2.2 Mounting the Camera
Attach the dash camera to your vehicle's windshield using the adhesive mount. Position it to ensure a clear view of the road. Adjust the camera angle and secure all cables neatly to avoid obstructing your view or interfering with driving. The best mounting location is typically behind the rearview mirror.

2.3 Power Connection
Connect the car charger to the Mini USB Power Input (4) on the dash camera and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet. The camera will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle engine starts.
2.4 Rear Camera Connection
Connect the rear camera cable to the Rear Camera Connection Port (1) on the main unit. Route the cable discreetly along the vehicle's interior to the rear windshield and mount the rear camera securely.
2.5 ADAS Calibration
For optimal performance of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), calibration is required upon initial installation. If the camera is not moved after installation, re-calibration is generally not needed.
- Enter the menu list and select 'ADAS Calibration'.
- Adjust the camera's vertical position so the horizontal line on the screen aligns with the horizon.
- Adjust the camera's horizontal position so the vertical line is centered with the front of your vehicle.
- Confirm calibration and exit the menu.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Recording
The dash camera automatically starts recording when connected to power and the vehicle engine is on. It utilizes loop recording, saving videos in 3-minute segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten.
3.2 G-Sensor & Emergency Accident Lock
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such events, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. G-Sensor sensitivity can be adjusted (High, Medium, Low) or disabled in the settings menu.

3.3 Super Night Vision
Equipped with a Novatek AI chipset and high-end sensors, the camera provides enhanced night vision capabilities, allowing for clear video capture in low-light conditions.

3.4 Built-in GPS and Wi-Fi
The integrated GPS module records location and speed data, which can be viewed alongside video footage. Wi-Fi connectivity allows for wireless access to the camera via a smartphone app.

3.6 24H Parking Surveillance
For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, a separate hardwire kit is required (sold separately). This kit provides constant power to the dash camera, enabling it to detect and record events when the vehicle is parked. It features low voltage cut-off options to prevent battery drain and automatically switches to parking mode via ACC detection.

3.7 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
The DC-101 Pro ADAS includes advanced features to assist drivers and enhance safety:
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts you if the vehicle drifts out of its lane.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Warns you if you are too close to the vehicle ahead.
- Pedestrian Detection: Detects pedestrians in the vehicle's path and provides a warning.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Memory Card Care
Regularly format your MicroSD card (at least once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Always use high-quality U3 MicroSD cards from recommended brands (LEXAR, KINGSTON, Sandisk) to avoid recording issues.
4.2 Cleaning the Camera
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device.
4.3 Supercapacitor Technology
The DC-101 Pro ADAS uses a supercapacitor instead of a traditional battery, offering enhanced durability and reliability in extreme temperatures (both hot and cold). This design minimizes the risk of battery-related failures and extends the device's lifespan.

5. Troubleshooting
- Camera not powering on: Ensure the car charger is properly connected and the vehicle's 12V outlet is functioning. Check the car charger's fuse if necessary.
- Recording issues: Ensure a compatible MicroSD card is inserted and formatted. If issues persist, try a different recommended MicroSD card.
- App connection lag: Ensure your smartphone is close to the dash camera and there are no strong Wi-Fi interferences. Restarting both the camera and the phone may resolve temporary connection issues.
- Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check that the resolution settings are configured correctly in the camera menu or app.
- ADAS warnings not functioning: Verify that ADAS features are enabled in the settings and that the camera has been properly calibrated as described in Section 2.5.
- G-Sensor not triggering: Adjust the G-Sensor sensitivity setting to a higher level if minor impacts are not being detected.
