3.2 Inch IPS Screen & Aluminum Alloy Case
The large 3.2-inch Full HD IPS screen offers a clear and intuitive user interface, making operation and menu navigation straightforward. The dash cam's body is constructed from professional aviation aluminum alloy, which not only provides a premium feel but also ensures excellent heat dissipation compared to plastic casings.
Loop Recording & Evidence Protection
The Miden S7 continuously records video, automatically overwriting the oldest footage when the microSD card is full. Important locked videos are protected from being overwritten, ensuring seamless recording and preservation of critical evidence. This feature helps safeguard your security rights and interests.

3-Axis G-Sensor & Accident Lock

In the event of a vehicle collision, the S7 will automatically save and lock the current video as evidence. You can also manually lock footage by pressing the lock button, useful for capturing interesting or important road events.

Parking Monitor & Splendid Night Vision

For superior low-light performance, the S7 features an f1.5 aperture, a 1/2.7'' CMOS image sensor, and WDR technology, ensuring clear capture of details like license plates day or night.

Free USB Reader & Best Cost-Effective
To facilitate easy video review, the package includes an additional USB card reader, offering a more convenient data transfer method than a Type-C cable.

Setup Guide
The Miden S7 dash camera features an innovative and minimalist design for easy installation without obstructing your driving view. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Mounting the Dash Cam: Attach the suction mount to the dash cam by screwing it into the top port. Clean your windshield thoroughly before attaching the suction mount to ensure a secure fit. Position the dash cam in a location that does not obstruct your view of the road.
- Connecting Power: Connect the charging cable to the dash cam's Type-C port (located on top). Route the cable discreetly along the edges of your windshield and dashboard using the provided wiring crowbar to tuck it under panels. Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter or USB port.
- Installing the Rear Camera: Connect the rear camera cable to the designated port on the main dash cam. Route this cable from the front dash cam to the rear of your vehicle. The long cable allows for discreet routing along the vehicle's interior trim. Secure the rear camera in a suitable position, typically on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view.
- Initial Power On & SD Card: The 64GB SD card is pre-installed. Once connected to power, the dash cam should automatically power on and begin recording.
