4.2 Night Vision 2.0 with AI-ISP
Equipped with AI-ISP technology and an F1.55 large aperture, the dash cam provides enhanced night vision capabilities. It captures bright and clear video even in low-light conditions, improving visibility and security during nighttime driving and parking surveillance.

4.3 Parking Monitoring (AOV)
The AOV (Always On Vision) low-energy time-lapse recording feature significantly reduces power consumption, allowing for up to 8 days of parking surveillance. In sleep mode, monitoring can extend up to 20 days. The dash cam instantly wakes within 1 second to capture any anomalies, ensuring continuous protection. A hardwire kit is required for this feature.

4.4 ADAS Technology
The integrated ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) uses sensors to identify the vehicle's surroundings. It provides voice alerts for events such as front vehicle start-up and fatigue driving, contributing to a safer driving experience.

4.5 Loop Recording and G-Sensor
The dash cam features loop recording, which automatically overwrites the oldest footage when the TF card is full, ensuring continuous recording. The built-in G-sensor detects sudden changes in motion or impacts, automatically triggering the dash cam to save and lock the ongoing recording, providing crucial evidence in case of an incident.

4.6 Super Capacitor
The DDPAI MINI2X is equipped with a super capacitor, allowing it to perform reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -4°C to 158°C (-20°F to 70°C). This ensures stable operation and extended lifespan compared to traditional battery-powered dash cams.

5. Maintenance
- Clean the Lens: Regularly wipe the dash cam lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
- TF Card Management: Format the TF card periodically (e.g., once a month) using the DDPAI App to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
- Temperature Considerations: While the dash cam is designed for extreme temperatures, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in very hot conditions when not in use can be mitigated by parking in shade or temporarily removing the device.
- Firmware Updates: Check the DDPAI App regularly for firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dash cam not powering on. | Loose power connection, faulty car charger, vehicle power issue. | Check all cable connections. Ensure the car charger is properly inserted and the vehicle's power outlet is functional. Try a different USB port or car charger if available. |
| Video footage is blurry or unclear. | Dirty lens, protective film still on lens, improper mounting. | Clean the lens with a soft cloth. Remove any protective film. Ensure the dash cam is securely mounted and the windshield is clean. |
| TF card error or recording issues. | Incompatible TF card, corrupted card, card full. | Ensure you are using a compatible high-speed TF card (Class 10 or higher). Format the TF card via the DDPAI App. Replace the TF card if the issue persists. |
| Cannot connect to DDPAI App via Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi password, Wi-Fi interference, app glitch. | Ensure you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network broadcast by the dash cam. Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone. Try resetting the dash cam's Wi-Fi settings. |
| Parking monitoring not working. | No hardwire kit installed, incorrect settings. | Verify that a hardwire kit is correctly installed and connected. Check parking monitoring settings in the DDPAI App. |
