Installation Guide
This dash cam is designed for a custom fit and plug-and-play installation, minimizing the need for complex wiring. Ensure your vehicle model is compatible before proceeding.
1. Vehicle Compatibility Check
Before installation, confirm the dash cam's compatibility with your specific vehicle model and year. The design is tailored for Great Wall Pao, GWM Poer, Ruman, Sucan, Cannon, Ute P Series, and P-Series models from 2019 to present. Compare your car's rearview mirror area with the provided images to ensure a proper fit.

2. Power Connection (Plug and Play)
The dash cam utilizes a plug-and-play cable for power, typically connecting to existing power sources such as rain sensors or reading light panels. Some models may draw power from anti-glare mirrors, ETC reserved ports, skylights, or other dedicated plugs.

For models requiring a fuse box connection, refer to the diagram below. The fuse required is 10A. You may replace an existing fuse or connect directly to the appropriate wires:
- Black wire (GND): Connect to any metal part of the car chassis for ground.
- Red wire (ACC): Connect to a 12V source that receives power when the ignition is on (e.g., cigarette lighter, radio).
- Yellow Wire (B+): Connect to a 12V source that provides constant power, even when the car is off (e.g., for small lights, dome light).

Note: If the yellow wire loses power when the car is off, the DVR may lose its settings, including date/time.
3. Mounting the Dash Cam
The dash cam is designed for rearview mirror mounting, integrating seamlessly with the vehicle's interior. Use the provided plastic pry bar to carefully open panels if necessary for cable routing and secure fitting.

Operating Instructions
1. Initial Setup and Wi-Fi Connection
Once installed and powered, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. To access settings, view live footage, or download recordings, connect to the built-in Wi-Fi via the Viidure APP.
- Download the "Viidure" application from your smartphone's app store.
- Turn on your car engine to power the dash cam.
- On your smartphone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network. The network name and password can typically be found on the device or in the quick start guide.
- Open the Viidure APP. You can now view live footage, playback recorded videos, and adjust settings such as resolution, loop recording duration, and G-sensor sensitivity.
Note: If you experience issues with live preview, try turning off cellular data and Bluetooth on your smartphone while connected to the dash cam's Wi-Fi.
2. Recording Modes and Features
- Continuous Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest footage is automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. Supports up to 256GB memory cards.
- Emergency Accident Locks (G-Sensor): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
- High Dynamic Range (HDR): The dash cam utilizes HDR technology to improve image quality in varying light conditions, ensuring clearer recordings during the day, at night, and in challenging weather like rain.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ZhuCamX dash cam, consider the following maintenance tips:

- Lens Cleaning: Gently clean the dash cam lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or smudges that could affect video clarity. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Firmware Updates: Check the ZhuCamX official website or the Viidure APP periodically for firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance, add new features, and resolve potential issues.
