Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Driver fatigue alerts are also provided every 2 hours to promote safe driving habits.

1. Prepare the Windshield: Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam. Ensure it is free of dust and grease.
2. Apply Static Sticker: Apply the provided static sticker to the cleaned area of the windshield. This allows for clean removal without residue.
3. Mount the Front Camera: Attach the front dash cam to the static sticker. Ensure the lens has a clear view of the road ahead and is not obstructed by wipers or tinting.

5. Connect Power: Connect the car charger to the front dash cam and plug it into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. For 24/7 parking mode, install the dedicated hardwire kit (sold separately) according to its instructions.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (if connected to a switched power source). It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
• Recording: Continuous loop recording will start automatically. Older files will be overwritten by new ones when the memory card is full, unless they are locked.
• Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten.

Using the Mobile App

Download the BOTSLAB app from your smartphone's app store. Connect to the dash cam via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to:

• View live footage from both cameras.
• Access and download recorded videos.
• Adjust settings (e.g., video resolution, G-Sensor sensitivity, parking mode).
• View GPS tracking data and driving routes.

ADAS Features

The ADAS system provides audible and visual alerts for:

• Front Vehicle Starts Moving: Alerts you when the vehicle in front of you starts moving after a stop.
• Pedestrian Collision Warning: Warns of potential collisions with pedestrians.
• Headway Monitoring Warning: Alerts if you are following the vehicle ahead too closely.
• Lane Departure Warning: Notifies you if you drift out of your lane without signaling.
• Driver Fatigue Alert: Prompts you to take a break every 2 hours of continuous driving.

Maintenance

• Clean Lenses: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Memory Card Management: Format the MicroSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) through the dash cam's settings to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up important files before formatting.
