Hardwire Kit for Parking Monitor

For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, an optional hardwire kit (ASIN: B09WCTZ3Y8) is required. This kit connects the dash cam directly to your vehicle's fuse box, providing constant power even when the ignition is off.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the device.
  • Firmware Updates: Regularly check for firmware updates via the REDTIGER app to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
  • Memory Card: Format the included 64GB memory card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain its performance and prevent data corruption. Replace the card if it shows signs of degradation or errors.
