Product Features

Dual 1080P FHD Recording & Wide Angle Coverage

The dash cam features a 170° front camera and a 150° indoor camera, allowing simultaneous recording in 1080P + 1080P resolution. This dual camera system captures a wide field of view, reducing blind spots both inside and outside the vehicle, providing comprehensive video evidence.

Infrared Night Vision & HDR Technology

Equipped with a super image sensor, 6-layer lens, and HDR technology, the dash cam performs effectively in both strong and low light conditions. The interior camera includes 4 infrared lights for clear recording of occupants even in complete darkness. HDR technology ensures balanced exposure for clearer video.

G-Sensor & Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden movements, impacts, or collisions. When triggered, it locks the currently recorded video file to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording, ensuring critical evidence is preserved. It is recommended to set the G-sensor sensitivity to 'Low' to prevent excessive locking of files.

24-Hour Parking Monitoring & Motion Detection

With 24-hour parking monitoring, the dash cam automatically starts recording if a vibration is detected while the vehicle is parked and turned off. Motion detection allows the dash cam to record only when movement is detected within the recording area, saving storage space. Note: Do not activate motion detection while driving, as it can interrupt continuous recording.

Loop Recording

When the SD card reaches its full capacity, the loop recording function automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files with new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention. Locked videos (triggered by G-sensor) are protected from being overwritten and must be manually deleted if no longer needed.

Setup

Installation

1. Prepare the SD Card: Insert the included 64GB SD card into the dash cam's memory card slot. Ensure it is inserted correctly.
2. Choose Mounting Location: Select a location on your windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, that does not obstruct your view. The compact design allows for discreet placement.
3. Attach Mount: Use either the suction cup holder or the 3M adhesive mount to secure the dash cam to the windshield. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the adhesive mount. The bracket can be rotated 360 degrees for flexible positioning.
4. Connect Power: Connect the included car charger to the dash cam's Type-C USB interface and plug the other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Use the provided cable clamps and crowbar to neatly route the power cable along the vehicle's interior trim.
5. Adjust Camera Angle: Power on the dash cam and adjust the front and interior camera angles to ensure optimal recording coverage.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to power and the vehicle ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
• Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam automatically starts continuous loop recording.
• Emergency Lock: During recording, if the G-sensor detects a collision or sudden braking, the current video segment will be automatically locked and saved to a protected folder.
• Playback: Use the dash cam's display and navigation buttons to review recorded videos.

Parking Monitoring

To enable 24-hour parking monitoring, ensure the feature is activated in the dash cam's settings. When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam will enter parking monitoring mode. If a vibration or impact is detected, it will automatically wake up and record a short video clip.

Motion Detection

Motion detection can be enabled in the settings. When active, the dash cam will only record when it detects movement in its field of view. This feature is primarily for parking surveillance to save storage space. It is strongly advised not to use motion detection while driving, as it can lead to fragmented recordings.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and clear image quality, it is recommended to clean the dash cam's screen and lenses occasionally. Use a simple glasses cleaning solution and a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the lenses or screen.

Troubleshooting

• SD Card Fills Up Quickly:
  • Ensure the G-sensor sensitivity is set to 'Low'. High sensitivity can cause too many videos to be locked, filling the card.
  • Regularly manually delete locked videos that are no longer needed. Loop recording only overwrites unlocked videos.
• Interrupted Recording / Dash Cam Turns Off:
  • Do not enable motion detection while driving. This feature is designed for parking and will cause recording interruptions.
  • Ensure motion detection and automatic shutdown are not activated simultaneously, as this can cause the dash cam to frequently turn off.
• Unclear Image:
  • Clean the camera lenses and screen with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaning solution.
