Maintenance

SD Card Management

• The loop recording feature automatically manages storage by overwriting the oldest files. However, it is recommended to periodically back up important footage to a computer or cloud storage.
• To access files directly, remove the SD card from the dash cam and insert it into a compatible card reader connected to your computer. Alternatively, use the Anyski app to download files directly to your smartphone.

Cleaning

• Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Keep the windshield area where the dash cam is mounted clean to maintain strong adhesion and prevent obstruction of the camera's view.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power source. Check the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket for power.
• SD Card Error/Prompt to Format: This is normal for initial setup. Follow the instructions to format the SD card. If it persists, try a different compatible SD card (Class 10, U3 speed, up to 256GB).
• WiFi Connection Issues: Ensure the dash cam's WiFi is enabled. If your phone struggles to connect to the 5GHz network, try holding the power button on the dash cam for 3 seconds to switch to 2.4GHz mode.
• Poor Video Quality: Ensure the camera lenses are clean and free from smudges or dirt. Check that the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Verify the resolution settings in the app.
• Dash Cam Falling Off Windshield: Ensure the windshield surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before applying the electrostatic film and adhesive mount. Apply firm pressure for sufficient adhesion. Consider replacing the adhesive pad if it has lost its stickiness.
• No Audio Recording: Check the audio recording settings in the Anyski app to ensure it is enabled.
