- The dashcam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on.
3.4 Inserting the SD Card
A 64GB high-speed SD card is pre-installed. If you need to replace or re-insert it:
- Ensure the dashcam is powered off.
- Locate the SD card slot on the dashcam unit.
- Insert the SD card with the contacts facing the correct direction until it clicks into place.
- Upon first use or after replacing the card, it is recommended to format the SD card via the dashcam's settings menu to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power On/Off
- Automatic: The dashcam powers on and begins recording automatically when connected to power and the vehicle's ignition is on. It powers off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
- Manual: Press and hold the power button (if available) to manually turn the unit on or off.
4.2 Recording Modes
- Continuous Loop Recording: The dashcam records continuously in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the SD card is full, the oldest files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording.

- G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, the current recording segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
- Parking Surveillance: When the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dashcam can enter parking surveillance mode. Using its high-sensitivity G-sensor, it will automatically activate and record if motion or impact is detected, providing 24/7 protection.

4.3 Night Vision and HDR
The dashcam is equipped with advanced night vision technology and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) processing to ensure clear recordings in low-light conditions and bright environments.

4.4 GPS Tracking
The built-in GPS module tracks your vehicle's journey, including accurate location and speed data. This information is embedded in the video files and can be viewed using compatible playback software on a computer.
4.5 Viewing Footage
- On-Device Playback: Use the dashcam's display and control buttons to navigate through recorded files and play them back directly on the unit.
- Computer Playback: Remove the SD card and insert it into a computer's card reader. Use a compatible media player or the recommended dashcam software (if provided by the manufacturer) to view videos, including GPS data.

4.6 Reversing Camera Function
When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the dashcam automatically switches to a full-screen display of the rear camera view, often with parking guidelines, to assist with safe reversing.

5. Maintenance
5.1 SD Card Management
- Formatting: It is recommended to format the SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) through the dashcam's settings menu. This helps maintain card health and prevents data corruption.
- Replacement: SD cards have a limited lifespan. If you experience frequent recording errors or corrupted files, consider replacing the SD card with a new high-speed, reputable brand card.
5.2 Cleaning the Lenses
Periodically clean the camera lenses (front, rear, and side) with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the lens surface.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your dashcam, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dashcam randomly turns off or does not power on. | Loose power connection, faulty power adapter, insufficient power supply. | Ensure the car power adapter is securely plugged into both the dashcam and the vehicle's 12V outlet. Test the power adapter in another vehicle or with another compatible device if possible. Check vehicle's 12V outlet for power. |
| "SD Card Error" or "Please Format SD Card" message. | SD card not inserted correctly, corrupted, or incompatible. | Ensure the SD card is inserted correctly. Format the SD card via the dashcam's settings menu. If the issue persists, try a different high-speed (Class 10 or U3) SD card from a reputable brand. |
| Poor video quality or blurry images. | Dirty lens, protective film still on lens, incorrect resolution settings. | Clean the camera lenses with a soft cloth. Remove any protective film from the lenses. Check the video resolution settings in the dashcam menu and ensure they are set to the highest available (e.g., 4K for front, 1080P for others). |
| GPS not tracking location/speed. | Poor GPS signal, dashcam not positioned correctly. | Ensure the dashcam has a clear view of the sky (not obstructed by metallic tints or other devices). Allow a few minutes for the GPS to acquire a signal after powering on. |
| Loop recording not working / SD card fills up. | Too many locked files, SD card error, or card capacity issue. | Manually delete unnecessary locked files. Format the SD card. Ensure the SD card is genuine and has sufficient capacity (64GB included, supports up to 64GB as per image). |
