4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your ZKCAMSPY D70-4K Dash Cam system:

1. Prepare the Windshield: Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam. Ensure it is free of dust and grease for optimal adhesion.
2. Apply Protective Film: Before attaching the dash cam, apply the clear protective film to the windshield first. This helps protect your windshield and ensures a strong bond for the dash cam's adhesive mount. Smooth out any air bubbles.
3. Mount the Dash Cam: Attach the adhesive mount to the top of the main dash cam unit. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive and firmly press the dash cam onto the prepared area of your windshield, ideally behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing your view.
4. Install the Rear Camera: Mount the external rear camera to the rear window or license plate area. Use the provided screws or adhesive as appropriate.
5. Route Cables: Connect the car charger to the dash cam and route the cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to your vehicle's 12V power outlet. Use the included pry tool to tuck the cable neatly under the trim for a clean installation. Connect the rear camera cable to the main unit and route it similarly to the rear of the vehicle.
6. Insert SD Card: Insert the provided 32GB SD card into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure it clicks into place.
7. Power On and Format: Plug the car charger into the 12V outlet. The dash cam should power on automatically. It is recommended to format the SD card through the dash cam's settings menu before first use to ensure proper functionality.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

• Automatic Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to your vehicle's power supply and the engine starts. It will power off automatically when the engine is turned off.
• Manual Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the side or bottom of the unit) to manually turn the dash cam on or off.

5.2 Recording Modes

• Normal Recording: Continuous recording when the vehicle is in motion. Footage is saved in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) to the SD card.
• Loop Recording: When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will automatically detect it and lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These files are typically stored in a separate "Event" folder.
• Parking Monitoring (Requires Hardwire Kit): If a hardwire kit is installed, the dash cam can monitor your vehicle while parked. It will automatically start recording if motion is detected or an impact occurs.

• PC Playback: Remove the SD card and insert it into a computer's card reader to view and manage video files.

6. Maintenance

• SD Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the SD card once a month to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done directly through the dash cam's settings menu.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lenses and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
