4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the dash cam's performance and your safety. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1 Mounting the Dash Cam
- Choose a location on your windshield that does not obstruct your view of the road. Typically, this is behind the rearview mirror.
- Clean the windshield surface thoroughly before attaching the mounting bracket.
- Attach the dash cam to the mounting bracket and secure it to the windshield.
- Adjust the lens angle to ensure it captures the road ahead clearly.
4.2 Wiring Connection
The Q6 Dash Cam uses an ACC hardwire kit for power, enabling 24-hour parking monitoring. It requires connection to your vehicle's fuse box.
Figure 4.1: Wiring diagram for the Q6 Dash Cam. Connect the red wire to an ACC fuse, the yellow wire to a constant BAT+ fuse, and the black wire to a metal ground point.
Important Safety Note: Before connecting the hardwire kit, ensure the engine is off. Disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery to prevent short circuit accidents. If you are unsure about electrical wiring, consult a professional.
- Connect Power Cord: Plug the USB-C end of the power cord into the dash cam.
- Identify Fuse Box: Locate your vehicle's fuse box (refer to your vehicle's owner's manual).
- ACC Connection (Red Wire): Connect the red ignition cord (ACC) to a fuse that is only powered when the ignition is on. This ensures the dash cam powers on and off with your vehicle.
- Battery Connection (Yellow Wire): Connect the yellow battery cord (BAT+) to a fuse that has constant power, even when the ignition is off. This is essential for 24-hour parking monitoring.
- Ground Connection (Black Wire): Connect the black earth cord to a metal part of the vehicle's chassis or fuse box that serves as a ground point.
- Route Cables: Carefully route the power cable along the windshield trim and under the dashboard to keep it tidy and out of the way.
- Reconnect Battery: Once all connections are secure, reconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery.
5. Operation
5.1 Powering On/Off
- Power On: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (if connected to an ACC power source).
- Power Off: The dash cam will automatically power off shortly after your vehicle's ignition is turned off.
5.2 Basic Recording
Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically start continuous loop recording. Video segments are typically saved in short intervals (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) to the inserted memory card.
- Loop Recording: When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be overwritten by new recordings.
- Emergency Recording: In case of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will trigger an emergency recording, locking the current video file to prevent it from being overwritten.
5.3 24-Hour Parking Monitoring
With the hardwire kit properly installed, the dash cam can monitor your vehicle even when parked.
Figure 5.1: The 24-hour parking surveillance feature automatically records if abnormal vibration is detected when the vehicle is off.
- Activation: The parking monitoring function activates automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned off.
- Event Detection: If the dash cam detects abnormal vibration or impact while parked, it will automatically start recording to capture the event.
