4.2 Mounting the Dash Cam

The dash cam is designed for discreet mounting on your vehicle's windshield.

1. Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dash cam.
2. Attach an electrostatic sticker to the chosen area on the windshield.
3. Mount the main dash cam unit onto the electrostatic sticker using the provided bracket. Position it behind your rearview mirror to avoid obstructing your view.
4. Install the rear camera in a suitable location, typically on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view.

4.3 Wiring Options

Proper cable routing ensures a clean and secure installation.

• Cigarette Lighter Power Option: Use the included 11.5ft power supply cable and car charger. Route the cable along the edge of the windshield, tucking it into the headliner, and then down to the passenger side to connect to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
• Fuse Box Connection (for 24-Hour Parking Monitor): For continuous 24-hour parking monitoring, a dedicated Type-C hardwire kit (not included, purchased separately) is required. This kit connects to the vehicle's fuse box, providing constant power and voltage protection. It will automatically cut off power at low voltage to prevent draining the car battery.

Connect the rear camera cable from the main unit to the rear camera, routing it discreetly through the vehicle's interior.

5. Operation

5.1 Automatic Recording

Once installed and powered, the dash cam will automatically turn on and begin recording when you start your vehicle. It will automatically save footage in segments to the memory card.

5.2 Loop Recording

The dash cam features seamless loop recording. When the memory card reaches its capacity, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

5.3 G-Sensor Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, protecting it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

5.4 Night Vision

The dash cam utilizes an F1.8 large aperture lens and HDR/WDR technology to enhance video clarity in low-light conditions, ensuring important details like license plates are captured clearly at night.
