3. Setup
3.1 Inserting the Memory Card
Locate the memory card slot on the dash cam. Insert a Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, maximum support 32GB, not included) with the contacts facing the correct direction until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is formatted before first use (refer to Section 4.4).
3.2 Mounting the Dash Cam
- Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam.
- Attach the mount to the dash cam.
- Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the mount.
- Firmly press the dash cam with the mount onto the chosen area of the windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct your view.
- Adjust the angle of the front camera to capture the road ahead clearly.
3.3 Installing the Rear Camera
- Connect the rear camera cable to the main dash cam unit.
- Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's headliner and A-pillars to the rear of the vehicle.
- Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield, typically above the license plate or inside the vehicle, ensuring a clear view of the road behind. Use the provided screws or adhesive for secure installation.
3.4 Power Connection
- Plug the lighter power cord into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Connect the other end of the power cord to the dash cam's power input port.
- Route the power cable neatly to avoid interference with driving.
- The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Recording
Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start recording in a continuous loop. Video files are saved in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) to the Micro SD card. When the card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings.
4.2 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or collisions. When an impact is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can usually be adjusted in the settings menu.
4.3 Parking Monitoring
The 24-hour parking monitoring feature allows the dash cam to record events even when your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This function requires a continuous power supply, typically achieved by connecting the dash cam to your vehicle's fuse box using an original Buck Line (not included in standard package). When activated, the dash cam can detect impacts or motion and record short video clips.

4.4 Motion Detection
When motion detection is enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects movement in its field of view while parked. This feature is useful for capturing events around your vehicle when you are away.
4.5 Night Vision
The cabin camera is equipped with infrared (IR) LEDs to provide clear video recording inside the vehicle even in complete darkness. This ensures that passenger activity is captured effectively.
4.6 Backup Camera Function
When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the dash cam's screen will automatically display the rear camera feed, often with parking guide lines, to assist with safe parking maneuvers.

4.7 App Control (Optional)
If your dash cam supports Wi-Fi and app control, download the designated app from your smartphone's app store. Connect your phone to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password usually found in the dash cam's settings or manual). The app allows you to view live footage, playback recordings, download files, and adjust settings remotely.
4.8 Menu Navigation and Settings
Use the buttons on the dash cam to navigate through the menu. Common settings include:
- Resolution: Adjust video quality for front, cabin, and rear cameras.
- Loop Recording: Set video segment length (e.g., 1/3/5 minutes).
- G-Sensor Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity for emergency recording.
- Parking Mode: Enable/disable and configure parking surveillance.
- Motion Detection: Enable/disable.
- Date/Time: Set the correct date and time stamp for recordings.
- Format SD Card: Erase all data on the memory card.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Memory Card Management
It is recommended to format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure optimal performance. Always format the card using the dash cam's menu function, not on a computer. Replace the memory card if you experience frequent errors or recording issues.
5.2 Cleaning the Device
Gently wipe the camera lenses and the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the device. Ensure the lenses are clean for clear video recordings.
5.3 Environmental Considerations
Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods. High heat can damage the internal battery and electronics, while extreme cold can affect performance. If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight for extended times, consider removing the dash cam or using a sunshade.
