4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Dual Channel Recording
The Affver A4 dash cam records simultaneously from both the front and rear cameras. The front camera captures video in stunning 4K UHD (2160P) resolution with a 160-degree wide-angle view, while the rear camera records in 1080P resolution with a 155-degree wide-angle. This provides comprehensive coverage for accident disputes and insurance claims.

4.2 Enhanced 5GHz WiFi with APP
The dash cam features built-in 5GHz WiFi, allowing for faster video download speeds (up to 8MB/s) to your smartphone via the free companion app. This significantly reduces transfer times compared to 2.4GHz WiFi. The app enables you to preview, download, edit, and share your recorded videos directly from your phone.

4.5 Seamless Loop Recording & G-sensor
Loop Recording: The dash cam automatically overwrites the oldest video files when the memory card reaches its capacity, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention. The included 64GB card provides ample storage, and the system supports up to 256GB cards (not included).
G-sensor (Gravity Sensor): In the event of a sudden collision or impact, the built-in 3-axis gravity sensor automatically detects the event and locks the current video file, protecting it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical footage is preserved.

4.6 One-Press Lock
During recording, you can manually press the 'M' button on the dash cam to instantly lock the current video file. This prevents it from being deleted by the loop recording cycle, allowing you to save important moments on demand.

4.7 24-Hour Parking Monitor
When connected to the optional hardwire kit (ASIN: B0DCNSYCF9), the A4 dash cam provides continuous surveillance even when your car is parked and turned off. It offers two modes:
- Collision Detection: The camera activates upon impact, records for one minute, and saves the footage as an emergency file.
- Time-Lapse Recording: When enabled, the camera records at 1FPS (frames per second), conserving memory card space while maintaining video quality for extended monitoring periods.

4.8 Super Night Vision
Equipped with an ultra-large F1.6 aperture and a 6-layer lens, the A4 dash cam significantly boosts light intake by 60%. Enhanced by WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, it automatically adjusts exposure in extremely dark settings, delivering clear, high-quality videos both day and night.

- Screen always on
- Screen Saver on after 1 min
- Screen off after 1 min

5. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- MicroSD Card Management: Periodically back up important footage from your MicroSD card to a computer or cloud storage. While loop recording manages space, regular formatting (e.g., once a month) can help maintain card performance and prevent data corruption.
- Firmware Updates: Check the official Affver website or app for any available firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware up-to-date can improve performance and add new features.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and electronic components.
6. Troubleshooting
- Q: What should I keep in mind when using the dash cam for the first time?
- A: Please format the SD card before using the dash cam for the first time. Additionally, keep the A4 dash cam connected to the provided cigarette lighter charger for daily use, as it doesn't have a built-in battery. If your car lacks a cigarette lighter port, contact us for a compatible USB Type-C cable.
- Q: How do I activate the parking monitoring feature? Is a separate hardwire kit necessary?
- A: To activate the 24-hour parking monitoring feature on this dash cam, you'll need a Type-C hardwire kit (not included with the camera). You can find the recommended kit on Amazon by searching for B0DCNSYCF9.
- Q: Rear camera doesn't display? Or shows a black image?
- A: Make sure the rear camera cable is connected correctly and fully plugged into the rear camera input port. Many people think they've plugged it all the way to the bottom, but they don't. Please push it harder again.
- Q: Forgot the password?
- A: To connect the camera using the Peztio app, ensure that the camera's WiFi hotspot is enabled. The A4's WiFi hotspot name and default password are provided below:
