Maintenance
Storage Management
The dash cam features built-in 32GB eMMC internal storage and supports an additional TF card (up to 512GB, not included). With D²Save 2.0 technology, recordings automatically switch to internal storage if the TF card is damaged or missing, ensuring critical video evidence is not lost. Regularly check and format your TF card via the app or by removing it and using a computer to maintain optimal performance.

Super Capacitor
The Z60 πlink is equipped with a super capacitor, which provides 3-4 seconds of power after a sudden power interruption (e.g., vehicle collision). This prevents critical video evidence loss and ensures reliability in extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Parking Mode Not Working: Ensure an additional hardwire kit (ASIN: B0F21Z5V7D) is correctly installed and connected.
- App Connectivity Issues: Verify Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your smartphone and the dash cam. Ensure you are connecting to the correct DDPAI device name.
- Poor Night Vision: While the dash cam features AI ISP Night Vision 3.0, ensure the camera lens is clean and unobstructed.
- Video Evidence Loss: The D²Save 2.0 technology should prevent loss due to TF card issues by switching to internal eMMC. If issues persist, check TF card health or replace it.
