• Parking Monitoring: When enabled in settings, the dash cam will detect motion or impact while parked and record a short video clip. This feature requires a constant power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, not included).
• Motion Detection: When enabled, the camera will start recording when it detects movement in its field of view. This is typically used when the vehicle is stationary.

5.3 Accessing Settings and Playback

• Use the buttons on the dash cam to navigate through the menu options on the 3.16-inch screen.
• Settings typically include resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, parking monitor, motion detection, date/time, and language.
• To view recorded videos, enter playback mode via the menu. You can also remove the memory card and view footage on a computer.
• For models with wireless connectivity, download the specified mobile application (refer to packaging or on-screen prompts for app name) to connect to the dash cam via Wi-Fi for live view, playback, and settings adjustment.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Dash Cam

• Use the provided cleaning towel or a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the camera lenses and screen.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the device.

6.2 Memory Card Management

• It is recommended to format the memory card regularly (e.g., once a month) using the dash cam's menu option. This helps maintain optimal recording performance and prevents data corruption.
• Ensure important locked videos are backed up to another device before formatting.

7. Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam not powering on: Check the power connection to the vehicle's 12V outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning. Try a different USB cable or car charger if available.
• Recording stops or freezes: Format the memory card. Ensure the memory card is a high-speed (Class 10 or U1/U3) card. Replace the memory card if issues persist.
• Poor video quality: Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Check resolution settings in the menu.
• Buttons unresponsive: Try resetting the device (if a reset button/pinhole is available, use a thin object to press it).
• Parking Monitor not working: Ensure the feature is enabled in settings. Verify the dash cam is receiving constant power when the vehicle is off (requires specific wiring, not standard car charger).
• Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the dash cam and your mobile device. Restart both devices. Check the app for specific connection instructions.
