Installation

1. Install the electrostatic sticker

Park your car in a safe area and turn off the engine. Apply the electrostatic sticker to the recommended area on the windshield, as shown in the figure. Clean the windshield and remove any air bubbles between the sticker and the glass.

ℹ️ Note: Do not attach the dash cam with the sticker to the windshield before camera calibration to ensure the AI feature works properly.

2. Connect the power supply

Connect the USB cable to the micro USB port of the Dash Cam. Route the cable along the edge of the windshield, tucking it into seams (using the included Crowbar), and run it to the car charger. Ensure the cable is kept away from the airbag area.

Insert the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket and connect the Dash Cam to the car charger.

3. Camera Calibration

Find a suitable position and angle for the dash cam. Start the car engine (do not install while driving) to power on the device. Navigate to System Settings → AI → Camera calibration. Align the vertical line to the center of the road and the horizontal line to the vanishing point of the road on the preview screen. Ensure the dash cam does not obstruct the driver's view.

Diagram description: Three calibration views. The first shows a correct alignment with a green checkmark, indicating the vertical line is centered and the horizontal line aligns with the road's vanishing point. The second and third diagrams show incorrect alignments with red 'X' marks: one where the horizontal line is too low, and another where the camera is tilted. A fourth diagram shows the engine cover obstructing the view.

ℹ️ Note: AI accuracy is significantly affected by the installation position. Please install carefully.

4. Attach the Dash Cam

Remove the protective sticker from the dash cam bracket. Attach the dash cam to the center of the electrostatic sticker (the 'sweet spot' identified in step 3). Press the bracket mount firmly to ensure the heat-resistant adhesive makes good contact. Lock the bracket to the dash cam; you should hear a click when it's in place.

5. Check and adjust the dash cam angle

Ensure the dash cam is installed at the correct angle as determined in step 3. Adjust the camera angle up or down as needed, using the preview screen to confirm the camera is facing correctly.

Features

ℹ️ Note: Not all features are listed in this manual.

Parking Mode

When the car engine is turned off, the Dash Cam automatically powers off in 10 seconds and enters Parking Mode. If a shock or crash is detected, the G-Sensor activates the Dash Cam to record a 16-second and a 60-second video, after which it re-enters Parking Mode.

Time Lapse

Time Lapse recording captures frames at a lower frequency than normal playback. This results in time appearing to move faster when the recording is played back. This feature can operate for up to 24 hours after the ignition is turned off.

ℹ️ Note: This function requires a hardwire kit (not included) for a constant power supply.

Emergency Recordings

A 16-second and a 60-second video are captured when the G-Sensor is activated due to sharp turns or sudden stops. When these recordings fill 30% of the eMMC space, the oldest recordings are overwritten by new ones.

Travel Log

The Travel Log records your driving path. Videos and photos store GPS information and display the route in your album. Your journey data can be stored in your personal cloud account.

ℹ️ Note: No personal data is collected. All GPS log data is stored anonymously in US Amazon Web Service.

Firmware/APP Update

APP Update

When a new app version is released, your mobile system and the app will notify you. Follow the prompts to update.

Firmware Update

Firmware updates can be performed Over-The-Air (OTA). Open the app, connect to the dash cam, navigate to Settings → Firmware Update, and follow the on-screen prompts to upgrade.

ℹ️ Note: Do not power off the Dash Cam during the update. It will restart automatically after a successful update. Contact support immediately if the update fails.

Important Notices

Please read all precautions, cautions, and instructions carefully before using this product to ensure proper and safe usage.

Precautions

⚠️ Warning: Do not expose this product to rain, moisture, or water under any circumstances, as this may result in the risk of electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than what is contained in the instruction manual unless you are qualified to do so. Have the unit serviced by a qualified service technician if:

• The unit has been exposed to rain or water.
• The unit does not seem to operate normally.
• The unit exhibits a marked change in performance.

LCD:

A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen is a multilayer complex component containing 384,000 pixels. Pixels can fail during normal product life; 1 pixel failure per year of operation is considered normal and not a cause for concern.

Battery:

• Do not immerse or expose the Dash Cam or batteries to rain, water, or other liquids.
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location (e.g., in the sun or in an unattended vehicle). To prevent damage, remove the Dash Cam from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.
• Do not operate the Dash Cam outside the following temperature range: -10° to 45°C (14° to 113°F).
• When storing the Dash Cam for an extended period, store it within the temperature range of 0° to 25°C (32° to 77°F).
• Do not use a power and/or data cable that is not approved or supplied by Miofive.
• Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the Dash Cam/batteries in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations.

G Sensor:

The G Sensor measures forces exerted upon the Dash Cam, referencing 'g' as the nominal force on Earth's surface. It triggers recording protection if a pre-determined force threshold is exceeded. G Sensor protection can be adversely affected if the Dash Cam is not mounted vertically. G Force information is derived via a sampling method and may not be totally accurate at all times. Thresholds for video protection are based on values exceeded between successive samples across three G Sensor axes. If automatic G Sensor protection does not trigger during an event, the EMER Video button can be pressed to protect the file. File protection can also be done via the Miofive App for applicable Wi-Fi models.

GPS:

GPS data has been simplified to reduce track points. While efforts are made to ensure accuracy, Miofive makes no representations regarding the accuracy, currency, completeness, or suitability of the GPS data for any purpose and accepts no liability for its use. The user acknowledges that the Dataset may not be error-free and is used at the user's sole risk. Information may change without notice.

Magnet Warnings:

The Dash Cam contains magnets that may interfere with internal medical devices (e.g., pacemakers, insulin pumps) and other electronic devices (e.g., hard drives, bank/credit cards). Keep devices with magnets away from such medical devices and use caution near other electronic devices or cards.

Windshield Mounting Legal Restriction:

Check state and local laws regarding windshield mounting before use, as some laws prohibit or restrict object placement. It is the user's responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances. Mount the Dash Cam where it does not obstruct the driver's view. Miofive is not responsible for fines, penalties, or damages incurred due to non-compliance with laws or ordinances.

Camera Legal Requirements:

In some jurisdictions, recording or publicly displaying images of people or vehicles may be an invasion of privacy. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable privacy laws. Video recordings are intended for personal use only. Publication of recordings on platforms like YouTube is subject to data protection legislation. For commercial use (e.g., truck use), CCTV regulations also apply, requiring labeling and informing authorities about data control.
