Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your BOTSLAB Dash Cam:

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a spot on your windshield for the front camera that does not obstruct your view. Typically, this is behind the rearview mirror. For the rear camera, mount it on the rear windshield.
2. Clean Surface: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry before attaching the adhesive mount.
3. Attach Front Camera: Peel off the protective film from the adhesive mount and firmly press the front dash cam onto the chosen spot on the windshield. Hold for 30 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
4. Connect Power: Route the power cable neatly along the windshield edge and dashboard, using the included installation tool to tuck it into crevices. Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket and connect the charging cable to the dash cam.
5. Install Rear Camera: Attach the rear camera to the rear windshield using its adhesive mount. Connect the rear camera cable to the main front unit. Route this cable carefully to avoid interference.
6. Insert MicroSD Card: Insert the provided 64GB MicroSD card into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure it clicks into place.
7. Power On and Test: Start your vehicle. The dash cam should power on automatically and begin recording. Check the display to ensure both front and rear camera feeds are visible.

• "Take photo": Captures a still image.

• Other commands may be available; refer to the quick guide for a complete list.

• Collision-Detected Recording: Automatically initiates a 1-minute recording upon detecting a collision or impact, even when the vehicle is off.
