Rear Dash Cam Installation
Step 1: Route the Rear Cam Cable
Connect the rear cam cable to the main dash cam unit. Use the car wire trim tool to carefully tuck the cable along the headliner and down the side pillars to the rear of the vehicle. Ensure the cable is hidden and does not interfere with airbags or other vehicle functions.

Step 2: Mount the Rear Cam
Mount the rear cam on the rear glass indoors, typically at the top center, ensuring a clear view. Use the adhesive provided. Before final mounting, connect the rear cam to the dash cam and open the "SkyCamm" APP to connect to the dash camera. Enter the camera preview interface to adjust the angle of the rear cam for optimal recording.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
The dash cam is designed to power on automatically when your vehicle starts and power off when the vehicle is turned off. No manual intervention is typically required for basic operation.
Video Recording
The dash cam automatically begins recording upon power-on. It records in a continuous loop, overwriting the oldest footage when the memory card is full. The front camera records in 4K UHD (2160P/30fps) and the rear camera in 1080P.

Wi-Fi and App Control
The dash cam features built-in Wi-Fi for seamless connection to your smartphone via the dedicated "SkyCamm" app. This app allows you to:
- View real-time video feeds from both cameras.
- Download recorded videos and photos directly to your phone.
- Adjust camera settings.
- Share footage to social media.

G-Sensor (Automatic Incident Detection)
The integrated G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the dash cam automatically locks the current video footage to a specified folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

Parking Monitor
With an optional OBD Power Adapter or Fuse Box Power Adapter (sold separately), the dash cam can provide 24-hour parking protection. It automatically switches to parking mode and records incidents when motion or impact is detected while the vehicle is parked.
Note: Parking monitor requires an external power source (e.g., OBD Power Adapter ASIN: B0CVTKTCVY or Fuse Box Power Adapter ASIN: B0CXXXV4YG).

Maintenance
Memory Card Management
The dash cam supports seamless loop recording. While the included 128GB MicroSD card provides ample storage, it is recommended to periodically format the card (e.g., once a month) using the dash cam's app settings to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.

Cleaning
To ensure clear video quality, regularly clean the dash cam lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens coating.
Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | Incorrect power connection; vehicle power issue. | Verify all power connections are secure. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on. |
| Video footage is blurry or unclear. | Dirty lens; protective film still on lens; improper focus. | Clean the lens with a soft cloth. Remove any protective film. Adjust the lens angle if necessary. |
