Hardwire Kit Installation (Optional, for 24H Parking Monitoring)

For 24-hour parking monitoring, an optional hardwire kit is required. The OBD hardwire kit needs to be purchased separately or as part of a package including the OBD power cable. The location of the OBD port varies by car model, typically found beneath the steering wheel within the footwell. Locate your OBD port before proceeding with installation.

Operating Instructions

Powering On and Basic Recording

Once connected to power, the dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle starts. The 1.9-inch IPS screen will display the live video feed. Ensure the protective film is removed from the lenses for clear video quality.

Loop Recording and Emergency Lock

The dash cam continuously records. When the memory card (TF card, not included, max 256GB) is full, the oldest files are automatically deleted to make space for new recordings. In case of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect it and lock the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten.

24-Hour Parking Monitoring

With the optional hardwire kit installed, the dash cam can monitor your vehicle even when parked. It will automatically wake up and start recording if it detects a sudden vibration or impact. Upon restarting the vehicle, a voice alarm will notify you of any parking incidents.

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)

The integrated ADAS provides real-time safety alerts to assist drivers. This includes warnings for potential collisions and lane departures, helping to navigate complex road environments more safely. The system offers customizable settings for personalized driving assistance.
