Setup and Installation
Memory Card Installation
The DDPAI N3 Pro supports Micro SD cards up to 256GB. A Micro SD card with U3 Class 10 specification or higher is required. For optimal performance and compatibility, DDPAI brand SD cards are recommended. Avoid using 'SanDisk Ultra' or 'Generic Class 10 for HD Video' cards as they may cause compatibility issues.
- Ensure the dashcam is powered off.
- Locate the Micro SD card slot on the dashcam.
- Insert the Micro SD card into the slot until it clicks into place.
- To remove, gently push the card until it clicks out, then pull it out.
Dashcam Mounting
The N3 Pro features a discreet design and easy installation. The front camera mounts to the windshield, and the rear camera is 360° rotatable for flexible placement.
- Clean the windshield area where the dashcam will be mounted.
- Attach the 3M adhesive sticker to the dashcam mount.
- Securely attach the mount with the dashcam to the chosen spot on the windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct your view.
- Adjust the front camera angle for optimal road coverage.
- Install the rear camera in a suitable location, typically on the rear windshield, and adjust its angle.

Power Connection
- Connect the front dashcam power cable to the dashcam and then to the car charger.
- Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Connect the rear camera cable to the front dashcam and route it to the rear camera.
- For 24-hour parking monitoring, a DDPAI Hardwire Kit (ASIN: B0DJ2JVXLK or B0DJ2JQ2Z4) is required. Hardwire kits from other brands are not compatible. Without the hardwire kit, the camera will only record when the vehicle is powered on.
Operating Instructions
Automatic Recording
Once powered on, the DDPAI N3 Pro will automatically begin recording. The front camera records at 2560x1600P and the rear camera at 1920x1080P.

Loop Recording
The dashcam utilizes loop recording. When the Micro SD card reaches its capacity limit, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
Image: The DDPAI N3 Pro supports up to 512GB SD cards for loop recording, using H.265 video encoding to save 30% storage space and automatically overwriting the oldest unlocked files.
G-Sensor and Collision Lock
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts, collisions, or emergency braking. In such events, the dashcam automatically saves and locks the relevant video footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These files are marked as "important" to preserve evidence.

24-Hour Parking Monitoring
With the optional DDPAI Hardwire Kit, the N3 Pro can monitor your vehicle for 24 hours, even when the ignition is off. This feature provides continuous surveillance and records events like impacts or motion detected around your parked car.
Image: The DDPAI N3 Pro offers three parking monitoring modes: G-sensor activation, 24-hour monitoring (requires hardwire kit), and continuous loop recording.
