Dnil 3-Inch HD 1080P Dash Cam User Manual

Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Dnil 3-Inch HD 1080P Dash Cam. Please read this manual carefully before using the device to ensure proper functionality and to maximize your driving security experience.

Product Features

• Super Night Vision: The dash cam is equipped with an invisible far-infrared night vision fill light. This feature can be toggled on or off by a short press of the power button while in recording mode, ensuring clear footage in low-light conditions.
• 170° Ultra-wide Viewing Angle: The wide-angle lens captures a broad field of view, easily covering three lanes of traffic. This ensures that images on both sides of your vehicle are clearly visible, providing extensive coverage.
• Collision Emergency Lock (G-sensor): A built-in G-sensor system automatically detects sudden vibrations or collisions. In such events, it saves and locks the current footage, preventing it from being overwritten. This preserves critical evidence from the scene.
• High-Definition Night Vision Recording: Featuring a six-layer glass lens, the dash cam records clear video even at night or on cloudy days. It is designed to capture license plate details and accurately recreate scenes, providing high-definition video evidence for your driving experience. Note: The lens is protected by a film; remove it before use if scratches are observed on the film.
• 3-Inch HD Screen: The integrated 3-inch HD screen provides a clear picture and smooth video playback directly on the device.

Setup Instructions

3. Power Connection

Connect the dash cam to your vehicle's power supply using the provided car charger.

1. Plug one end of the car charger into the dash cam's power input port.
2. Plug the other end of the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
3. Route the power cable neatly along the edges of your dashboard and windshield to avoid obstructing your view or interfering with driving controls.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

• The dash cam typically powers on automatically when your vehicle starts and receives power.
• To manually power on/off, press and hold the power button for a few seconds.

2. Recording Modes

The dash cam supports continuous loop recording and motion detection.

• Loop Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked footage will be overwritten by new recordings.
• Motion Detection: This feature allows the dash cam to start recording automatically when motion is detected in front of the vehicle. This is typically used when the vehicle is parked. Refer to the dash cam's on-screen menu for activation and sensitivity settings.

3. Night Vision Activation

The dash cam features a Super Night Vision function for enhanced low-light recording.

• While the dash cam is in recording mode, a short press of the power button will toggle the invisible far-infrared night vision fill light on or off.
• Ensure this feature is active for optimal video clarity in dark environments.

4. Collision Emergency Lock (G-sensor)

The built-in G-sensor protects important footage during incidents.

• In the event of a sudden impact or vibration, the G-sensor automatically triggers, saving the current video segment to a protected folder.
• This locked footage will not be overwritten by loop recording, preserving it as evidence.
• The sensitivity of the G-sensor can usually be adjusted in the dash cam's settings menu.

Maintenance

1. Lens Cleaning

To ensure clear video quality, regularly clean the dash cam lens.

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber cloth, to gently wipe the lens.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the lens coating.
• If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with lens cleaning solution or water.

2. Micro SD Card Management

Proper SD card maintenance is crucial for reliable recording.

• Formatting: Format the Micro SD card within the dash cam's settings menu at least once a month. This helps prevent data corruption and ensures smooth operation.
• Card Replacement: Micro SD cards have a limited lifespan due to continuous overwriting. If you experience recording errors or corrupted files, consider replacing the card.
• Storage: Always eject the SD card safely through the dash cam's menu before physically removing it to prevent data loss.
