VSYSTO CS5 Pro Motorcycle Dash Cam User Manual

Before Using the Product

Before using this dash camera system, check your vehicle manual or consult a professional to ensure the installation meets local laws and is suitable for your vehicle. This product records video while your motorcycle is in operation to assist with accident investigations and road events. However, it cannot guarantee that all incidents will be recorded due to varying conditions. Major impacts may cause battery voltage fluctuations or loosen the memory card, affecting recording results. Additionally, the dash camera with a display is intended to supplement, not replace, your standard rearview mirror or other vehicle mirrors. VSYSTO is not responsible for any losses caused by accidents and does not provide support regarding the outcome of such accidents.

Main Unit Structure

The product design may change without prior notice.

The main unit features a display screen with a protective cover. It includes a speaker and a microphone. On the rear, there are mounting screw holes. Ports include a card slot and a Type-C port. The wired controller connects to the main unit and includes indicators for GPS, power cable, and cameras (Cam 1, Cam 2).

Note: The Type-C port is exclusively for system upgrades and cannot be used for powering or data transfer. The card slot and Type-C port are protected by a cover secured with screws.

Connection Diagram

The connection diagram illustrates how to connect the cameras (front and rear), power cable, and wired controller to the main unit, which then connects to a monitor mount. The diagram shows color-coded wires and their corresponding connections.

Getting Started

Inserting a Memory Card

To insert a memory card: Unscrew and remove the protective cover, insert the micro SD card until it clicks, then replace the cover and tighten the screws. To remove the card, push it in to eject.

• Use a high-speed micro SD card (CLASS 10 or higher) and insert it in the correct direction.
• Avoid inserting or removing the card while the device is on to prevent damage.
• Format the card before first use and after collecting a lot of data to ensure smooth operation.

Power On/Off

The dash cam will automatically turn on and off when the ignition switch is turned on or off, provided the installation is completed correctly.

Shutdown Display Delay

When the dash cam is connected to the bike's battery and ACC power via the included power cable, turning off the ignition will keep the screen displaying single-trip data for approximately 5 seconds before it turns off. Single-trip ride data is cleared once the screen turns off. This 5-second display delay does not occur when using USB power.

Video Recording

Normal Video Mode

Both cameras start simultaneous video recording automatically when the device powers on and a TF card is inserted. Recording stops automatically when the power is turned off.

Emergency Video Mode

• G-Sensor Event Recording: Automatically activates emergency recording mode when a collision is detected. The LED on the wired control will flash rapidly. Video files saved in this mode are named "GSR 001," "GSR 002," etc.
• Manual Event Recording: Press the button on the wired remote to manually start emergency recording. The LED will flash quickly, and files will be named "KEY 001," "KEY 002," etc.
• Video cannot be saved if the TF card is not inserted or is defective.
• Up to 20 emergency video files (GSR_XXX and KEY_XXX) can be stored and protected from being overwritten. Overwriting of the oldest emergency files begins when there are more than 20 files.

Video File Name Information

Example: REC_220609-163256-00053F.MOV

• "REC" indicates a normal video file.
• "GSR" files are automatic emergency recordings.
• "KEY" files are manual emergency recordings.
• "220609" indicates the date June 9, 2022.
• "163256" indicates the time 16:32:56.
• "00053" indicates the video file number.
• "F" indicates the front camera video file.
• "MOV" is the video file format.

Parking Mode

When an impact is detected while the motorcycle is parked, both front and rear cameras will automatically record for 30 seconds. Recording then stops to conserve battery power. This feature is enabled by default and cannot be manually turned off. Under [DVR Setting Menu] > [Low Voltage Protection], a voltage threshold between 11V and 12V can be set. If the battery voltage drops below this level, Parking Mode will automatically disable to prevent excessive battery drain. The display screen will briefly turn on when Parking Mode recording is triggered by an impact.
