App Functions:

• Real-time View: Stream live video footage from the dash cam directly to your smartphone.
• Video Playback: Review recorded videos directly on your phone.
• Download Footage: Download important video clips to your device for storage or sharing.
• Settings Adjustment: Configure dash cam settings, including resolution, loop recording duration, parking mode sensitivity, and more.

Note: To ensure proper preview functionality, it may be necessary to temporarily turn off cellular data or Bluetooth on your smartphone when connecting to the dash cam's WiFi. The FITCAMX camera will not interfere with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto functionality.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your FITCAMX dash cam.

• Clean Lens: Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear video recording. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Memory Card Management: Format the 64GB memory card regularly (e.g., once a month) via the app to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
• Firmware Updates: Check the FITCAMX app or official website for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FITCAMX dash cam, refer to the following common solutions:

• Dash Cam Not Recording:
  • Ensure the memory card is properly inserted and formatted.
  • Check if the power connection is secure.
  • Verify that loop recording is enabled in the app settings.
• WiFi Connection Issues:
  • Ensure your phone's cellular data or Bluetooth is temporarily disabled when connecting to the dash cam's WiFi.
  • Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone.
• No Video Preview in App:
  • As mentioned, turn off cellular data/Bluetooth on your phone.
  • Ensure a stable WiFi connection to the dash cam.
• Can I use CarPlay/Bluetooth while driving?
  Yes. Your phone cannot be connected to CarPlay and the dash cam's WiFi simultaneously for app functions. However, the camera records automatically after the car starts, so you do not need to maintain a WiFi connection to the camera at all times for recording.
• Can I add a rear camera to a front-only setup?
  No, because the internal PCB boards are different. If you require a front and rear camera setup, you would need to replace the entire unit with a compatible dual-channel system.
