4.2 Key Features

4.2.1 4-Camera 360° Coverage

The dashcam features four cameras: one 1080P front camera and three 480P cameras for the rear, left, and right sides, as well as the interior. This setup ensures a 360-degree view, minimizing blind spots and providing extensive recording coverage. The angles of the three secondary lenses can be adjusted to capture specific details as needed.

4.2.2 Super Night Vision

Image: Super Night Vision. This image compares video quality with and without IR LEDs, demonstrating the enhanced clarity provided by the 8 IR LEDs for both exterior and interior views during low-light conditions.

Equipped with 8 infrared (IR) LEDs, this dashcam provides clear video and images even in low-light or nighttime conditions. This ensures that road conditions, license plates, and interior activities are clearly visible, enhancing safety during night driving.

4.2.3 Loop Recording

Image: Loop Video. This image visually represents the continuous recording feature, where older footage is overwritten by new footage once the memory card is full, ensuring uninterrupted recording.

The dashcam records video in a continuous loop. When the TF card reaches its storage limit, the oldest unlocked footage is automatically overwritten by new recordings. Important videos, such as those triggered by the G-sensor (impact detection), are locked and will not be overwritten.

4.2.4 24-Hour Parking Monitor

Image: 24h Parking Monitor. This image depicts a car in a parking garage with a glowing shield effect, symbolizing the continuous protection offered by the 24-hour parking monitor feature.

When enabled, the 24-hour parking monitor feature allows the dashcam to automatically turn on and record video if it detects vibrations or impacts while your car is parked. This provides surveillance even when the vehicle is off. Note: This function requires a continuous power supply, which may necessitate an additional car voltage reduction line (hardwire kit), not included in the standard package.

4.2.5 Reverse Assist

When the rear camera is properly connected and the vehicle is put into reverse gear, the dashcam display will automatically switch to the rear camera view, showing parking guidelines to assist you in safe maneuvering.

5. Maintenance

• Clean Lenses: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recording quality.
• Check TF Card: Periodically check the TF card for errors or corruption. It is recommended to format the TF card every 1-2 months to maintain optimal performance and prevent data loss.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates to improve performance and add new features.
• Operating Temperature: Avoid exposing the dashcam to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and device performance.

6. Troubleshooting

Q: The dashcam does not turn on.

A: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dashcam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check if the vehicle's power outlet is functioning. Try a different power source if available.

Q: The dashcam does not record or shows a "TF card error".

A: Ensure you are using a high-speed Class 10 (C10) TF card. The maximum supported capacity is 64GB. Format the TF card within the dashcam's settings menu. If the issue persists, try a different TF card.

Q: The video quality is poor, especially at night.

A: Ensure all camera lenses are clean and free from dirt or smudges. Verify that the night vision feature is enabled in the settings. For optimal night vision, ensure no obstructions block the IR LEDs.

Q: The dashcam's battery life is very short when unplugged.

A: The internal battery is primarily for emergency power-off and short parking monitor events. For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, an additional hardwire kit (car voltage reduction line) is required to provide constant power from the car battery.

Q: The dashcam freezes or malfunctions.

A: Try pressing the reset button (usually a small pinhole) with a thin object. If the problem persists, try formatting the TF card and restoring factory settings through the menu.
