Installation of Dash Cam

- Insert the Mini USB end of the 12/24V In-car charger into the Mini USB input/charging point of the Dash Cam. Connect the charging socket end of the 12/24V In-car charger into the vehicle's 12/24V power socket.
- Turn the vehicle ignition to accessories and the Dash Cam will power ON and start recording automatically. An audible tone will be heard once powered.
- The recording counter will display red on the top left hand side of the screen to indicate recording has started.
- Adjust the mounting bracket and rotate the camera direction to get the best view.
- For the Dash Cam to work, it must receive power from the 12/24V In-car charger. Once power is removed or turned off, the Dash Cam will save the current file and then turn off.
Installation Diagram Description:
The diagram illustrates the interior of a car, showing the recommended placement and cable routing for the dash cam. The power cable from the 12/24V car charger (connected to the vehicle's power socket, typically near the gear shift) is shown routed discreetly along the windshield's edge, behind the rear-view mirror, to the dash cam unit mounted on the windshield. The area around the rear-view mirror is indicated as the suggested mounting location.

Video and Photo Playback
Playback
On the top left of the screen, a play symbol ▶️ appears for videos/photos taken. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through files. Press the button to view or playback. During playback, long press the button to delete or protect the file. Press the button to exit playback.
Accessing Files via Your Computer
To access video and images from your Dash Cam, connect the USB cable to your computer. Three options will appear on the Dash Cam screen. Press the button to select:
- Memory: For backing up to your computer. Press the button to download.
- PC camera: To use the Dash Cam as a webcam.
- Video: To show recorded files.
Alternatively, remove the SD card from the Dash Cam and insert it into a card reader to connect to your computer. A folder called "No-Name" will appear on your computer. Inside this folder will be your recorded movie files (AVI) and picture files (JPG).
Resetting the Dash Cam
Insert a pin into the reset hole on the side of the Dash Cam and press in while the Dash Cam is turned on.
Internal Battery and SD Card
Internal Battery
The internal battery is small and only designed to provide enough power to securely save the last recording when power is disconnected and to retain date and time settings. The Dash Cam is designed to be connected to power at all times when operating. If the Dash Cam is not used for an extended period of time, the battery may become completely discharged, which will cause the time and date on the device to default to the factory settings. If this occurs, please completely recharge the Dash Cam before use.
Formatting the SD Card
It is advisable to format the card weekly if you have the Gravity Sensing (G-sensor) setting turned on, or create locked files. This will fill up the card, causing it to stop recording any footage.
Locking Video Footage
Whilst recording, press the button on the Dash Cam to lock the recorded video. A padlock symbol ? will display on the screen. This will lock the file currently being recorded to prevent it from being recorded over. To remove locked footage from the Dash Cam, long press the button for options when in playback mode.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The suction mount will not stay attached to the windscreen.
Solution:
- Ensure the windscreen is clean and free of debris; use glass cleaner or an alcohol swab to clean.
- Ensure that the plastic film has been removed from the suction pad.
Problem: The Dash Cam will not power on.
Solution:
- Vehicle Accessory Socket: Check the vehicle accessory socket has power by plugging in another device or using a test light/multimeter.
- Dash Cam Power Cable: Check the fuse in the tip of the 12/24V In-car charger; it may need to be replaced.
- Dash Cam: Connect the Dash Cam to a computer via the USB cable to see if it powers up.
Problem: The Dash Cam shuts down when connected to the vehicle and the battery will not charge.
Solution:
- The battery will only charge while the vehicle is switched on.
- If the vehicle is not frequently used, the Dash Cam battery will fully discharge and may need to be connected to a domestic USB charger (such as a smartphone charger) for approximately 4 hours to fully charge.
Problem: The Dash Cam battery only lasts for a few minutes when power is disconnected.
Solution: This is normal. Batteries in Dash Cams only hold enough power to safely shut down the Dash Cam, securely save the last file when power is disconnected, and retain settings. The Dash Cam is designed to be connected to power at all times while being used.
Problem: The time & date settings reset every time the Dash Cam is powered on.
Solution: The time and date settings will reset when the Dash Cam's battery is flat. Make sure the Dash Cam's battery is fully charged in order to retain the time and date settings.
Problem: The Dash Cam menu cannot be accessed.
Solution: While the Dash Cam is recording, the Menu cannot be accessed. Stop recording before pressing the button.
Problem: The Dash Cam screen turns off after a few minutes when the Dash Cam is powered on.
Solution: Dash Cams have an automatic screen saver feature. This helps reduce heat in the Dash Cam and also makes the Dash Cam less distracting to the driver. If you prefer the screen to remain on, this can be changed in the Dash Cam settings under "Screen Saver".
Problem: The Dash Cam feels warm when it is operating.
Solution: It is normal for the Dash Cam to feel warm to the touch during typical use, especially when it is recording HD video.
Problem: The Dash Cam stops automatically while recording.
Solution:
- Check to see whether there is enough space on the Micro SD card.
- Ensure the correct Micro SD card is being used; 8-32GB Class 10 or above Micro SDHC is recommended. Other types of Micro SD cards may not be suitable for use in Dash Cams.
- If the correct Micro SD Card is being used, format the Micro SD Card in a computer.
- Micro SD cards have a limited lifespan and can become corrupt after a period of time due to the continuous loop recording function. If this has occurred, replace your Micro SD Card.
