5.2 DVR Recording

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean camera lenses and the monitor screen with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wiring Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
• Waterproofing: Ensure all camera mounts remain sealed to prevent water ingress. Reapply sealant if necessary.
• Firmware Updates: Check the AUTO-VOX official website for any available firmware updates for improved performance.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Signal/Flickering:
  • Ensure all cameras are powered correctly.
  • Check antenna connections on both cameras and monitor.
  • Verify no large metal obstructions are blocking the wireless signal path.
  • Re-pair cameras with the monitor if necessary (refer to monitor settings).
• Monitor Not Turning On:
  • Confirm the monitor's power cable is securely connected and receiving power from the vehicle's power outlet.
  • Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on if connected to an ignition-controlled power source.
• Poor Image Quality:
  • Clean camera lenses.
  • Check for obstructions in the camera's field of view.
  • Adjust brightness/contrast settings on the monitor.
• DVR Not Recording:
  • Ensure a compatible microSD card is inserted correctly.
