-in WiFi for easy access via the FITCAMX app, and includes essential functions like loop recording and a G-sensor for collision detection.

2. Compatibility Check
Before proceeding with installation, verify that your vehicle is compatible with the FITCAMX HD2-AT100 dash cam. This model is specifically designed for Kia Niro Hybrid and Niro EV models from 2023 to 2025.
Two steps to identify compatibility:
- Step 1: Check if the part number of your original rearview mirror cover is 96030-AT100.
- Step 2: Check if there is a 10-pin plug in the middle of your rearview mirror connector.

If both conditions are met, your vehicle is compatible. If you are unsure, please contact customer support with photos of your rearview mirror area.

4. Operating Instructions

Recording Features:
- 4K UHD Video: The dash cam records in 2160P (4K) at 30 frames per second, ensuring clear and detailed footage. It features an f/1.6 large aperture lens and a high-sensitivity CMOS sensor for excellent video quality in various lighting conditions. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology enhances night vision by balancing exposure.
- Loop Recording: When the storage card is full, the dash cam automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked footage with new content. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention. The included 64GB MicroSD card provides approximately 5 hours of recording, and the system supports up to 256GB cards for extended storage (up to 10 hours).
- G-Sensor: The built-in G-sensor detects sudden collisions or impacts. In such an event, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident footage is preserved.
- Night Vision: Equipped with WDR technology, the dash cam provides clear video recording even in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility during nighttime driving.
