3. Setup and Installation
3.1. MicroSD Card Insertion
The 64GB MicroSD card is typically pre-inserted. If not, ensure the dash camera is powered off before inserting the MicroSD card into the designated slot. Use a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) MicroSD card, up to 256GB, for optimal performance.
3.2. Mounting the Front Dash Cam
- Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dash cam.
- Attach the suction cup mount to the dash cam.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield, ideally near the rearview mirror, and secure it.
- Adjust the camera angle to ensure a clear view of the road ahead.
3.3. Installing the Rear Camera
- Connect the rear camera to the main dash cam unit using the provided rear camera cable.
- Route the rear camera cable discreetly along the headliner and trim to the rear of the vehicle.
- Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield using its adhesive or screws, ensuring a clear view.
- Adjust the rear camera angle as needed.
3.4. Power Connection
- Connect the car charger cable to the dash cam's power input (Type-C).
- Plug the other end of the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Route the power cable neatly to avoid obstructing your view or driving.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off
The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
4.2. Loop Recording
The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.3. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files serve as critical evidence.

4.4. 24-Hour Parking Monitor
When enabled, the parking monitor feature allows the dash cam to continue recording even when your vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. It can use G-sensor triggers or time-lapse recording to capture events.
- G-Sensor Triggered Recording: The camera will automatically start recording if an impact is detected while parked.
- Time-Lapse Recording: Records continuously at a low frame rate, condensing long periods into short videos.
Note: A hardwire kit is required for the 24-hour parking monitor feature to function continuously. This kit is not included and must be purchased separately.

- View live footage.
