3. Inserting the SD Card

Locate the MMC Card Slot on the dash cam. Gently insert the provided 32G MMC card until it clicks into place. The device supports up to a 64G MMC card.

4. Connecting Power

Connect the car cigarette lighter cable to the "Power Interface" on the dash cam and plug the other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. The dash cam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on when connected to power and the vehicle ignition is on. To manually power on/off, press and hold the Power Button.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. The front, inside, and rear cameras will record simultaneously.

Recording Modes

• Loop Recording: Videos are recorded in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unprotected files will be overwritten to make space for new recordings.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will detect the event and automatically lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.

Parking Monitor & Motion Detection

To utilize the 24-hour parking monitoring feature, the dash cam must be connected to a hardwire kit (not included) or an external battery to ensure continuous power supply. When activated, the camera will automatically begin recording if motion is detected around the vehicle or if a collision occurs while parked.

Night Vision Activation

Press the "Night Vision Button" to toggle the infrared night vision feature for enhanced recording in dark conditions, particularly for the interior and rear cameras.

Menu Navigation and Playback

Use the "Menu/Photo/Playback Button" to access the settings menu, take still photos, or enter playback mode. Navigate through options using the "Up Key" and "Down Key," and confirm selections with the "Confirmation Key." In playback mode, you can review recorded videos and photos directly on the 2-inch IPS display.

Maintenance

• SD Card Management: Regularly check the SD card for proper function. While loop recording manages space, it is recommended to periodically format the card (after backing up important files) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lenses and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Temperature Considerations: The dash cam is designed to operate in a wide temperature range. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight in a parked car) or cold can affect battery life and performance. If possible, remove the dash cam from the windshield when parking in extreme conditions.
