- The original cable for rear camera is 20ft (fit most cars and trucks), if the cable is not long enough for your car, please contact us for a longer cable.

- We suggest to install the rear camera in the car. Because the windshield glass and film will decrease the color saturation and sharpness of the video.
Q&A
- Q1: SD Card error occur?
- A1: Format the SD card or replace the SD card.
- NOTE: Class 10, U3 Speed Micro-SD Card for 4K Video is required. We recommend SAMSUNG Class 10, U3 Speed Micro-SD Card . Please DON’T USE any “SanDisk Ultra” or “Generic Class 10 for HD Video” Cards from third party sellers.They are NOT made for 4K high-end dash cam.If you still have problems after formatting the SD card, please go to our official website to download the latest firmware to update.If you have any problems about SD card, please tell us and we will support you to solve.Avoid fake cards.
- Q2: Rear camera does not display?
- A2: Review the connection of each cable.If there still has problem, feel free to cantact us for a new rear camera.
- Q3: Can’t connect wifi or open the app?
- A3: Please find the app QR code on setting menu: product setting-app download. Turn the WiFi on(Turn the wifi menu on or long press the UP button to turn on),and find the WLAN on your phone and link it (password:12345678 or check it on the screen on dash cam). Please remember to turn off the VPN, security software and anti-virus APP of your mobile phone, otherwise you will not be able to connect to wifi. We have tested almost all common smartphones with Android, ios system on the market. If there still has problems connecting to the app, please feel free to contact us. We will give technical support.
- Q4: Connected to wifi, but it says unable to access the network?
- A4: That’s because this WiFi is a hub-type WiFi, which can only be used to transmit data, but has no Internet access function. That is to say, after the WiFi connection, it will show that there is no network. But the APP can be used normally.
- Q5: Why doesn’t WiFi turn on automatically?
- A5: Let me explain to you why we set the wifi to need to be turned on manually instead of automatically turning on the wifi as soon as it is turned on. Since many mobile phones on the market are single-channel mobile phones, the SIM card cannot be used after connecting to WiFi. We are worried that the automatic opening and connection of WiFi will cause some customers’ mobile phones to be unable to use 3/4G and miss important information.
- Q6: video playback freezes?
- A6: It is because the 4K video file is too large and takes time to load. It is recommended to download the video and watch it.
- Q7: Download video failed?
- A7: The high probability is that you set the video to 3 minutes or 5 minutes, the video file is too large and it quits in the middle of the download. It is recommended that you set the video to 1 minute.
- Q8: There is no suitable socket in the fuse box?
- A8: If there is no connector on the kit that matches your fuse box. You can cut the fuse plug on the cable, then unplug the cable and wrap the cable around the original fuse plug on the car. Just like in the picture. This installation is also very safe and will not affect the use, please rest assured. If the you does not want to feel unsafe, we can also provide an upgraded version of the Double-4 fuses Hardwire Kit.
- Q9: Can an OBD power plug adapter be used instead of the hardwire kit?
- A9: No, OBD is connected to the on-board computer diagnostic device, generally do not occupy it casually. It is recommended that he use a buck line.
- Q10: dash cam is hot?
- A10: Because our dashcam does not have a built-in battery, it is normal to heat up during operation and will not affect the use of the machine. If there is a heat that causes black dots on the screen or repeated switching on and off, replace the host for the customer.
- Q11: Why dash cam only has 1/3/5 minutes to choose? Can’t record for a long time?
- A11: This is because the dash cam has a loop recording function. When the memory card is full, it will automatically delete the first recorded content to provide storage space for new videos, which can solve the problem of insufficient storage space. If the recording time is too long, the number of stored videos will be very small and will be overwritten soon. This may result in the loss of important video.
- Q12: “Mass Storage” appears?
- A12: Because a USB cable with data transfer mode is used to connect the camera and an external power source. The camera enters the data transfer mode, which can only be used to transfer data and cannot do any other operations. It is recommended to use original car charger and USB cable without data transfer mode.
