3. Connect Power: Plug the 12V/24V power adapter into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the other end of the power cable to the dash cam's power input port. Route the cable safely to avoid interference with driving controls.

5. Operating Instructions

Understand the basic functions of your YADA RoadCam.

• Automatic Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically begins continuous loop recording. Older files are overwritten by new ones when the MicroSD card is full.
• Accessing the Display: Use the 2-inch LCD display to view live footage, playback recorded videos, and adjust settings. Navigate through menus using the physical buttons located on the device.
• Manual Recording/Photo: Specific buttons may be available for manually starting/stopping recording or taking still photos. Refer to the on-screen interface for these options.

6. Features Explained

The YADA RoadCam 1080P Dash Cam includes several features to enhance your driving experience and security.

• Full HD 1080P Video Recording: Captures clear video at 30 frames per second (FPS) with a 114-degree wide-angle lens, ensuring broad coverage of the road.
• Smart Incident Recording (G-Sensor): An integrated G-Sensor detects sudden movements, such as hard braking or impacts. In such events, the dash cam automatically locks and saves the current footage to prevent it from being overwritten.
• Motion Detection & Park & Record Mode: When enabled, this feature allows the dash cam to monitor your vehicle for motion even when the engine is off. If motion is detected, it will automatically begin recording.
• Loop Recording: Ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest video files when the MicroSD card reaches its capacity. This eliminates the need for manual deletion of old footage.
• 2-inch LCD Display: Provides a compact screen for real-time viewing, instant playback of recorded footage, and easy navigation through device settings.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: Designed for ease of use, the dash cam is ready to operate quickly with minimal setup required, including the provided windshield mount and power adapter.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam.

• Clean the Lens: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video recording. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
• Format MicroSD Card: It is recommended to format the MicroSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's settings menu.
• Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and electronic components.
• Firmware Updates: Check the Yada official website periodically for any available firmware updates. Updates can improve performance and add new features.
