Operating Instructions
Connecting the Dash Cam to Your Smartphone/Tablet
IMPORTANT: Before attaching the dash cam to your windscreen, please follow the instructions below for connecting the dash cam to your device through WiFi connectivity.

- Download and install the CARREC app onto your device.
- Plug the dash cam into your vehicle's 12V socket to power up the dash cam. PLEASE NOTE: To operate the dash cam, you will need to make sure that the dash cam is connected to a 12V power supply. The unit does come with a small built-in battery unit, but this only operates for a very limited amount of time.
- Enable your WiFi on your smartphone/tablet, then search for a device that starts with "FH-T01".
- Select the device, and then enter the default password: 88888888. This will connect your device to the dash cam through WiFi connectivity. PLEASE NOTE: You can connect the dash cam to your device via WiFi connectivity, even when your smartphone or tablet is using mobile data.
- Open up the CARREC app on your device to see the screen below (Figure 1) where it will prompt you to connect to the camera. [Screenshot of CARREC app showing a device list with 'FH-T01_a09f1045dcde' as a selectable option.]
- Once connected, you will see a live feed from the dash cam on the CARREC app, as shown in the screenshot below (Figure 2). This means that your dash cam is now connected to your smartphone/tablet. [Screenshot of CARREC app displaying a live feed from the dash cam, showing a road ahead. Controls for 'HUD video', 'StartingRecord', and 'HUD photo' are visible, along with a large 'Video' button and a camera button.]
Recording Footage & Taking Pictures On The Dash Cam
Please note: To record footage/take photos, you will need to insert a TF/Micro SD card (not included) into the dash cam.
Recording Footage
To start recording footage on the dash cam, on the CARREC app, go to the screen with the dash cam's live feed (Figure 2), and you'll notice that the CARREC app is already set to video recording mode. To record, simply press the video record button [video camera icon]. To stop recording, press the same button or you can disconnect the 12V power supply (by turning off your vehicle).
Taking Pictures on the Dash Cam
On the CARREC app's live feed screen, select the photo mode, which is below the video recording button. This will switch to the photo mode, as shown below (Figure 3). To take a photo via the app, simply press the Photo button [camera icon]. [Screenshot of CARREC app in photo mode, showing the road ahead and a prominent 'Photo' button.]
DISCLAIMER: Please note, it is illegal to use your smartphone whilst driving in the UK. It is recommended that you commence recording before you set off to drive. For taking any photos, we advise to only take photos when the vehicle is parked up.
Viewing Recorded Footage/Photos
To playback footage or view photos that you have taken on the dash cam, go to the CARREC app live feed page (Figure 2). You will see two options: HUD video and HUD photo. The former takes you to the video gallery and the latter takes you to the photo gallery. Both galleries are stored on your Micro SD (TF) card.
To transfer the files onto your PC/laptop, you will need to remove the memory card from the dash cam and then insert it into your PC/laptop.
Loop Recording
This dash cam comes with loop recording, which allows you to record footage in a continuous loop when the memory card reaches full capacity. The footage can be recorded in short fragmented video files, and when the memory card reaches full capacity, it will automatically overwrite older footage files.
You record loop videos that are up to either 1 minute, 3 minutes or 5 minutes in length (default to 1 minute). Or you can turn the loop feature off completely.
Night Vision Mode
This dash cam comes with Night Vision which automatically comes on at night and in low light conditions. Night Vision mode allows the dash cam to continue recording clear footage regardless of lighting conditions.

Fitting the Dash Cam In Your Vehicle
Thanks to the dash cam's discreet design, the dash cam can be fitted onto the windscreen just behind the rearview mirror so that it doesn't obstruct the driver's view.
To fit the dash cam into your vehicle, please see the instructions below:
- Peel off the film from the adhesive pad.
- The dash cam needs to be placed on the windscreen, so please ensure the surface is cleaned before sticking the dashcam. Once the surface is cleaned, proceed to stick the dash cam onto your windscreen via the adhesive pad.
IMPORTANT: The dash cam can be stuck onto your windscreen with the camera lens on either the right or the left, from the perspective of the driver's seat. However, since you need to connect the 12V cable to the dash cam, we advise that the camera lens, from the driver's seat perspective, is on the right, and the adhesive pad is on the left (as shown in Figure 4). This allows the camera's 12V cable to lead towards the passenger side, ensuring the cable does not obstruct the driver. [Diagram showing recommended dash cam placement on windscreen with lens to the right and adhesive pad to the left.] THIS WAY ROUND
3. Once the dash cam is in place, connect the provided 12V cable to the dash cam. And thread the cable as shown in Figure 5. [Diagram illustrating cable routing behind interior panels.]
To thread the wiring securely and discreetly, you will need to remove the vehicle's interior panels. Please refer to your vehicle's manual or speak to a qualified professional to assist with this.
