When recording, press the lock icon to lock the recorded video. Recording indicator LED will flash YELLOW. To rotate the image, press the Image rotation button. Note: The camera does not have GYRO, so the recorded footage will not rotate, thus footage may appear upside down. Press the Microphone icon to turn audio on or off. To enter settings or playback video files, you must stop the recording. In live view & reversing mode, touch the screen and scroll Up/Down to change viewing area display. Note: this does not affect recording, for visual display purposes only. Touch the screen and scroll Left/Right to change brightness.

When not recording, press the playback icon to select recorded and locked recorded video footage. Press on the file to view on screen. You can press icons on screen to lock/unlock/back/forward/pause and delete recorded video files. Press the return arrow to exit to menu files. Press the return arrow to exit playback.

Connecting to a computer

You can remove the SD card from the Mirror Monitor and plug the card directly into your computer to access files. With the SD card inserted and connected to a computer, two folders will appear in the storage device: Normal and Event (for locked files).

G-sensor sensitivity

This function activates in the case of a car accident by determining the gravitational acceleration (1g = 9.8 meters/second^2). When this function activates, the Dash Cam will automatically save a 1-minute video file and save it to the Event folder on the SD card. We recommend Low Sensitivity to avoid false triggers.

Note: With this function turned on, it may fill up the SD card with locked video files. Re-format the SD card to create space. The device does NOT guarantee video recording of all accidents, as the built-in impact sensor may not be activated due to a combination of user settings and the level of impact during the collision.

Reversing guide lines

When triggered, the reversing guide lines only assist a driver with backing into a parking space or aligning with an object behind the vehicle. They do not measure distance. You should always get out of the vehicle and visually check the distance to aid the driver when using guide lines.

Formatting SD card

It is advisable to format the SD card when you first use the Mirror Monitor and also regularly if you have the G-sensor function on or create Locked files, as this will fill up the card causing it to stop recording any footage. 64-128GB Micro SD cards need to be formatted in the Mirror Monitor to be recognised.

Troubleshooting guide

If there are problems with the device, please refer to the following methods to resolve.

Cannot record video?

Please check whether there is enough space on the micro SD card or internal storage.

Stopping automatically while recording?

Due to the high amount of HD video data being recorded, please use a high-speed Micro SD card. To tell if you have the required high-speed card, check if it has the 'Micro SDHC' logo on the SD card. 16GB class 10 or above is recommended. Make sure that your card is labeled Micro SDHC and not Micro SDXC, as SDXC cards will not work with this Mirror Monitor.

Fuzzy/dirty image?

Please check if the lens is filled with dirt or fingerprints and clean carefully. Please clean the lens with cloth before shooting. Make sure to peel off the transparent protective sticker on the front of the Mirror Monitor's lens.

The Mirror Monitor is jammed or not responding?

Please reset the device in system settings.

Micro SD card not recognised by Mirror Monitor?

Format card in the Mirror Monitor's menu settings before use.

Note: To alleviate card problems, make sure the SD Card used is a quality brand from a reputable source.
