[Illustration showing the suction cup mount being attached to a windshield, with a close-up view of the locking mechanism.]

Step 2: Insert the Memory Card

The Rexing R316 accepts Micro SD memory cards (Class 10/UHS-1 or higher) up to 256GB. A memory card is required to begin recording.

Important: Before inserting or removing a memory card, ensure the device is powered down. Gently push the memory card into the slot until you hear a click. The spring release will then eject the card.

Step 3: Power on the Camera and Format the Memory Card

Connect the camera to a power source, such as the car cigarette lighter, using the provided car power connector. To ensure proper recording and prevent errors, it is crucial to format the memory card within the camera before first use. Always back up any important data from the memory card before formatting.

To format the memory card:

Ensure the memory card is inserted and the device is powered on.
Press the OK button to stop recording (if active).
Press the MENU button twice to access the System Setup Menu.
Use the Up Navigation (▲) and Down Navigation (▼) buttons to navigate to the "Format" setting.
Press the OK button to confirm the selection.

Once formatting is complete, you may disconnect the camera from power. The camera will shut down after 3 seconds. It will automatically begin recording the next time it is powered on.

[Diagram showing the dash cam connected to power and the System Settings menu displayed, highlighting the "Format" option.]

Step 4: Mount the Rear Camera (Optional)

If your model includes a rear camera, mount it as shown in the illustration. Use the rear camera cable to connect it to the R316 camera. The diagrams indicate the recommended cable routing for front, cabin, and rear placement.

[Diagrams illustrating rear camera placement within a car and cable routing options.]

Step 5: Installing the Camera onto the Windshield

Attach the dash cam to the prepared mount on the windshield. Carefully route the power cable around the windshield and tuck it neatly under the vehicle's trim for a clean installation.

Plug the Car Charger Cable into a 12V DC power outlet or the car cigarette lighter. Connect the other end of the cable to the camera's USB-C port. The camera will automatically start recording once powered on.

On a Computer: You can playback videos by either using an SD card adapter or connecting the device directly to your computer using the USB cable.

To use an SD card adapter: Remove the memory card from the dash cam and insert it into an SD card adapter, then place the adapter into your computer's card reader.

Parking Monitor (Parking Surveillance Mode)

The Parking Monitor provides surveillance for your vehicle while parked. When the engine is off, the hardwire kit supplies continuous power, protecting your car battery from discharge.

Option 1: Vibration Detection

To enable the Parking Monitor using vibration detection, you must connect it with a Smart Hardwire Kit.

[Diagram showing a hardwire kit connection: Switched Fuse, Hot Fuse, Ground.]

This feature allows the dash cam to automatically switch to parking mode when the vehicle's engine turns off and return to normal recording when the engine is turned back on.

Gravity Sensing Record:

The Gravity Sensing feature detects significant or sudden movements (like impacts or collisions), triggering an event recording. For optimal performance in Parking Mode, it is recommended to set "Gravity Sensing" to High sensitivity.

Note: If you do not use the parking mode function, please set the Gravity Sensing sensitivity to low. Otherwise, videos may be easily locked and cannot be deleted by the loop recording function, potentially filling the memory card with locked videos and causing the recorder to malfunction.

Please DO NOT ENABLE the Parking Monitor function without connecting a smart hardwire kit, as this may cause a malfunction.

Option 2: Motion Detection

To utilize motion detection, connect the dash cam with a Rexing Intelligent Hardwire Kit (sold separately). Ensure that the Parking Mode is turned OFF on your dash cam to prevent malfunctions.

Once the sensor detects motion, the intelligent hardwire kit will automatically power up the dash cam and begin recording until the motion is no longer detected.
