3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Basic Recording

The WECOOL Dash Cam features synchronized three-channel recording: a 4K Ultra HD front camera, a 1080P Full HD interior camera, and a 1080P Full HD rear camera. Once powered on, the device automatically begins continuous loop recording.

3.2 G-Sensor Emergency Lock

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it locks the current video footage to a protected folder on the MicroSD card, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

3.3 Loop Recording

The loop recording feature ensures continuous recording. When the MicroSD card is full, the dash cam automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files. Locked files (from G-sensor events) are protected and will not be overwritten.

3.4 5GHz WiFi & App Control

The dash cam features built-in 5GHz WiFi for faster data transfer and seamless app control. Download the dedicated app to your smartphone to:

• Preview live video footage.
• Download recorded videos to your phone (up to 8MB/s transfer speed).
• Adjust camera settings.
• Share travel highlights directly to social media.

Note: The effective WiFi range is approximately 3-5 meters.

3.5 24/7 Parking Surveillance

When your vehicle is parked, the dash cam can continuously monitor its surroundings for theft or vandalism, providing 24/7 security. This feature requires a separately purchased Type-C hardwiring kit for continuous power supply.

3.6 Superior Night Vision with WDR Technology

Equipped with an F1.6 aperture, 6 high-performance glass lenses, and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, this dash cam optimizes recording in low-light conditions. WDR balances bright and dark areas, resulting in clear, high-contrast footage even at night.

3.7 470° Ultra-Wide Angle All-Round Protection

The dash cam provides extensive coverage with a 170° ultra-wide front lens, a 150° wide-angle rear lens, and a 150° interior wide-angle lens. This combined 470° field of view minimizes blind spots and captures comprehensive details around and within your vehicle.

4. Maintenance

4.1 SD Card Management

• Formatting: It is recommended to format the MicroSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's menu settings.
• Capacity: The included 64GB card is sufficient for many users, but the dash cam supports cards up to 256GB for extended recording time.

4.2 Cleaning

• Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Clean the dash cam body with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

4.3 Temperature Tolerance

The dash cam is designed to withstand extreme temperatures from -4°F (-20°C) to 158°F (70°C), ensuring reliable performance in various climates. Its high-strength aluminum alloy housing aids in heat dissipation.
