3. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your ecomoment GT801 Dash Cam:
- Prepare the Mounting Area: Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the front dash cam. Use one of the provided adhesive pads.

4. Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
The dash cam features a 2.0-inch IPS screen and physical buttons for direct control. Refer to the included Installation Guide for specific button functions.
Wi-Fi & Smart App Control
The GT801 dash cam includes built-in 2.4G Wi-Fi for seamless connection to your smartphone via the VeeCar app. This allows you to:
- View live footage from both cameras.

GPS Functionality
The integrated GPS module provides precise tracking of your driving routes. You can review your speed, location, and route history on computers and mobile devices, adding an extra layer of security and information.
Loop Recording
When the memory card reaches its full capacity, the loop recording feature automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked footage with new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention. Locked files (triggered by the G-sensor) are protected from being overwritten.
G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. Upon detection, it automatically locks and saves the current video footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This secures critical evidence in case of an incident.

24-Hour Parking Mode
For continuous surveillance when your vehicle is parked, the 24-hour parking mode utilizes a time-lapse function. If the G-sensor detects any impact or movement, it will trigger recording. Note: A hardwire kit is required for this feature to function continuously (ASIN: B0D93KLNJR, sold separately).
