1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the AKEEYO EYES 2K Dash Cam. This device is designed to provide comprehensive vehicle surveillance with its advanced 3-camera recording system, ensuring safety and peace of mind on the road and while parked. This manual will guide you through the setup, operation, and maintenance of your dash cam.
2. Product Features
- ADAS Driving Support & BSD Blind Spot Monitoring: Equipped with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) to monitor front, left, right, and rear conditions in real-time. This reduces collision risks and blind spot hazards, providing alerts via sound and screen display.
- Wide-Angle and Telephoto Dual Lens System: Features both a wide-angle lens (135° front) for broad coverage and a telephoto lens to capture distant details like license plates and signs. This combination eliminates blind spots and enhances safety during long drives and high-speed travel.
- SONY STARVIS 2 Technology & HDR/WDR Night Vision: Incorporates SONY STARVIS sensors and an F1.8 large aperture lens to capture clear images in low-light and nighttime conditions. HDR/WDR technology prevents overexposure and underexposure, ensuring critical details are recorded even in challenging lighting, such as tunnel entrances or poorly lit roads.
- Wi-Fi & GPS Smart Connectivity: Easily connect to your smartphone via Wi-Fi to view recorded footage in real-time or share it on social media using the dedicated app. The built-in GPS accurately records driving distance, speed, and location information, serving as reliable evidence in case of an incident.
- 24-Hour Parking Surveillance & Time-Lapse Recording: Protects your vehicle from hit-and-runs or theft while parked. The 24-hour surveillance function automatically starts recording upon impact detection. Time-lapse mode enables extended recording by conserving memory, allowing up to 24 hours of footage storage.
