5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to the car's power supply and the engine starts. It will power off shortly after the engine is turned off.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically starts continuous loop recording.
• Screen Display: The 2.0-inch IPS screen displays the live view from the cameras and menu options.

5.2 App Control (Viidure App)

The Viidure app allows for convenient control and management of your dash cam via Wi-Fi.

1. Download the App: Download and open the "Viidure" application from your smartphone's app store.
2. Turn on Dash Cam Wi-Fi: Turn on the car camera.
3. Connect to Wi-Fi: Go to your phone's Wi-Fi settings and connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network (e.g., A12x-xxx). The default password is 12345678. (Ensure VPN, Bluetooth, and cellular data are turned off if connection issues occur).
4. Access Features: Once connected, you can use the app for:
   • Live View: Stream real-time footage from both cameras.
   • Playback and Download: Access and review recorded footage without removing the SD card. Download important clips to your phone.
   • Settings Configuration: Adjust various settings such as resolution, recording modes, and sensitivity.
   • Firmware Updates: Update the dash cam's firmware directly through the app.

Important Notes for Wi-Fi Connection:

• The Wi-Fi app operates over short distances (within 10 meters without obstructions). Remote monitoring is not possible.
• When connected to the dash cam via a point-to-point connection, your phone will temporarily lose internet access.
• In the latest Viidure app version, the dash cam will automatically resume recording after you exit the Wi-Fi app.
• Your phone must be disconnected from CarPlay/Android Auto when using the Viidure app.

5.3 Loop Recording

The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous operation without manual deletion of old footage.

5.4 G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden movements or impacts (e.g., collisions). When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.

5.5 24-Hour Parking Mode

To enable 24-hour parking monitoring, a dedicated hardwire kit is required (sold separately). This kit connects the dash cam directly to your car's fuse box, allowing it to record even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. The hardwire kit typically includes low voltage protection to prevent draining your car battery.

6. Maintenance

6.1 SD Card Formatting

For optimal performance, the SD card should be formatted regularly. When inserting a new SD card for the first time, it must be formatted on the app. If you encounter issues formatting via the app, format it to FAT32 on your computer first, then try formatting it again using the app.

Recommended SD Card: Use a Class 10, U3 or higher speed Micro SD card from a reputable brand (32GB-256GB).

6.2 Temperature Range

The dash cam is designed to operate within a wide temperature range, from -22°F (-30°C) to 176°F (80°C), extending its usage and reliability in various climates.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their solutions.

Q1: How does the parking mode work if the power switches off with the ignition?

A1: A dedicated hardwire kit is required (not included) to connect the car's fuse box. If you wish to implement this feature, you may purchase the hardwire kit separately or contact customer support for assistance.

Q2: Dashcam APP can't connect to WiFi? Why can't I watch the live video on the APP?

A2: Ensure to grant permissions for photo album access, location, WiFi, and cellular data when opening the app. Disable VPN, Bluetooth, cellular data, security software, and antivirus apps on your phone. Also, disconnect from CarPlay/Android Auto as they cannot be used simultaneously with the app.

Q3: How to format the SD card?

A3: You can connect to the APP via the dashcam's WiFi, enter the APP, select camera settings, then click format. Alternatively, format the memory card on your computer first, and then format it again using the app.

Q4: Does the car battery run out if the dash cam light stays on after parking or my vehicle has a permanent live cigar socket?

A4: Yes, if the dash cam light remains on after parking, it can drain the car battery over time. If your cigarette socket is permanently powered, you must unplug the dash cam. Alternatively, installing a dedicated wiring kit enables 24-hour parking monitoring with low voltage protection, preventing battery drain by automatically disconnecting when low voltage is detected. Contact customer support if you need assistance with this requirement.
