Setup and Installation
1. Mounting the Mirror Monitor
The R10-SPL offers two primary mounting options: a mirror replacement mount for a permanent installation or straps for attaching over your existing rearview mirror.
Using the Mirror Replacement Mount:
This method provides a more integrated and factory-like appearance. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.

Using the Strap-on Method:
Secure the monitor over your existing rearview mirror using the provided adjustable straps. Ensure the monitor is firmly attached and does not obstruct your view or interfere with vehicle controls.

2. Connecting the Rear Camera
Mount the IP67 waterproof rear camera at the rear of your vehicle, typically above the license plate or near the trunk handle. Route the camera cable discreetly to the main mirror monitor unit. The system features a one-wire installation for simplified wiring, connecting the rear camera to the monitor.

3. Power Connection (Hardwire Kit)
Use the included hardwire kit to connect the monitor to your vehicle's power supply. This connection is essential for enabling features such as 24-hour parking monitoring. Ensure proper connection to constant and accessory power sources, and a reliable ground point, following the hardwire kit's specific instructions.
4. Micro SD Card Insertion
Insert a compatible Micro SD card (up to 256GB, not included) into the designated slot on the monitor. The device requires a Micro SD card for recording and storing footage. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.
5. Optional GPS Antenna (GPS-001)
If you are using the optional GPS-001 antenna, connect it to the designated port on the monitor. Mount the antenna in a location with a clear view of the sky, such as on the dashboard or near the windshield, for accurate signal reception and GPS functionality.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
The monitor will typically power on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on and power is supplied. To manually power off the device, press and hold the power button (refer to the product diagram for exact location, usually on the bottom edge of the mirror).
2. Touchscreen Interface
Navigate the device's functions and settings using the responsive 10-inch touchscreen. Swipe gestures and taps are used to access menus, switch camera views, and adjust various parameters.
3. Camera View Switching
Tap the screen to cycle through different camera views: front camera only, rear camera only, or a split-screen display showing both simultaneously. This allows you to select the most suitable view for your driving situation.
4. Recording Functions
- Loop Recording: The device continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the Micro SD card reaches its capacity, the oldest unprotected files are automatically overwritten to ensure continuous recording.
- G-Sensor: In the event of a sudden impact, collision, or abrupt braking, the built-in G-Sensor detects the event and automatically locks the current video file. This prevents the critical footage from being overwritten, preserving it as evidence.
- Parking Monitoring: When the vehicle is parked and the hardwire kit is correctly installed, the monitor can detect impacts or motion around the vehicle. Upon detection, it will automatically begin recording, providing 24-hour surveillance and security.
5. Playback
Access the playback menu on the touchscreen to review recorded video files from both the front and rear cameras. Files are typically organized by date and time, allowing for easy navigation and review of specific events.
6. Settings Adjustment
Through the touchscreen menu, you can adjust various device settings. These include video resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, parking monitoring settings, date/time, display brightness, and other system preferences.
7. Assistant Parking Line
When the vehicle is in reverse gear, the rear camera display will automatically show dynamic parking lines. These lines assist with parking maneuvers by providing visual guidance. The calibration of these lines can often be adjusted via the settings menu.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Display
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the touchscreen display. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based solutions, or solvents, as these can damage the screen coating.
2. Cleaning Camera Lenses
Ensure the front and rear camera lenses are clean and free from dirt, dust, or smudges for optimal video quality. Use a soft cloth, possibly dampened with a specialized lens cleaner if necessary. Avoid scratching the lens surface.
3. Micro SD Card Management
To maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption, it is recommended to periodically format the Micro SD card (at least once a month) through the device's settings. Always back up any important recordings before formatting.
4. Firmware Updates
Check the official Rydeen website for any available firmware updates for your R10-SPL device. Follow the instructions provided with the update package carefully to ensure proper installation and to benefit from new features or performance improvements.
