2. Operating Instructions
Understand the key features and functions of your DKGEA 4-Channel Dash Cam-C10.
2.1 360° All-Around View
The dash cam features four cameras (front, rear, left, and right) that simultaneously record, providing comprehensive 360° panoramic coverage around your vehicle. This eliminates blind spots and captures events from all angles.

2.2 24-Hour Parking Mode
For continuous surveillance when parked, the dash cam offers two parking modes (requires a hardwiring kit, not included):
- Time-lapse Recording: Records continuously at 1 frame per second, conserving storage space.
- Collision Detection Mode: Automatically saves and locks a 10-second video clip upon detecting a collision or impact.

2.3 Enhanced Night Vision
Equipped with an F2.0 aperture, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, and eight infrared (IR) lights, the dash cam ensures clear video recording in various lighting conditions. WDR automatically adjusts exposure and contrast, while IR lights provide visibility in dim or dark environments.

2.4 Built-in GPS Tracking
The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's real-time location, driving speed, and route. You can review your driving history using the Viidure software to monitor habits and enhance safety awareness.

2.5 G-Sensor
The intelligent G-Sensor detects sudden impacts, collisions, or abnormal vibrations. Upon detection, it automatically activates emergency recording and locks the footage to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.

2.6 Loop Recording
The dash cam supports continuous loop recording. When the TF card's storage is full, the system automatically overwrites the oldest unprotected footage with new recordings. This ensures uninterrupted recording without manual intervention.

2.7 Wi-Fi Connectivity and App Control
The built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi allows you to connect your smartphone to the dash cam via a dedicated app. This enables faster video transfers, instant sharing of footage, and convenient review of your driving history.
3. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam.
3.1 TF Card Management
- Formatting: Regularly format the TF card (at least once a month) within the dash cam's settings to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording.
- Capacity: The dash cam supports TF cards up to 128GB. Using a high-quality, high-speed (Class 10 or U3 recommended) TF card is crucial for reliable performance.
- Replacement: TF cards have a limited lifespan. If you notice recording errors or degraded performance, consider replacing the TF card.
3.2 Cleaning the Device
- Lenses: Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lenses.
- Screen: Clean the 3-inch IPS screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the screen.
- Body: Wipe the dash cam body with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Ensure no moisture enters the ports.
3.3 Environmental Considerations
Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and component performance. Do not expose the device to direct sunlight for prolonged durations when parked.
