Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

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

2. Basic Recording Functions

• Loop Recording: The dash cam employs seamless loop recording, automatically overwriting the oldest non-event footage to ensure continuous recording. The pre-installed 128GB memory card provides ample storage.
• G-Sensor: The built-in G-Sensor automatically detects sudden shakes or collisions. Upon detection, it locks the current video footage (5 seconds before and 15 seconds after the event) to prevent it from being overwritten, serving as crucial evidence.
• Super WDR Night Vision: Featuring advanced WDR technology, a wide F1.55 aperture, and 4 infrared lights, the dash cam captures sharp, detailed footage in low-light or complete darkness across all 4 channels.

3. Parking Mode (24/7 Monitoring)

To enable 24/7 parking mode, an optional hardwiring kit (ASIN: B0F8HJPVZP) is required. When parked and connected via the hardwiring kit, the dash cam offers two smart functions:

• Collision Detection: Triggers recording and locks footage upon impact.
• Time-Lapse Recording: Captures one frame per second, providing continuous surveillance while saving storage space.

4. Smart Voice Control

Operate the dash cam hands-free using 13 voice commands for safer driving. Examples include:

• "Turn off recording"
• "Lock the video"
• "Show all camera"
• "Show front camera"
• "Open recording"
• "Turn on Wi-Fi"
• "Show rear camera"
• "Show left camera"

5. 5.8GHz WiFi & APP Control

Connect your smartphone to the dash cam via 5.8GHz/2.4GHz dual-band Wi-Fi for fast and stable access to live view, playback, and settings through the dedicated app.

6. Built-in GPS Logger

The integrated GPS tracker accurately records your driving route, location, and speed, embedding this data directly onto the video footage for reliable evidence.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
• SD Card Management: It is recommended to format the microSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's settings menu.
• Firmware Updates: Check the VIRROW official website for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Temperature: The dash cam is designed to operate in a wide temperature range (-4°F to 158°F) thanks to its supercapacitor. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures when possible.

Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the car's power source.
  • Verify that the car's cigarette lighter socket is functioning.
