2. Front Camera Installation

1. Clean the chosen area on your windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, to ensure a strong adhesion for the mounting bracket.
2. Attach the mounting bracket (suction cup or adhesive) to the windshield.
3. Slide the front dash cam onto the mounting bracket until it locks securely.
4. Adjust the camera angle to ensure a clear view of the road ahead, avoiding obstruction from wipers or other vehicle components.

3. Rear Camera Installation

1. Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view.
2. Route the rear camera cable neatly along the vehicle's headliner and A-pillars to the front dash cam.
3. Connect the rear camera cable to the designated port on the front dash cam.

4. Power Connection (OBD Hardwire Kit)

The included OBD Hardwire Kit is required for enabling the 24/7 Parking Monitor feature.

1. Locate your vehicle's OBD-II port, usually found under the dashboard on the driver's side.
2. Connect the OBD plug of the hardwire kit to the vehicle's OBD-II port.
3. Route the Type-C USB cable from the hardwire kit to the front dash cam and connect it to the power input port.
4. Ensure the cables are tucked away safely and do not interfere with driving controls.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (if connected via hardwire kit or cigarette lighter adapter). It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

2. Loop Recording

The F7NP dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual intervention.

3. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder on the memory card.

4. 24/7 Parking Monitor

With the OBD Hardwire Kit installed, the dash cam can monitor your vehicle even when parked. There are two modes:

• G-Sensor Mode: The camera remains in standby and starts recording if an impact is detected.
• Time-lapse Mode: The camera continuously records at a low frame rate, compressing hours of footage into minutes, providing comprehensive surveillance while minimizing storage usage.

Note: The 24/7 Parking Monitor feature requires the included OBD Hardwire Kit for continuous power supply.

5. Built-in GPS Tracking

The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's precise location, speed, and driving route. This data can be viewed during video playback using the Redtiger Cam app or dedicated PC viewer software.

• Preview live video feed from both cameras.
• Download recorded videos to your phone at speeds up to 20MB/s.

Maintenance

1. Memory Card Management

• Formatting: It is recommended to format the memory card every 2-4 weeks to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's settings menu or the Redtiger Cam app.
• Replacement: Memory cards have a limited lifespan. If you experience frequent recording errors or corrupted files, consider replacing the memory card with a new, high-endurance card.

2. Cleaning

• Lenses: Gently wipe the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
