4. Setup

4.1. Mounting the Dash Cam

Attach the dash cam to your windshield using the provided adhesive mount. Ensure the mount is securely fastened and the camera's view is unobstructed. The mount allows for adjustment to achieve the optimal recording angle.

4.2. Connecting Power

Connect the car charger to the dash cam's USB-C port and plug the adapter into your vehicle's 12V power outlet. Route the power cable neatly along the windshield and dashboard using the included cable clips to avoid obstructing your view.

4.3. Inserting and Formatting the SD Card

Insert the included 64GB TF card into the designated slot on the dash cam. For optimal performance, it is recommended to format the TF card within the dash cam's settings menu before first use and periodically thereafter. If formatting on a computer, ensure it is formatted to FAT32.

4.4. Rear Camera Installation

Connect the rear camera to the main dash cam unit using the provided cable. The rear camera can be easily installed without needing to remove the reversing light. Secure it in place to capture the rear view of your vehicle.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Basic Recording (Loop Recording & G-Sensor)

The dash cam automatically begins recording when powered on. It features loop recording, which overwrites the oldest unprotected files when the TF card is full. The built-in G-Sensor detects collisions or sudden movements and automatically locks the current footage to prevent it from being overwritten, serving as crucial evidence.

5.2. Wi-Fi & App Control

Connect the dash cam to your smartphone via Wi-Fi using the Viidure app (available for iOS and Android). The initial Wi-Fi password is 12345678. Through the app, you can view live footage, playback recorded videos, manage settings, download videos to your phone, and share content.

5.3. 24-Hour Parking Mode

The dash cam offers 24-hour parking monitoring with two options: low bitrate recording for continuous coverage or motion/collision detection for event-triggered recording. To enable 24-hour parking mode, the dash cam must be connected to a hardwire kit (not included) or an external battery to ensure continuous power.

5.4. Super Night Vision & WDR

Equipped with an F2.0 large aperture and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, the dash cam provides enhanced Super Night Vision. This allows for clearer video and images in low-light conditions, ensuring visibility during nighttime driving or parking.
