5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to the car charger and the vehicle ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off. You can also manually power it on/off using the power button.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically starts loop recording. A recording indicator will be visible on the screen.
• Menu Navigation: Use the menu buttons (Up, Down, OK, Menu) to navigate through settings and playback options on the 2.4-inch screen.

5.2 Loop Recording

The loop recording function ensures continuous video recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This prevents the need for manual deletion of old files.

5.3 24-Hour Parking Monitor & G-Sensor

When the parking monitor function is enabled (requires a hardwire kit for continuous power), the dash cam will monitor your vehicle's surroundings even when parked. The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or vibrations. Upon detection, it automatically records a short video segment and locks it to a special emergency file folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.

5.4 Night Vision with WDR/HDR

The dash cam incorporates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) technologies, along with 8 IR lamps, to enhance video clarity in low-light conditions. This ensures that details are captured effectively during nighttime driving or in dimly lit environments.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lenses and screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Memory Card: Periodically format the SD card (e.g., once a month) within the dash cam's settings to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important files before formatting.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and component longevity.

8. Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into both the dash cam and the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
  • Check if the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is receiving power. Test with another device if possible.
  • Verify the car charger cable is not damaged.
• Recording Issues (e.g., "Card Full" error):
  • Format the SD card regularly through the dash cam's settings menu.
  • Ensure loop recording is enabled in the settings.
  • Check if too many emergency (locked) videos are accumulating. Delete unnecessary locked files.
  • Try using a different, high-quality SD card (Class 10 or higher, U3 recommended).
• Poor Video Quality:
  • Clean the camera lenses to remove any dirt or smudges.
  • Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses.
  • Check video resolution settings in the menu; ensure it's set to the highest available.
• G-Sensor Too Sensitive/Not Sensitive Enough:
  • Adjust the G-sensor sensitivity level in the dash cam's settings. Lower sensitivity for fewer false triggers, higher for more detection.
• Rear Camera Not Displaying:
  • Ensure the rear camera cable is securely connected to both the rear camera and the main DVR unit.
  • Check for any damage to the rear camera cable.
