3.1 Important Notes Before Installation

• Only use DDPAI brand hardwire kits (ASIN: B0DJ2JVXLK or B0DJ2JQ2Z4) for 24-hour parking monitoring. Third-party hardwire kits are not compatible.
• A U3 Class 10 or higher Micro SD card is required. DDPAI recommends its own brand SD cards (ASIN: B0DJ287X7Z, B0DJ27QY2S, B0FN7DF9PN). Avoid "SanDisk Ultra" or "Generic Class 10 for HD Video" cards to prevent compatibility issues.

3.2 Front Camera Installation

1. Clean the Windshield: Choose a suitable location on your windshield, preferably behind the rearview mirror, to ensure an unobstructed view and avoid blocking the driver's sight. Clean the area thoroughly.
2. Apply Electrostatic Sticker: Peel off the protective film from one electrostatic sticker and apply it to the cleaned area on the windshield. Smooth out any air bubbles.
3. Attach Front Camera: Peel off the protective film from one 3M adhesive and attach it to the camera mount. Then, firmly press the camera mount onto the electrostatic sticker. Hold for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
4. Connect Power: Connect the Type-C power cable to the front camera and route the cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to the car's USB charger.

3. Attach Rear Camera: Use the remaining electrostatic sticker and 3M adhesive to attach the rear camera to the rear windshield, similar to the front camera.
4. Connect to Front Camera: Connect the rear camera to the front camera using the 5.5m rear camera extension cable. Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim.

4.3 Recording Features

• 4K Front & 1080P Rear Recording: The N5 Dual records in 3840P*2160@25fps for the front camera and 1080P for the rear camera, ensuring high-quality video capture.
• Loop Recording: When the storage space is full, the dash cam automatically overwrites the oldest videos with new ones, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention. Important videos saved by the G-sensor are protected from being overwritten.
• G-Sensor (Automatic Collision Detection): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden movements, impacts, or emergency braking and automatically saves the relevant video clip. These clips are stored in the eMMC memory and will not be overwritten, providing crucial evidence for insurance claims or legal proceedings.

4.4 Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS)

The N5 Dual is equipped with ADAS, providing intelligent voice alerts for:

• Front Vehicle Start Alert: When waiting at a traffic light, the dash cam will issue a voice reminder when the vehicle in front starts moving, ensuring you are notified immediately.
• Fatigue Driving Alert: After four hours of continuous driving, the system will remind you to take a break.

Both alerts can be independently activated or deactivated within the DDPAI app.

4.5 Parking Monitoring

The N5 Dual offers 24-hour parking monitoring with time-lapse recording and G-sensor monitoring. This feature requires a DDPAI hardwire kit (sold separately) to draw power from the car battery even when the vehicle is off. Without the hardwire kit, the camera will only record while the vehicle is running.

When you encounter a beautiful landscape or captivating moments on the road, simply say "take photo" to capture an image and create a short video (10, 20, or 30 seconds) before and after the moment. Captured files are stored separately for easy retrieval and sharing.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lenses and body. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the DDPAI app for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
• Storage Management: While loop recording manages storage, it's good practice to periodically review and back up important footage. Format the SD card (if used) every few months to maintain performance.
• Temperature: The dash cam is designed to operate reliably in extreme environments from -20°C to 70°C thanks to its super capacitor. Avoid exposing it to temperatures outside this range for prolonged periods.
