Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to power and the vehicle ignition is turned on. It will power off shortly after the ignition is turned off. You can also manually power on/off using the power button.
• Screen Display: The 3.0-inch IPS screen displays live video feeds from all four channels simultaneously. You can switch between different display layouts via the menu options.
• Buttons: Use the 'M' (Mode) button to cycle through different modes (Video, Photo, Playback). Use the arrow buttons to navigate menus and the 'OK' button to confirm selections.

Recording Modes

• Continuous Recording: The dash cam records continuously in 3-minute segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest files are automatically overwritten by new recordings (Loop Recording).
• G-Sensor Recording: In the event of a sudden shake or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect the impact and lock the current footage, preventing it from being overwritten. These files are saved in a separate 'Event' folder.
• Parking Mode: When enabled and properly powered (via hardwire kit or external battery), the dash cam will monitor your vehicle for 24 hours. If motion or impact is detected, it will automatically start recording for 1 minute to capture the event.

Accessing Recordings

• On-Device Playback: Switch to Playback mode using the 'M' button. Use the arrow buttons to browse through recorded videos and press 'OK' to play.
• Computer Playback: Remove the TF card from the dash cam and insert it into a computer's card reader. You can then access and view the video files. Ensure your computer supports FAT32 format for the card.

Key Features

360° All-Around Protection

The GEMEK Dash Cam features four independent lenses, allowing simultaneous recording of the front, rear, left, and right sides of your vehicle. The front three lenses offer adjustable shooting angles for customized coverage. This comprehensive design eliminates blind spots, providing complete 360-degree protection.

Full HD 1080P Video Quality

Equipped with a high-performance Novatek chipset and sensor, the dash cam delivers smooth 1920*1080P (FHD) video recordings. This ensures clear and detailed footage, crucial for capturing important events on the road.

Super Night Vision

The dash cam incorporates 8 LED infrared lights and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. This combination prevents overexposure from headlights and automatically adjusts brightness in low-light conditions, ensuring crisp and clear recordings even during nighttime driving.

G-Sensor and Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. Upon detection, it locks the current video footage, protecting it from being overwritten during loop recording. These critical files are stored securely in a dedicated 'Event' folder for easy access.

Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in continuous 3-minute segments. When the memory card reaches its capacity, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings, ensuring continuous operation without manual intervention.

24-Hour Parking Mode

With the 24-hour parking mode, your vehicle remains under surveillance even when parked and turned off. The dash cam will automatically activate and record a 1-minute video if it detects motion or impact within a 3-4 meter range around the car. This feature requires a continuous power supply, typically through a hardwire kit or an external battery.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the dash cam lenses and screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings and optimal display. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Memory Card Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your memory card, it is recommended to format it once a month. This helps prevent data corruption and ensures smooth loop recording.
• Temperature: The dash cam is built to resist extreme temperatures from -4°F to 140°F. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in very hot climates can affect its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check the vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse.
• Recording Issues: If the dash cam is not recording, check if the memory card is inserted correctly and formatted to FAT32. The card might be full or corrupted; try formatting it or using a new one.
• Poor Video Quality: Clean the lenses to remove any dust or smudges. Ensure the dash cam is securely mounted and not vibrating excessively. Check the resolution settings in the menu.
• Parking Mode Not Working: Verify that the dash cam is receiving continuous power even when the vehicle is off. This typically requires a hardwire kit or an external battery, as the standard car charger usually cuts power with the ignition.
• Dash Cam Freezes/Crashes: Try resetting the device by pressing the reset button (if available) or disconnecting and reconnecting the power. Ensure the memory card is not faulty.
