4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle starts. Manage settings and view footage via the dedicated mobile application.
4.1 Mobile App and Wi-Fi Connectivity
The FUVYMYT dash cam connects to your smartphone via Wi-Fi, allowing for live preview, video download, and easy sharing through the free FUVYMYT App. The app also provides access to advanced features like GPS tracking and parking spot location.
- Download App: Search for "FUVYMYT" in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Connect Wi-Fi: Enable Wi-Fi on your smartphone and connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password typically found on the device or in the manual).

4.2 Loop Recording
The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest footage is automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual management of storage space.
4.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. Upon detection, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical incident footage is preserved.

4.4 Parking Monitor (Optional)
For 24-hour parking surveillance, an optional hardwire kit is required (ASIN: B0F53NJRK3, sold separately). When connected, the parking monitor feature enables time-lapse video recording or collision detection while your vehicle is parked, providing security even when you're away.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your FUVYMYT dash cam, refer to the following common solutions:
- Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the Y-type conversion cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's USB port. Verify the vehicle's USB port is functional.
- Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Make sure your phone's Wi-Fi is enabled and you are connecting to the correct dash cam network. If connection fails, try restarting both the dash cam (by restarting the car) and your phone.
- App Not Displaying Live View/Recordings: Confirm your phone is connected to the dash cam's Wi-Fi. Close and reopen the app. Ensure the dash cam has a properly inserted and formatted TF card.
- Footage Not Saving: Check if the TF card is inserted correctly and is not full. If full, loop recording should overwrite older files, but ensure the card is not corrupted. Try formatting the TF card via the app or a computer (this will erase all data).
- GPS Function Not Activating: The GPS function requires manual connection and activation each time for use; it does not activate automatically. Ensure you enable it within the app after connecting.
- CarPlay/Bluetooth Interference: The dash cam operates independently and should not affect CarPlay or Bluetooth functionality. If issues arise, ensure the dash cam's Wi-Fi is only connected when actively managing recordings.
- Cannot Add Rear Dash Cam: This front dash cam model does not support adding a separate rear dash cam due to PCB board differences. If a dual-channel dash cam is desired, a complete dual-channel unit must be purchased.
8. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam:
- Clean Lens: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Format TF Card: Periodically format the TF card (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and maintain optimal recording performance. Back up any important files before formatting.
- Firmware Updates: Check the FUVYMYT app or website for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and component integrity.
