2.5. Connecting the GPS Antenna (Optional)

For accurate speed data and full ADAS functionality (especially LDWS and Front Vehicle Start Reminder), connect the GPS antenna to the DVR unit and place it in a location with a clear view of the sky, such as on the dashboard near the windshield.

2.6. Inserting the TF Card

Locate the TF card slot on the DVR unit. Insert the provided (or a compatible) TF card (Class 10 or higher, up to 128GB recommended) with the gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place. The device requires a TF card for video recording.

4. Key Features

4.1. CarPlay & Android Auto

Connect your smartphone via a wired USB connection to access CarPlay or Android Auto. This allows you to use navigation, make calls, send messages, and listen to music directly from the DVR screen.

• Wired Connection: Use a USB cable to connect your phone to the DVR.
• Compatibility: Supports Android 10 and above, as well as older Android mobile phones, resolving screen projection issues for a wider range of devices.
• Note: Huawei mobile phones are not supported for CarPlay/Android Auto functionality.

4.2. GPS Navigation

When in CarPlay or Android Auto mode, the DVR can utilize your phone's GPS navigation. You can activate voice assistants (e.g., Siri, Google Assistant) to set destinations and receive turn-by-turn directions, enhancing convenience and safety.

4.3. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)

The ADAS system provides real-time alerts to help prevent accidents. Ensure the GPS antenna is connected for full functionality.

• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS): Alerts you if your vehicle deviates from its lane.
  • Trigger Condition: If using a GPS antenna, vehicle speed must be 50 km/h or higher. Without a GPS antenna, there is no speed requirement for LDWS.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Warns you if you are approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly, helping to prevent rear-end collisions.
• Front Vehicle Start Reminder System: Notifies you when the vehicle in front of you starts moving, useful in traffic jams.
  • Requirement: This function requires the GPS antenna to be connected for normal operation.

4.4. 24-Hour Parking Monitoring

With the parking monitoring function, the DVR can record video in parking mode, capturing potential collisions or events even when your vehicle is parked, providing comprehensive protection.

4.5. High-Resolution Video Recording & Night Vision

• 4K UHD Front Camera: Records in true 3840x2160P 4K resolution, capturing critical details like license plates and road signs.
• 1080P Rear Camera: Provides clear footage from the rear of the vehicle.
• H.265 Encoding: Utilizes H.265 video compression, which saves over 30% more storage space compared to H.264, allowing for more recorded video.
• TS Format (Power Off Protection): Records in TS format, which helps save files even if the vehicle is shut down abruptly in a crash, unlike MP4 format which may result in lost or damaged files.
• Night Vision: Capable of recording clear images and videos even in low-light conditions.
