5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Firmware Updates: Check for and install firmware updates via the DDPAI app to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
- Storage Management: Periodically review and back up important footage. While loop recording manages space, manually deleting unnecessary files can free up space and reduce wear on the storage.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and component longevity.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | Check power cable connection. Ensure vehicle's power outlet is functioning. Try a different power source. |
| Recording stops unexpectedly. | Storage may be full (if loop recording is off or locked files occupy too much space). Check TF card health. Format the TF card if necessary. |
| Cannot connect to DDPAI App via WiFi. | Ensure dash cam is powered on. Check WiFi settings on your phone. Restart both the dash cam and your phone. Ensure you are connecting to the correct DDPAI WiFi network. |
| Video quality is poor or blurry. | Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Check video resolution settings in the app. |
