1. Setup and Installation
1.1 Pre-Installation Check
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure your Toyota RAV4 (2022-2025) has a vent hole in the original front cover near the rearview mirror. This dash cam is designed for an OEM-style fit and requires this specific feature for proper installation.

2.2 Recording Modes
- Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records, overwriting the oldest footage when the memory card is full. This ensures uninterrupted recording.

2.3 Parking Monitor
The 24-hour parking monitor feature provides surveillance when your vehicle is parked. This function requires an additional hardwire kit (ASIN: B0F53NJRK3) for continuous power supply.

3. Maintenance
3.1 SD Card Management
The dash cam supports a 64GB TF card (included) and can accommodate up to a 256GB TF card. Regularly check the SD card for proper function and sufficient storage space. If you need to format the SD card, you can do so via the app settings or by performing a factory reset (see 3.2).
3.2 Resetting the Device
To reset the dash cam to its factory settings, press and hold the photo button for 10 seconds. Attention: This action will result in the formatting of the SD card, deleting all recorded data. To reset the dash cam to its default settings without formatting the SD card, press the reset button (requires a tool to press).
4. Troubleshooting
4.1 App Connection Issues
- If the app cannot show live view, preview, or fails to download videos, try turning off cellular data or Bluetooth on your phone.
- Ensure your phone is connected to the dash cam's WiFi network (named 'DVR_xxxx'). The dash cam's WiFi does not provide internet access; it is solely for video transmission.
- If issues persist, contact customer support.
4.2 General Issues
- Dash Cam Not Turning On: Check power connections. Ensure the Y-type cable is securely connected to both the power supply and the dash cam.
- Recording Not Starting: Verify that an SD card is inserted and has sufficient free space. The blue indicator light should be on when recording.
- Poor Video Quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Adjust exposure settings via the app if needed, especially in low-light conditions.
- Time Sync Issues: The camera's time should sync with your phone upon connection. If not, try reconnecting or restarting both devices.
