Operating Instructions
Basic Recording
- Once powered on, the dashcam automatically starts continuous loop recording.
- Video files are saved in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) on the MicroSD card.
- When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings.
WiFi and GPS Functionality
The built-in WiFi allows you to connect your smartphone to the dashcam for easy access to recordings and settings. The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's location and speed data.
- Download the dedicated dashcam application from your smartphone's app store.
- Enable WiFi on your dashcam (refer to the dashcam's on-screen menu or user interface).
- Connect your smartphone to the dashcam's WiFi network (SSID and password usually displayed on the dashcam screen).

Parking Monitor (24H Protection)
To enable 24-hour parking monitoring, a hardwire kit (sold separately) is required to provide continuous power to the dashcam when the vehicle is off. The parking monitor offers two main modes:
- G-sensor Mode: If an impact is detected while parked, the dashcam will automatically record a short, locked video segment.
- Time-lapse Mode: The dashcam records continuously at a low frame rate, compressing hours of footage into minutes, saving storage space while providing full coverage.

Front 4K and Rear 1080P Recording
The dashcam records simultaneously from both front and rear cameras, ensuring comprehensive coverage. The front camera captures footage in 4K UHD, while the rear camera records in 1080P.

Enhanced Night Vision and WDR/HDR
The dashcam incorporates advanced technology like Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) or High Dynamic Range (HDR) to improve video clarity in challenging lighting conditions, such as tunnels, bright sunlight, or at night. This ensures details are captured even in areas of extreme light and shadow.

Maintenance
- Clean the Lenses: Regularly clean the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recordings.
- MicroSD Card Management:
- Format the MicroSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and maintain optimal recording performance.
- Replace the MicroSD card if you notice any recording errors or performance degradation, as MicroSD cards have a limited lifespan.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or the companion app for available firmware updates. Keeping your dashcam's firmware updated can improve performance and add new features.
