4.1 Basic Operation

4.2 Loop Recording

The Miden S7 continuously records video in segments. When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention. Locked videos (protected by G-Sensor or manual lock) will not be overwritten.

4.3 G-Sensor and Accident Lock

The built-in 3-axis G-sensor detects sudden movements or impacts. In the event of a collision, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock a video segment by pressing the designated lock button during recording.

4.4 24-Hour Parking Monitor

When enabled, the parking monitor feature provides continuous protection for your vehicle. If the dash cam detects vibration or impact while the car is parked and the ignition is off, it will automatically power on and begin recording. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, sold separately) for 24-hour monitoring.

4.5 Night Vision and WDR

The Miden S7 features a large f1.5 aperture, a 1/2.7'' CMOS image sensor, and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. These features enhance color accuracy and clarity, allowing the dash cam to capture clear details, such as license plates, in both daytime and low-light night driving conditions.

4.6 Reversing Image Assist

When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the dash cam automatically displays the rear camera's view on the screen, often with parking guidelines. This assists drivers in safely parking and reversing.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Formatting the SD Card

It is recommended to format the Micro SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can typically be done through the dash cam's menu settings.

5.2 Cleaning the Dash Cam

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Dash Cam Not Powering On

• Ensure the car charger is properly connected to both the vehicle's power outlet and the dash cam.
• Check if the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is functioning.
• Try a different charging cable or car charger if available.

6.2 Recording Issues

• SD Card Error: Format the SD card through the dash cam's menu. If the issue persists, try a different high-speed Micro SD card.
• Intermittent Recording: Ensure loop recording is enabled and the G-sensor sensitivity is not set too high, which could cause frequent locking of files and fill the card prematurely.
• Poor Video Quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check video resolution settings in the menu.
