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. It is not necessary to maintain a continuous WiFi connection after initial setup and configuration.

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.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your AutoBora Dash Cam, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

  • Regularly check that the dash cam is securely mounted and not obstructing your view.
  • Keep the lens clean from dust and smudges using a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Periodically format the microSD card (at least once a month) to maintain its performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
  • Ensure the dash cam operates within its specified temperature range of -20°C to 85°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel if issues arise.

Troubleshooting
