Operating Instructions
Screen Adjustment and Camera Views:
The dashcam allows you to switch between five different camera views on the 3.16-inch IPS screen for comprehensive vehicle monitoring.
- View 1: Front Camera only
- View 2: Left Interior Camera only
- View 3: Right Interior Camera only
- View 4: Rear Camera only
- View 5: All Cameras (Front + Left + Right + Rear) simultaneously
Use the navigation buttons (Up/Down) to cycle through these display modes. The "OK" button typically confirms selections or starts/stops recording depending on the mode.

Loop Recording:
The dashcam features seamless loop recording, which continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. Important videos triggered by events (like collisions) are typically locked and will not be overwritten.
- Segment Length: You can set the video segment length (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) in the settings menu.
- Accessing Files: To view recorded videos, connect the dashcam to a computer using a card reader or directly via USB (if supported for data transfer).
- Manual Lock: Press the 'M' button twice quickly to manually lock the current recording, preventing it from being overwritten.

Icons represent seamless loop recording, time-segmented file storage, support for high-capacity SD cards, and enhanced night vision capability.
Night Vision:
The dashcam is equipped with IR (Infrared) night vision technology to capture clear video and images even in low-light or nighttime conditions. This feature automatically adjusts to ensure recording quality when there is insufficient light, monitoring conditions both outside and inside the vehicle.

It compares day (normal light) and night (night vision on) recording quality, showing clearer images at night with the IR enhanced auto-adjust technology. The diagram also highlights the 480P resolution of the interior cameras and the 1080P front camera.
24-Hour Parking Monitoring:
This feature provides continuous surveillance for vehicle security, theft prevention, and collision evidence while your vehicle is parked. If the dashcam detects vibration or impact when the vehicle is off, it will automatically power on and begin recording.
Note: For 24-hour parking monitoring to function, an ACC hardwire kit is required (not included). This kit connects the dashcam directly to the vehicle's power supply, allowing it to operate even when the ignition is off. Connect the red wire of the ACC kit to the ACC port.

Icons represent theft prevention, vehicle security, collision detection (G-Sensor lock), parking mode (auto-start recording), night vision, and uninterrupted recording. It also clearly states that an ACC hardwire kit is required and not included.
Reversing Display and Parking Assistance:
When the rear camera is correctly connected and the vehicle is put into reverse, the dashcam display will automatically switch to the rear camera view. This view includes parking assistance lines to help you maneuver safely into parking spaces.
Note: This feature requires the rear camera's signal line (red wire) to be properly connected to the vehicle's reverse light power source.
