4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
4.2. 4K Front and 1080P Rear Recording
The front camera records in Ultra HD 4K resolution, capturing clear and detailed footage. The rear camera records in 1080P, providing comprehensive coverage of the area behind your vehicle. This dual recording ensures maximum protection and evidence collection.

4.3. WiFi & APP Smart Control
Connect your dash cam to your smartphone via Wi-Fi using the 'Viidure' app. The app allows you to:
- View live footage from both cameras.

- Edit and share your footage on social media.
- Adjust dash cam settings.

4.4. G-Sensor Emergency Lock
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the dash cam automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is preserved as evidence.

4.5. 24-Hour Parking Monitoring
With 24-hour parking monitoring, the dash cam can continuously record even when your vehicle is parked. This feature provides surveillance against collisions, theft, or scratches. Note: For continuous 24-hour recording, additional hardware (not included) may be required to provide constant power to the dash cam.
4.6. Loop Recording
Loop recording ensures that your dash cam never stops recording. When the storage limit of the SD card is reached, the newest video files will automatically overwrite the oldest unlocked files. You can set the loop recording duration to 1, 2, or 3 minutes via the settings.

4.7. WDR Technology
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology helps the dash cam capture optimal video quality in various lighting conditions, including low-light environments. It balances exposure to ensure details like license plates are visible without blurring or becoming too dark, even when transitioning from bright to dark areas.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- SD Card Care: Periodically format the SD card (at least once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and performance.
