5. Operation

5.1 Powering On/Off

• The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on.
• It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

5.2 Basic Recording Functions

• Continuous Loop Recording: The dash cam records continuously, overwriting the oldest unlocked files when the memory card is full.
• Emergency Recording (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically trigger an emergency recording. This footage is locked and saved separately to prevent overwriting.
• Manual Emergency Recording: Press the emergency button on the dash cam to manually trigger and lock a recording of the current event.

5.3 24-Hour Parking Surveillance

To enable 24-hour parking surveillance, the 70mai UP03 Hardwire Kit (ASIN: B0C36J71VG) is required. Once installed, the dash cam will:

• Initiate time-lapse recording when the vehicle is parked.
• Detect collisions via the G-sensor and record critical events.

5.4 Using the 70mai App

Download the 70mai app from the App Store or Google Play. The app allows you to:

• Connect to the dash cam via Wi-Fi (you must be within range of the dash cam, typically inside the vehicle, and connected to its Wi-Fi network).
• View live footage from both front and rear cameras.
• Playback recorded videos.
• Download videos to your smartphone.
• Share recordings.
• Adjust dash cam settings (e.g., resolution, G-sensor sensitivity).
• Receive OTA (Over-The-Air) firmware updates.

5.5 GPS Tracking

The integrated GPS module records your driving route, speed, and coordinates. This data is embedded in the video files and can be viewed via the 70mai app, providing precise timestamped evidence.

6. Maintenance

• MicroSD Card: For continuous and reliable recording, use a High Endurance MicroSD card (U1 Class 10 or higher). Regularly format the card (e.g., monthly) through the dash cam settings to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
• Lens Cleaning: Keep the front and rear camera lenses clean from dust, dirt, and smudges to ensure clear video quality. Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check for and install firmware updates via the 70mai app to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods when the vehicle is parked, as this can affect battery life and component longevity.

7. Troubleshooting

Q: Why are recorded videos not accessible remotely via the app?

A: The 70mai app connects to the dash cam via its local Wi-Fi hotspot. You must be within range of the dash cam (typically inside the vehicle) and connected to its Wi-Fi network to view or download recordings. Remote access over the internet is not supported by this model.

Q: The rear camera footage appears dim or unclear at night.

A: Ensure the rear camera lens and your vehicle's rear windshield are clean. Moisture, dirt, or strong headlights from vehicles behind you can affect night vision performance. While the dash cam has enhanced night vision, extreme low-light conditions or glare can still impact clarity.

Q: The dash cam is not powering on or recording.

A: Check the power connection. Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into the cigarette lighter socket and the power cable is firmly connected to the dash cam. Verify that your vehicle's ignition is on. If using a hardwire kit, ensure it is correctly installed and receiving power.

Q: The dash cam frequently stops recording or shows a "card error."

A: This often indicates an issue with the MicroSD card. Ensure you are using a High Endurance card. Try formatting the card through the dash cam's settings. If the issue persists, the card may be faulty and require replacement.
