4. Setup and Installation

4.1. Inserting the TF Card

Insert the provided 32GB TF card into the TF card slot (9) on the dash cam. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place. To remove, gently press the card until it pops out.

4.2. Dash Cam Installation Procedure

Follow these steps for proper installation of the dash cam in your vehicle:

1. Step 1: Clean the Installation Area. Use a clean rag to wipe the glass surface on your windshield where the dash cam will be mounted. Ensure the area is free of dust and grease for optimal adhesion.
2. Step 2: Prepare the Mount. If using an adhesive mount, tear off the protective film from the adhesive pad. If using a suction cup mount, ensure the suction cup is clean.
3. Step 3: Mount the Dash Cam. Press the dash cam mount firmly onto the cleaned glass surface. For suction cup mounts, engage the locking mechanism.
4. Step 4: Connect the Rear Camera (Optional). If using the rear camera, connect its cable to the main dash cam unit. Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to the rear of the car. The red line on the rear camera extension cable is the reversing trigger line; connect this to your vehicle's reversing light power supply for automatic reverse view switching. This connection is optional; the rear camera image can still be manually selected without it.
5. Step 5: Connect Power Supply. Connect the power cord to the dash cam's USB port (8) and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
6. Step 6: Adjust Angle. Adjust the angle of the front camera to ensure it captures the road ahead clearly. Adjust the interior camera and rear camera (if installed) for desired coverage.

• Automatic Power: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on.
• Manual Power: Press and hold the Power Switch (3) to manually turn the device on or off.

5.2. Recording Modes and Views

• Front View Camera: Records the road ahead (150° wide-angle).
• Internal Camera: Records the driver and vehicle interior. The round cover can be moved to open or block this camera for privacy.
• Rear View Camera: Provides a view of the area behind the vehicle (120° wide-angle). Useful for reversing assistance.

5.3. Automatic Loop Recording

The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the TF card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

5.4. G-Sensor (Collision Detection)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical event footage is preserved.

5.5. Parking Monitoring

When the vehicle is parked, the dash cam can continue to monitor for impacts. If a collision is detected while parked, the dash cam will automatically power on and record, providing evidence for incidents like bumps or vandalism.
Note: This function may require a hardwire kit (sold separately) for continuous power.
