Operating Instructions
Automatic Recording
The dash camera will automatically begin recording when your vehicle starts. There is no need to manually activate recording each time you drive.
Using the FITCAMX App
The FITCAMX app allows you to view live footage, manage recorded videos, and download important clips to your smartphone.
- Download the App: Search for "FITCAMX" on the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and install it.
- Connect via WiFi: Turn on the dash cam's built-in WiFi. On your smartphone, go to WiFi settings and connect to the FITCAMX dash cam's network.

Loop Recording
The dash cam features loop recording, which means it continuously records video. When the storage card is full, the oldest unlocked footage will be automatically overwritten by new recordings.
G-Sensor and Emergency Locks
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such an event, the camera will automatically save and lock the current video footage into a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal video quality, regularly clean the dash cam lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage Card Management
While loop recording manages storage, it is recommended to periodically format the SD card (if you install one) through the app or camera settings to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
Temperature Considerations
The dash cam is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F). Extreme temperatures outside this range may affect performance or cause damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How to ensure the correct model?
Compare your vehicle's style, year, and rearview mirror cover shape. Contact FITCAMX customer service for detailed confirmation if unsure.
- Can I use CarPlay/Bluetooth when driving?
Yes. Your phone cannot be connected to CarPlay and the dash cam's WiFi simultaneously for live viewing, but the camera records automatically. You do not need to keep WiFi connected to the camera at all times for it to record.
- Can I add a rear camera with a front cam already installed?
No. The PCB boards are different for front-only and front+rear camera systems. If you wish to upgrade to a front+rear setup, you would need to replace the entire unit.
