Ensure the camera is mounted securely and provides a clear view of the rear of your vehicle.

4. Connecting the GPS Antenna

Connect the GPS antenna to the designated port on the mirror dash cam. Position the antenna in an area with a clear view of the sky, typically on the dashboard or near the windshield, to ensure optimal signal reception for accurate GPS tracking.

5. Power Connection

Connect the provided car charger to the Type-C port on the mirror dash cam and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The device will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. To manually power off, press and hold the power button located on the device. The device will automatically power off when the vehicle's ignition is turned off.

2. Using the 12" Full Touch IPS Screen

4. Recording Features

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records, overwriting the oldest files when the memory card is full. This ensures uninterrupted recording.
• G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor): Detects sudden movements or impacts (e.g., collisions) and automatically locks the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten.
• Collision Boot Recording: If an impact is detected while the vehicle is parked, the dash cam will automatically power on and record a short video.
• Enhanced Night Vision: Equipped with a Starvis sensor and WDR&HDR technology, the camera captures clear videos even in low-light conditions, improving visibility of license plates and road details.

5. 24-Hour Parking Monitor

When enabled (requires hardwire kit, not included), the 24-hour parking monitor provides continuous surveillance of your vehicle while parked. The time-lapse mode records at a very low frame rate, conserving power and storage space while ensuring all events are captured.

2. Memory Card Management
