Product Features
4-Channel 360° Coverage
The Driveye D7 dash cam offers comprehensive 360° protection with four integrated cameras. The front and rear cameras monitor traffic and incidents, while the left and right cameras observe the vehicle's interior and side approaches. This setup is beneficial for various driving scenarios, including ride-sharing services or personal use.
For a visual demonstration of the 4-channel recording, please refer to the video below:
4K UHD Recording
The front camera records in 4K Ultra High Definition, capturing clear and detailed video. When all four channels record simultaneously, the system maintains 4K for the front camera and 1080P for the other three, ensuring high-quality footage of any road incidents.
Advanced Built-in GPS
An integrated GPS module accurately logs your driving location and speed. This data can serve as crucial evidence in case of disputes. The GPS feature can be toggled on or off as needed.
Super Night Vision
Equipped with an F1.8 large aperture, WDR technology, and 360° six-layer optics, the Driveye D7 ensures clear nighttime recordings. The front 4K lens balances exposure, while the side cameras feature 4 infrared lights each, activating infrared mode in low light for clear black-and-white video, capturing details like license plates and faces.
Hands-Free Smart Voice Control
Maintain focus on the road with 13 simple English voice commands. Easily save videos, start/stop recording, or take photos without diverting your attention. This feature enhances driving safety and convenience.

5GHz WiFi & Free App Control
The upgraded 5GHz Wi-Fi provides faster data transfer speeds (3-5 times faster than standard Wi-Fi). Connect to the free Android or iOS app for seamless control, previewing, downloading, and sharing of footage. Avoid activating VIP functions within the app as it is designed to be completely free.
24-Hour Parking Monitoring & G-Sensor
The 24-hour parking monitoring feature provides continuous surveillance. If a collision or vandalism attempt occurs while parked, all four cameras will activate and record simultaneously, offering 360° protection. This feature requires an additional hardwire kit (sold separately). The built-in G-Sensor automatically locks video footage during sudden impacts or collisions, ensuring critical evidence is secured.
Loop Recording & 128GB SD Card
The dash cam includes a 128GB Micro-SD card. Loop recording automatically overwrites the oldest footage when the card is full, in 1/3/5 minute segments, optimizing storage space and ensuring continuous recording.
Exceptional Heat Dissipation Technology
The D7 features enhanced internal cooling structures to reduce the risk of overheating, which can cause Wi-Fi disconnections and recording interruptions. This technology extends the lifespan of the dash cam and ensures reliable performance in extreme temperatures ranging from -22°F to 158°F.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Driveye D7-128G Dash Cam:
- Prepare the Windshield: Clean the area on your front windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam using the provided cleaning cloth. Ensure the surface is dry and free of dust.
- Apply Static Sticker: Carefully peel and paste one of the electrostatic stickers onto the cleaned area of the windshield. This helps protect your windshield and makes removal easier.
- Attach Dash Cam: Remove the protective film from the 3M adhesive on the dash cam mount. Firmly press the dash cam onto the electrostatic sticker on the windshield.
- Connect Power: Plug the Type-C cable into the dash cam's power port. Route the cable along the edge of the windshield and down the A-pillar, tucking it into the gaps using the provided installation tool (crowbar) and cable clips.
- Connect to Car Charger: Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the Type-C cable from the dash cam to the car charger.
- Install Rear Camera: Mount the rear camera on your rear windshield using its adhesive. Route its cable to the main dash cam unit and plug it into the designated rear camera port (CH2).
- Adjust Camera Angles: Adjust the main unit's front camera and the side cameras to your desired viewing angles. The side cameras can rotate 180 degrees.
