Installation & Powering On/Off

For optimal performance, install the AUKEY DR01 in the top-center of your windshield, facing directly ahead. Use the cable clips to help fix the power cable conveniently and safely like in the picture below.

Caution:
We are not responsible for any damage caused to or by the air bag due to incorrect placement of the device or its cable.

To power on, insert the car charger into your car’s 12V socket, then connect the included cable to the car charger and to the Mini USB port of the DR01. Insert a Micro SD Card into the Micro SD card slot and format it using the ‘Format’ option in Dash Camera ‘Setup.’ After powering on each time, the system will start recording automatically. To power off, disconnect the Mini USB cable.

Video Recording

• Loop Recording: Recording will begin automatically after powering on with a Micro SD Card in the device. Each recorded file is up to ten minutes long, with old footage being replaced when Micro SD Card storage is full.
• Motion Detection Recording: Switch on motion detection in ‘Setup.’ This function will start recording video when the dash camera detects motion in front and stop recording when motion is no longer detected.
• Time-Lapse Recording: Switch on time-lapse recording in ‘Setup.’ This function will capture a picture per second to make a video played at 30fps.
