3.1 Installing the Main Unit

1. Clean the windshield area where the dash cam will be mounted.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the main dash cam unit.
3. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive pad on the bracket and firmly press it onto the windshield, ideally behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing your view.
4. Adjust the angle of the main camera lens to ensure it captures the road ahead clearly.

3.2 Installing the Rear Camera

1. Identify a suitable location on your rear windshield for the rear camera. Ensure it has a clear view of the rear.
2. Clean the chosen area thoroughly.
3. Attach the rear camera using its adhesive pad.
4. Route the rear camera cable from the rear camera to the main dash cam unit. Connect it to the designated port on the main unit. Ensure the cable is tucked away neatly to avoid interference with driving.

3.3 Power Connection

1. Insert the included 32GB memory card into the main dash cam unit's memory card slot. Ensure it is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.
2. Connect the power cable (car charger) to the main dash cam unit.
3. Plug the other end of the power cable into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
4. Start your vehicle. The dash cam should power on automatically.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on when the vehicle starts and power off when the vehicle is turned off (if connected to a switched power outlet). You can also manually power it on/off using the power button.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. The screen will display live views from the front, interior, and rear cameras.
• Screen Display: The screen can display all three camera views simultaneously or switch between individual views. Refer to the on-screen menu for display options.

4.2 Key Features

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
• 24-Hour Parking Mode: To enable 24-hour parking monitoring, the dash cam requires a hardwire kit (sold separately) to connect directly to the vehicle's fuse box for continuous power. In parking mode, the camera can record based on motion detection or G-sensor triggers, even when the vehicle is off.

• IR Night Vision: The interior camera is equipped with infrared (IR) lights to provide clear video recording inside the cabin even in low-light or no-light conditions. The front and rear cameras utilize advanced F/2.0 aperture and HDR technology for enhanced night vision.
