4.1 Initial Preparation
- Insert MicroSD Card: Gently insert the provided 32GB MicroSD card into the dashcam's card slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted correctly to avoid damage.
- Format MicroSD Card: For optimal performance, it is recommended to format the MicroSD card within the dashcam's settings menu upon first use and periodically thereafter.
4.2 Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your dashcam system:
- Mount the Front Camera: Attach the main dashcam unit to your vehicle's windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, using the adhesive mount or suction cup provided. Ensure it does not obstruct your view. The bracket allows for angle adjustment.
- Install the Rear Camera: Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view of the road behind. Route the rear camera cable discreetly along the vehicle's headliner and pillars to the main unit.
- Connect Power: Plug the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket) and connect the other end to the dashcam's power input (Type-C port). Route the power cable neatly to avoid interference with driving controls.
