Operating Instructions
Initial Setup and App Connection
The dash cam is designed for ease of use. After installation, you can connect to the built-in WiFi and use the Viidure APP on your smartphone. This allows for live preview of recordings, management of video files, and quick downloads of important footage.

Recording Features
- Loop Recording: The camera automatically overwrites the oldest footage when the microSD card is full. It supports cards up to 256GB.
- G-Sensor: In the event of a sudden collision, the integrated G-Sensor will trigger the dash cam to automatically record and lock the current video. This prevents the footage from being overwritten, ensuring critical evidence is preserved.
- High-Quality Video: Records in 2160P/30fps, capturing clear and detailed video.
- Night Vision: Enhanced night vision capabilities ensure clear recordings even in low-light environments.
Viewing Footage
Footage can be viewed directly on your phone via the Viidure APP or by inserting the MicroSD card into a computer.
