2. Attach the suction cup mount to the dash camera.
3. Press the suction cup firmly against the cleaned windshield and engage the locking mechanism to secure it. Position the camera to ensure a clear view of the road ahead and the vehicle interior.

4.3 Menu Navigation

Use the physical buttons on the camera (usually labeled Mode, Up, Down, OK) to navigate through the menu options. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific settings such as resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, and date/time.

5. Features Explained

5.1 G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical event footage is preserved.

5.2 Loop Recording

This feature allows continuous recording. When the micro SD card reaches its storage limit, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files. This ensures you always have the most recent footage without manually clearing the card.

5.3 Night Vision

Equipped with infrared (IR) lights, the dash camera enhances recording clarity in low-light or nighttime conditions, capturing details that might otherwise be missed.

5.4 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

WDR technology balances exposure in scenes with high contrast, such as bright sunlight and deep shadows. This results in clearer video footage where both bright and dark areas are visible, preventing overexposure or underexposure.

5.5 170° Wide-Angle View

The camera's wide-angle lens captures a broad perspective of the road and interior, minimizing blind spots and providing more comprehensive coverage of events.

6. Maintenance

• Clean the Lens: Regularly wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings.
• Format SD Card: Periodically format the micro SD card (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important files before formatting.
• Check Mount: Ensure the suction cup mount remains securely attached to the windshield. Re-clean the surface and re-attach if necessary.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash camera to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and component integrity.
