Setup
1. Installation
Choose a suitable location on your windshield for the front dash cam, typically behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing your view. Clean the windshield thoroughly before applying the electrostatic film and then attaching the mounting bracket with its 3M adhesive. Connect the front camera to the bracket. Route the power cable neatly along the windshield edge and down to your car's USB power outlet or cigarette lighter. For the rear camera, mount it on your rear window and connect it to the front camera using the provided 6M rear cam cable. Use the cable prying tool to tuck away cables for a clean installation.

2. MicroSD Card Insertion
The dash cam supports microSD cards from 32GB to 512GB. A Class 10/U3 or higher speed rating is recommended for optimal recording performance. Insert the microSD card into the designated slot on the dash cam until it clicks into place. Note: The microSD card is not included and must be purchased separately. Avoid using SanDisk and Samsung cards due to potential incompatibilities.

3. App Download and Connection
Download the Miofive app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Once installed, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your dash cam via Wi-Fi. This allows you to view live footage, download recordings, and adjust settings directly from your smartphone. The app also supports over-the-air firmware upgrades.
Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS tracking with app control.
Operating
1. Loop Recording
The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the microSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Emergency videos triggered by the G-sensor are protected from being overwritten.
Seamless loop recording functionality.
2. G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. In the event of a collision, the G-sensor automatically locks the current video segment, saving it to a protected folder (EMER) to prevent it from being overwritten. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.
G-sensor automatically locks footage during sudden impacts.
3. Parking Monitor & Time-Lapse Mode
For 24/7 parking surveillance, the dash cam requires connection to the Miofive USB Type-C Hardwire Kit (ASIN: B0CRHJQ3WQ, sold separately). When a collision is detected while parked, the G-sensor activates the camera to record a 1-minute video. Time-lapse mode records footage at a lower frame rate, saving storage space while monitoring surroundings. A hardwire kit is essential for these modes to prevent draining your car's battery.
24-hour parking monitor requires a separate hardwire kit.
4. GPS Tracking
The built-in GPS module accurately records your driving location, route, and speed. This data is embedded directly into the video footage and can be viewed in detail via the Miofive App, providing valuable context for your recordings.
5. Night Vision
The dash cam features enhanced night vision capabilities to capture clear and detailed footage even in low-light conditions, improving visibility during nighttime driving or parking surveillance.
Super Night Vision for clear recordings in low-light environments.
Maintenance
1. MicroSD Card Management
Regularly format your microSD card (at least once a month) through the Miofive app or directly on the dash cam to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important videos before formatting.
2. Cleaning
Use the provided wiping cloth or a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and the dash cam body. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device.
Troubleshooting
- Dash cam not turning on: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the car's power source. Check the car's power outlet for functionality.
- MicroSD card error/slow card message: Ensure you are using a Class 10/U3 or higher speed microSD card. Format the card regularly. If the issue persists, try a different compatible microSD card.
- App connection issues: Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on your smartphone and you are connected to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network. Restart both the dash cam and your phone. Note that some phones may not allow simultaneous connection to the dash cam's Wi-Fi and your car's Bluetooth for media streaming.
- Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check that the protective film has been removed from the lens. Verify that the resolution settings in the app are set to the desired quality (2K front, 1080P rear).
- Parking monitor not working: Confirm that the Miofive USB Type-C Hardwire Kit (sold separately) is correctly installed and connected. The parking monitor function requires this kit for continuous power.
