4. Connect Power: Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the power cable from the car charger to the front dash cam unit. Route the power cable discreetly along the vehicle's interior.

4.2 App Installation and Pairing

1. Download the DDPAI App: Search for the "DDPAI" app on your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android) and install it.
2. Power On the Dash Cam: Start your vehicle to power on the dash cam.
3. Connect via Wi-Fi: Open the DDPAI app. Follow the in-app instructions to connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network. The default Wi-Fi name and password can usually be found on the dash cam unit or in the quick start guide.
4. Initial Configuration: Once connected, the app will guide you through initial settings such as time zone, video resolution, and recording preferences.

5. Operating

5.1 Recording Modes

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in short segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest files are automatically overwritten by new recordings.
• Emergency Recording: In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the G-sensor will trigger emergency recording, locking the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten. These files are typically stored in a separate folder.
• Parking Monitoring: If enabled and properly powered (e.g., with a hardwire kit, not included with standard car charger), the dash cam can monitor your vehicle while parked, recording events like impacts or motion.

5.2 App Control

The DDPAI app provides comprehensive control over your dash cam:

• Live View: View real-time footage from both front and rear cameras on your smartphone.
• Playback: Access and play back recorded videos directly from the dash cam's memory card.
• Download: Download important video clips to your smartphone's local storage.
• Settings: Adjust various dash cam settings, including video resolution, G-sensor sensitivity, parking mode, and Wi-Fi password.

6. Maintenance

6.1 SD Card Management

• Formatting: It is recommended to format the microSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) through the dash cam's settings in the app to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
• Replacement: MicroSD cards have a limited lifespan. If you experience recording errors or data loss, consider replacing the card with a new, high-endurance microSD card.

6.2 Cleaning

Gently wipe the camera lenses and the dash cam body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device.

6.3 Firmware Updates

Periodically check the DDPAI app for available firmware updates. Firmware updates can improve performance, add new features, and fix bugs. Follow the in-app instructions carefully when performing an update.

7. Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into the vehicle's power outlet and the power cable is firmly connected to the dash cam. Check the vehicle's fuse for the power outlet.
• Recording Errors: Format the microSD card via the app. If errors persist, try a different, high-quality microSD card.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Ensure the dash cam is powered on. Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone. Verify you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network and entering the correct password.
• Poor Video Quality: Check if the camera lenses are clean. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Adjust video resolution settings in the app.
• App Not Responding: Close and reopen the app. If the issue continues, restart your smartphone.
