- Route the rear camera cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to the rear of the vehicle.
- Mount the rear camera in a suitable location at the back of your vehicle, typically above the license plate or on the rear window, ensuring a clear view.
- Connect the red wire of the rear camera cable to the positive terminal of your vehicle's reverse light for automatic display of the reversing image when backing up.

- Insert the other end of the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle engine starts.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The device powers on automatically with vehicle ignition. Press and hold the power button (Switch) to manually turn it on or off.
- Screen Control: The 9.66-inch IPS screen is a touchscreen. Swipe up/down on the screen to adjust the viewing angle of the camera. Swipe left/right to switch between front camera view, rear camera view, or split-screen display.
- Menu Navigation: Tap the screen to access menu options for settings, playback, and other functions.
5.2 Loop Recording Function
The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual intervention. Locked videos (triggered by G-sensor) are protected from being overwritten.

5.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. In the event of such an incident, the dash cam automatically activates emergency recording, locking the current video segment to a protected folder. This prevents the footage from being overwritten, preserving critical evidence.
5.4 Parking Monitoring
The dash cam supports 24-hour parking monitoring. When enabled, the camera will automatically start recording if it detects motion or an impact while your vehicle is parked. Note: A separate hardwire kit (not included) is required for continuous parking monitoring to provide power to the dash cam when the vehicle is off.

5.5 Night Vision and WDR
The dash cam features enhanced night vision capabilities and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. WDR balances lighting conditions, ensuring clear video recording even in low-light environments or when transitioning between bright and dark areas, such as tunnels. This improves visibility and detail capture during nighttime driving.

5.6 Adjustable Reversing Line
When the rear camera is connected to your vehicle's reverse light, the dash cam automatically displays the rear view with adjustable reversing guidelines when you shift into reverse. You can slide your finger up and down on the screen to select the position of the reversing line, with three adjustable gears to suit your preference.

5.7 Adjustable Shooting Angle
The dash cam allows for vertical adjustment of the shooting angle by swiping up and down on the touchscreen. This feature provides convenient adjustment for both driving and reversing, allowing users to customize the view according to their driving habits and preferences.
