Quick Configuration
KAWA AUTO APP
Download the "KAWA AUTO APP" (scan QR code). Use the app to view real-time video, adjust installation, and manage recordings.
Connecting: Open the app, click the [Add Icon], select "KAWA Dash Cam MINI3", and follow instructions. Ensure your phone connects to the dash cam's Wi-Fi hotspot (Name: "KAWA@MINI3@9999" or as labeled). Disable VPN if active.
Power Supply Usage
Use the provided car charger and cable. The manufacturer is not liable for issues arising from using non-original accessories. Be aware that some car chargers provide power even when the engine is off; prolonged dashcam operation may drain the battery. If parking monitoring is off, manually turn off the dashcam or disconnect the charger when the vehicle is parked for extended periods.
Micro SD Card Usage
A Micro SD card is required but not included. Use a Class 10/UHS-I card. Format the card in the dash cam before first use (this erases data; back up important files). For optimal performance, format the card monthly. Using low-quality or damaged cards may lead to recording failures. Do not insert or remove the card while the dash cam is powered on.
