• 1 x 64GB Micro SD Card
• Power Cable (Car Charger)

Setup

1. Inserting the Micro SD Card

Before inserting or removing the Micro SD card, ensure the dash cam is powered off. The device supports Micro SD cards up to 128GB. For optimal performance, use a U3 or higher speed card.

After inserting the card, it is recommended to format it directly within the dash cam's settings menu. This ensures compatibility and prepares the card for recording.

2. Mounting the Dash Cam

The YOVDA W2 dash cam typically uses a suction cup mount for installation on the windshield. Choose a location that does not obstruct your view of the road.

1. Clean the windshield surface where you intend to mount the dash cam.
2. Attach the suction cup mount to the dash cam.
3. Press the suction cup firmly onto the windshield, ensuring it is in a flat position and securely attached.
4. Adjust the angle of the dash cam and its individual cameras to cover the desired viewing areas (front, rear, left, right, and interior).

3. Connecting Power

Connect the provided power cable to the dash cam and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The dash cam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts and power off when the engine is turned off.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam powers on automatically with vehicle ignition and powers off when the engine is off. Manual power buttons may also be present for specific functions.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically begins loop recording.
• Display: The 3.0-inch IPS screen displays live views from the cameras. You can switch between camera views through the device's menu.

Advanced Features

Loop Recording

The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the Micro SD card reaches its maximum capacity, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording.

G-Sensor (Collision Detection)

In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor automatically detects the event and locks the current video file. This prevents the footage from being overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.

24-Hour Parking Monitor

To activate the 24-hour parking monitoring feature, an optional hardwire kit (not included) is required. This kit provides continuous power to the dash cam, allowing it to record events even when the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. The system typically uses motion detection or G-sensor triggers to record parking incidents.

Night Vision

The dash cam is equipped with advanced night vision capabilities, including an F1.8 large aperture, 4 infrared lights, and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology. This allows for clear video recording in low-light conditions, both inside and outside the vehicle.

Built-in GPS

The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's speed, time, and geographical location. This data can be viewed on a map using a dedicated GPS player software on your computer, providing a detailed record of your routes.

Built-in Wi-Fi and App Control

Connect your smartphone to the dash cam via Wi-Fi using the dedicated mobile application. This allows you to:

• View live footage from the cameras.
